Amid smiles and a naturalness possessed only by musicians who create from the pure present, Mezquida recounted that he had responded that way to a question posed by a journalist from Ibiza. The phrase served as the unintentional thread that guided a concert which reiterated, with absolute certainty, that the music of this duo needs no framework to be understood. It simply happens, flows, builds, and transforms before the audience.

]]> <![CDATA['O fado', so there is no doubt]]> Seeing and listening to Marco Mezquida is always a new experience. From any branch of music that passes through his eclectic style, a cutting always emerges, as delightful as it is implausible. Therefore, seeing him perform fados is like gathering the delicious fruits of a previously unknown tree. He arrives accompanied by Lisbon singer Lina Rodrigues, with whom they have given a small twist to the sad genre par excellence, starting with the piano, the instrument over which the songs are veiled. This circumstance alone is quite significant, and I'd like to think that, in some way, it also requires small changes in the way they sing. In any case, the concert they gave in Pollença, within the framework of Sondenitide 25, in the legendary Claustro de Sant Domingo, and with which they began the tour to present the album they have recorded and which will be released in September, was completely encouraging, and with the public, which almost filled the venue, right to say goodbye to the couple.

Premieres are special concerts. The first contact between artists and their work and the public. The first time the work is shared and the sensations of the listener are perceived. Attending is witnessing the first heartbeat, a story that begins to be written with music. And it means being part of that initial heartbeat.
