Pioneer of an artistic movementNacho Vegas has always established itself as one of the most respected figures in Spanish music. His ability to give freedom and confession to his songs made him forerunner of a genre that has deteriorated somewhat over time. He is no longer known for being indie or rocking. Your name has grown so much that you don’t need tags. While continuing to benefit from his last record released more than a year ago, he takes a break from his free time with the new singles he releases periodically.
existence Worlds still collapsingHis last album continues to maintain its importance even though it has been more than a year since its release. Do you think that in this way you are fighting against the hegemony of the fast music industry?
Since it is a music industry, there is also that trend; It seems to me that things haven’t changed much between Elvis and Bad Bunny. What we can and should do, both as artists and as independent offices, is not to get caught up in this devilish rhythm imposed by the market and try to determine our own dynamics.
It’s like going from a 26-track recording Gold, Saltpeter and Coal To one in 10 people seem to see the transfer of their artistic creativity in pursuit of advertising. What does the number of songs on a record depend on?
We’ve recorded five more songs that are part of crumbling worlds, which we’ve released as singles since December. But every stage is like a journey where the road itself is more important than the number of kilometers. There are short trips that are much busier than other very long ones.
In turn, he took advantage of this time to release a new single. abundance and amenAn enveloping song that reflects the raw and direct lyrics. What meaning do you make of this subject beyond its most natural reading?
This is the third of the singles I’ve already mentioned. A song of love, pilgrimage, abuse, mud and pleasure as active resistance to such a wretched world.
He has always been characterized as a person who tends to question the reality that surrounds him. Do you make the same effort to question yourself?
Sure, every day. The reality that surrounds me begins with me, it is my gaze that questions it and is therefore prone to questioning.
Nacho Vegas unexplained actions would it be the current one’s friend?
Yes, of course. The current one is more of a jerk, but also a little bit smarter.
“Haya is one of the enemies of creation”
Being part of so many people for so long creates ties of thought that go unnoticed at first glance. Do you think a listener’s opinion can be formed as a result of listening to him?
Music can make you see clearly what you only manage to see for a moment, there is no manipulation in it.
Aren’t you ashamed of it?
No. Haya is one of the enemies of creation.
Do you understand the image of the musician as an idea generator?
No, what you create is not as important as what you convey with it. And it could be a thousand different feelings, I’m not saying opinions, but real feelings.
But his followers and private media are generating this view. In fact, it is the judgment of the public that somehow magnifies his figure. What do you think about people’s perception of you?
I’m not very aware of it and I don’t think it’s very relevant either. The important thing is to write songs and write them with your feet on the ground.
Now, after a small tour with showcase concerts in Portugal, she continues her national tour with a concert in Alicante. What can the public expect from your live show?
It’s a valuable uncertainty that the best concerts have until they start.
