1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: We started a band very young, when I was like

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: eight years old. Eight, yeah, something like that. On Fridays,

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: they did like fifteen minutes before you left the school,

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: they did this radio program for all the classes. They

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: were I don't know. The principal was talking to the

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: students and they were then somebody was reading a poem

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: or something, and then the three of us we sing

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: a song that we wrote during the week. But it

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: was funny songs for children.

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: Can you remember any of them?

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 3: No?

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: But you started performing then for yeah, everybody in your

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: school was listening to you sing.

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the beginning of my career.

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: From futuro media. It's like in the USA, I'm Maria

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: ino Josa. You may not know it, but Enrique Bumburi

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: is a Spanish rock legend, and yet here in the

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: United States he could walk by a crowded street in

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: a major city and many people wouldn't even know that.

20
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 2: With over thirty years in the business, Boomburi is known

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: for constantly reinventing himself, taking his electric guitars and fusing

22
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: them with cabaret ballads, tropical rhythms, and now in his

23
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: latest album electronic music, Las Falla Boomburi made a name

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: for himself as the frontman of EROIs del Silenzio, one

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: of the pillars of roqu En Espanol in the nineteen

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: eighties and early nineteen nineties. Then he started a successful

28
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: Possibrib will be out soon. Ala Boomburi's loyal fans have

29
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: followed him throughout all of the different phases of his

30
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: musical expression. Earlier this year, he published a letter on

31
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: his website for his followers, letting them know that Possible

32
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 2: will be his most personal album yet. Today, we sit

33
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: down with Bumburi to discuss his thirty year career, what

34
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: he does to stay current, and what is it about

35
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: music that keeps him going. Enrique Bumburi, thank you so

36
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: much for joining me on Latino USA.

37
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: It's a pleasure to be with you here.

38
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: You are a humongous rock star in many countries, in

39
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: Latin America, in Spain, here in the United States. You're

40
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: building an audience. But I'm wondering, if you were to

41
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: meet somebody who's never heard of you, how would you

42
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: describe yourself? What would you say about yourself?

43
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Well, it's It's funny because when I go to school

44
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: meetings with my daughter, I meet parents of my daughter's friends,

45
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: and obviously they don't know me, and sometimes they ask me,

46
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: what guy of music do you do? And I don't

47
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: know what to say because I can try to find

48
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: a definition for my last album, but trying to find

49
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: a definition of my whole career. To say something that

50
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: can show them what I have done, it's kind of difficult.

51
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: So normally I say Latin alternative.

52
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: Because I feel alternative and more today than everything is

53
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: urban or it's I don't know, romantic or regional, but

54
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: the rest we are all alternative.

55
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: I love the notion of you, these like extraordinary rocks

56
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: start having to explain to your little girls friends, like look,

57
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: actually I do these concerts and they're like filled to

58
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: you know, fifty thousand people. But I'm just here picking

59
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: up my little girl. Yeah, that's what I do. So

60
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: I want you to take me back to your first

61
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: memories of music. So you have said that while other

62
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: kids were playing soccer, you were inside writing music. Can

63
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: you take me to those moments in your childhood? Where

64
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: were you what were you seeing? Were you seeing the kids?

65
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: You know? Kicking the soccer ball around and you were like, no,

66
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 2: do you making like yeah intro.

67
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: Well, the thing is that I have an uncle that

68
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: when I was between six seven eight years old, he

69
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: was giving me these causets of music that he recorded

70
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: at home with mainly was the Beatles. That was the

71
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: thing for me. Listening to the Beatles at that age

72
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: like a revelation. This is what I love and what

73
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: I felt listening to those songs at home. I talked

74
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: to my friends, I said, I want to do music

75
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: to make feel to other people what I'm feeling right now,

76
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: listening to songs like in my life places.

77
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: So it's like your favorite you know of that classic rock.

78
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: Well, I grew up with British music like the Beatles,

79
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: for example, but also with American music from Elvis Presley

80
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: to whatever happened in the sixties and the seventies. Also,

81
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: David Bowie was super important for me. This moment is

82
00:05:50,080 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: still one of my heroes. In this last three years

83
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: that I've been doing music, I have done so many things.

84
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: I've done rock music, but I've done also Latin roots music.

85
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: I've done electronic music and this, you know, I've done cabaret,

86
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: so I can relate with these changes that David Bow

87
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: related in his careers.

88
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 2: So in nineteen eighty four you co found Aroes del Cilenzio.

89
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: If you're thinking about Spanish language rock, I mean in

90
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: a lot of Wayses del Cilenzio is like one of

91
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 2: those pillars of the rock and espanel movement. Would you say.

92
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: That Will In mid eighties, something was happening all around

93
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Latin America and also in Spain. Everything was changing and

94
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: in some countries started before, some countries we started later,

95
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: but there were a few bands that were happening at

96
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: the same time more or less. And in Argentina they

97
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: had Soda Studio that they started before, and in Mexico

98
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: Cape Vanish. In Spain it was a silent and I

99
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: think with these three bands we had a kind of

100
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: a similar attitude to the music and we came from

101
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: the same influences or we love the dark music that

102
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: came from England in the eighties, bands like the Q

103
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: or Jr. Division, but we also knew about the classic rock.

104
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: It's something that happened at the same time. And there

105
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: was also other bands, but they had other influences. But

106
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: we three, I think we came from the same place,

107
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: and we developed a huge audience in our countries and

108
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: then we moved to all the regions.

109
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: I mean the name of the band Eroes de Silenzio

110
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: Heroes of Silence. And yet of course you were not silent.

