The following Q A section captures the artist’s perspectives on what The Incredible Duo means to him, his thoughts on connecting voices across generations, and the realities of performing live on television.
What does The Incredible Duo mean to you?
The artist explains that after five years of taking on various challenges, this new project feels like a natural next step. He finds relief on stage when paired with fellow veterans and prepares carefully to ensure a strong performance every time.
I imagine it’s meaningful for artists with shorter careers to link their voices with peers who have a long musical history. The collaboration reveals the people behind the art and highlights the enduring craft of great singers who have sustained their instruments over decades. It’s inspiring to meet colleagues who remind him that he is not alone in the music world.
Give an example of how you view your voice.
He mentions practical habits like using humidifiers in rooms and during flights, describing his voice as constantly bubbling and thoughtfully managed. He laughs about not wanting to reveal too much about the person he spends a lot of time with, but confirms that their care for the instrument is mutual and that they share a focus on vocal health and technique.
What does singing live mean to you?
Live television offers a rare luxury with music in the room. He notes that previously he’d experienced live music in concerts but not as part of a television program. The format gives performers more freedom to interpret songs and interact with the audience, whereas some productions can feel constraining. On stage, freedom becomes the essential ingredient, and sharing moments with collaborators who respond to the moment rather than pressing a fixed idea makes the experience deeply rewarding.
What was the first feeling when he saw his partner on the podium before starting the first performance?
It felt special and a little surreal. They rehearsed with choir members, but the first live moment meant not knowing who would appear from the opposite side or which song would be sung. The fear of the unknown was part of the excitement, as they prepared to learn songs across a broad range of generations.
The essence of The Incredible Duo lies in letting go and adapting to deliver a strong performance.
Yes, that sentiment is close to the heart of the show. It creates space to understand the partner, to believe in the chosen song, and to explore in a way that can feel like crafting a brand-new piece together.
From Agoney leaving the OT Academy to the academy shown on The Incredible Duos, what has been the most significant change in his artistic evolution?
The most notable shift has been the discipline of letting go. He describes stepping onto the stage with full attention on the song and the emotion it conveys. The experience of interpreting music he loves comes first, with peers and mentors guiding the process. Letting go becomes essential to allow natural expression to emerge.
You are currently the winner of the Your Face Looks Like Me contest. In the upcoming season, Alfred and Miriam will participate as contestants. Have you offered any advice?
During a press event, a missed call from Alfred came through. He reflects that Alfred enjoys the game and that the upcoming season will showcase a playful side. The show will invite audiences to relax, have fun, and celebrate the lighter moments that come with competition.
Speaking of RTVE and Benidorm Festival, is there any thought about participating as an artist or composer?
He jokes about the timing and says the question is hard to answer. What matters most is staying true to his feelings and sharing them honestly. He has been speaking with María Eizaguirre recently and even traveled to Seville for an award. Benidorm Fest is a remarkable platform, and he cannot offer a short answer because the future remains open and evolving.
Whatever the future holds, if the opportunity aligns with his vision, he would be open to it. He respects Monica Naranjo as a presenter and would feel comfortable taking a similar role if invited. He knows many of the broadcasting team and is confident in the company behind Benidorm Fest and the cameramen involved.
Do you have a separate music project beyond this show?
He reveals plans for a bold project that blends striking visuals and sound. Decisions around this venture are carefully weighed, reflecting his calm temperament. The project is described as ambitious and likely to become a landmark recording, paired with a captivating live show that pushes creative boundaries.
In summary, The Incredible Duo presents a fresh chapter for a veteran artist who continues to evolve by embracing shared artistry, live television energy, and new musical landscapes. The format invites audiences to witness musical dialogues across generations, where collaboration and spontaneity enrich every performance. [Attribution: RTVE press materials]
