Bunbury and Vegas in the Gran Teatro del Liceo – Barcelona

The Lyceum will host Barcelona next Thursday 30 November the only performance that Bunbury and Vegas will offer to present their common project 'The time of cherries’. Según Bunbury, this work began in June 2005, before they would end their tour with Hurricane Ambulatory, who left early “by desire to investigate and learn” and “take a different approach” his career after “covered a cycle”.

“I wanted to collaborate with other musicians and feed back. Start a new stage with nothing to do with the previous one because human relationships go bad routines for creating, but also understand who is with the formula and equipment”, explained the singer. A musician oriented electronic Barcelona, Carlos Ann, was the promoter of this project, a “lifeline” para Bunbury, and collaboration with Vegas “how not to face it alone”.

Bunbury and Vegas sought “a common” where were happy, a place that was not clear at first, but park two months the project and assemble a backing band mixed, with members of their respective formations, helped them define “this band sound” so sought.

“There was an idea, yes a common context in which two personalities marked fall, an attitude of understanding music and songs, with common references and the same universe”, the agency Efe said Nacho Vegas. “If I say a few years ago, I would have been strange record with Enrique”, adds.

The result of this particular union is 'Time of the Cherries'. A DualDisc, edited by EMI, recorded in El Puerto de Santa Maria (Cadiz) and produced by Paco Loco. Gary Louris, Christina Rosenvinge, Jorge Rebenaque, Raul Fernandez and Copi are some of the names that, somehow, have participated in this project.

A rock album where everyone writes her songs, among which are 'Strange Days', 'Ungrateful bitch', 'Secrets and Lies', 'Now', 'The direction of your dreams', 'The Hunter’ or 'Time of the Cherries'. Topics, in the case of Bunbury, assume his return to the language of rock. “We both wanted to do a rock record and, in my case, wanted to get away from 'Disappear here”, his latest work, explains the former member of Manta Ray.

For Enrique Bunbury, in Spain not perform more projects of this type because “Sharing is not on the agenda” as you must “give and listen”, and “the creation of the ego, inside you, and the work tends to be personal”. For his part, Vegas unknown why are not more common this type of collaboration in Europe, where “more professional zeal”, but adventure “are projects that have to come up with a more or less long career, musicians who have played with his group and solo, and then your way is with other”.
