Joan Colomo – Contra Todo Pronóstico CD
Colomo, Joan – Contra Todo Pronóstico CD We insist: Joan Colomo is a crack. Not content with having injected a revitalizing dose of freshness into The Unfinished Sympathy, nor with captaining La Célula Durmiente, the most free-thinking and free-playing group in the state, in addition to continuing to rehearse with the classic and influential Zeidun, Colomo has pulled a solo album that represents one of the most interesting and refreshing surprises of the season. With his well-known cultural bicephaly, between his Navarran roots and his roots in the Montnegre hills, Colomo gives a revolutionary twist to the Castilian song and the Catalan song; with unpublished lyrics in him to date, we are discovered as a master of the protest song, with political nihilism as head and love for human relations as an alternative to mundane dirt, Colomo confronts a brutal aggressiveness of content with a moving formal candor. The musical eclecticism that has always characterized him is also present here,
