José Gonzalez

Concerto de José Gonzalez no Centro Cultural de Belém, Lisboa – 19 de Fevereiro de 2015.

O regresso do cantor e compositor sueco (descendente de Argentinos) José González, ao nosso país, aconteceu no lotado Grande Auditório do Centro Cultural de Belém, em Lisboa.
Dois dias após o lançamento de “Vestiges & Claws”, o seu primeiro trabalho em sete anos desde “In Our Nature” de 2007, José González subiu ao palco do CCB para apresentar este novo trabalho num ambiente soturno e calmo onde o papel principal estaria entregue à música.

“It was no doubt a conscious decision to work without a producer. I didn’t want this to be too polished, or too ‘in your face.’ Most of all, it’s fun to be in complete control of the artistic aspect. Also, I was inspired by and picked up a lot of tricks from the producers I have worked with in the past. I like to use distortion and let things be a little overdriven, which gives things a warmer sound. Sometimes people complain that my music is too muddled, but I really do not want a modern crisp sound. I’d much rather aim somewhere between Shuggie Otis and Simon & Garfunkel.”