111
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: And not at all. But we came from a very

112
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: small city in Spain, that is Theraphat is in the

113
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: middle of the desert and it's between Madrid and Barcelona. Madrida, Barcelona,

114
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: they are big cities and they had all the media

115
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: and everybody was listening to what was happening there. But

116
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: in Sida also we were a small scene. There were

117
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: people trying to do cinema, painting, writing music, whatever, but

118
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: nobody was listening to what we were doing. So we

119
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: tried to be heroes of that silence.

120
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: So, Enrique, your tenth album comes out in April, and

121
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: we want to play a little game in order to

122
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 2: get to know your music better. So I'm gonna take

123
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: you on a short trip through some of your lyrics.

124
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a sentence and I wonder

125
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: if you can tell me what moment of your life

126
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: comes to mind.

127
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see.

128
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: So the song is albuen Comun and the sentence is

129
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: el mismo silenzio al mismo tiempo. El mismo is content.

130
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: Now smart he comes.

131
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: That's really beautiful silence at the same time that there's

132
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: humor and discontent, sadness and exhaustion, holding hands with hope.

133
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: Well, that is a very specific moment in my life.

134
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: I remember. This is from my second solo album, that

135
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: is Pecan. It is an album that I really like,

136
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: and I was after the first album that was Radical Sonora.

137
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: I had a huge problem with the record company and

138
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: well also with my followers. It was a cilancy was finished.

139
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: I did my first solo album and featuring my followers.

140
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: There were people thinking if we don't support him, he's

141
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: going to go back to It was a cilancia and

142
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: there was no coming back. And I was thinking, well,

143
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: I have to do something, maybe for the last time.

144
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Maybe this is my life album, but this is going

145
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: to be what I really think about everything. So I

146
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: started to write, well, one of my most profound albums

147
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: and most sincere, with simple lyrics, very understandable lyrics, because

148
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: I've done lyrics that are kind of cryptic and these

149
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: are very straightforward. So I remember perfectly being in that

150
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: room in that house alone in front of the Mediterranean Sea,

151
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: writing these thoughts like this is maybe my last albums.

152
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't.

153
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: God, what a great story. Okay, here go's another one.

154
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: The song is include the lost impulsive lists, cickes com

155
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: rodes nuevos local. If you want to commit a few

156
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: little new errors, talk to the local band.

157
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: Okay, that's from Flamingos. And at that moment, I was

158
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: living the rock star way of life, the hard way.

159
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: I was enjoying it a lot, with all the consequences.

160
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: Which means a few little errors that could.

161
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: Be more than two.

162
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: Coming up on Latino USA.

163
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: There is a part of me that has been doing

164
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: this for a long time. There is a part of

165
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: me that has the same or even more enthusiasm than

166
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: the first a So I have both things. Sometimes I

167
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: feel like I'm tired to do the same thing.

168
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: Stay with us, Yes, Hey, we're back. And when we

169
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 2: left off, Enrique had taken us through his thirty year

170
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 2: career and his rise to the top. And while he

171
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: has spent much of this time on the road playing

172
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: in massive, sold out shows, Boomboody also plays in smaller

173
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: venues in order to reach as many fans as possible.

174
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: And while that would seem like downsizing to some, for Boomboody,

175
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: it's actually a way to connect more intimately with his audience.

176
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: So you spent a lot of time touring in twenty ten,

177
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 2: you toured the US. You visited fifteen states, Detroit, Dallas, Chicago,

178
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: New York, Denver, Boston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Salt Lake City.

179
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: I mean, why did you decide to tour and to

180
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: tour at that moment in twenty ten.

181
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: That was a moment that I came here to California

182
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: to leave.

183
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: Was it in part like a business decision?

184
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: Well, it was because I've been coming to the States

185
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: since the beginning of my career with Roselle Cilento in

186
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: the late eighties and the beginning of the ninet But

187
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: in those years I was doing the main Latin cities Miami,

188
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: New York. Sometimes I was going to Boston, Chicago, and

189
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: then Houston, Dallas, and La San Francisco. That was it.

190
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: That was my tour in the States. But I was

191
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: having these conversations with my promoter here. I was saying,

192
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: I know that there is Latin people everywhere in the States.

193
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: There is fifty million people. I am a right speaking in

194
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,239
Speaker 1: fifty five million people speaking in Spanish in the States,

195
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: and they are not in these areas anymore. They are

196
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: all around, they are spread. They are even in Canada.

197
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: So I want to go there and visit them and

198
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: play for them. And I know that in some places

199
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: there are not such a big population Latin population. But

200
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't mind to come from playing in a big

201
00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: arena or stadium in Mexico, go to, for example, in Milwaukee,

202
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: and go to play for two hundred people. I'm fine

203
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: with that. I don't care. So we started to build

204
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: our touring schedule in another way. It wasn't easy at

205
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: the beginning because in some places we were playing in

206
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: Los Angeles or in New York or Chicago, we were

207
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: playing for I don't know, three thousand people, and in

208
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: some other places I was playing for two hundred.

209
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: How did you I mean, I'm not breaking any news

210
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: here when we talk about rock stars and musicians having

211
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: big egos, right, so, how did you manage that in

212
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: terms of like, well, all rockstars can handle that? Well?

213
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: I was talking to my manager. My manager always tell

214
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: me that what I really like the most is what

215
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: he calls the impossible tour, the Impossible Tour is I

216
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: prefer to play in Milwaukee for two hundred people than

217
00:16:53,200 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: playing in Madrid for ten thousand. I want to say

218
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: anything bad about playing in Madrid. I love Madrid, Love Madrid,

219
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: I love Madrid. But I have played so many times

220
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: in Madrid. So for me to go there and playing

221
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, or to go to Tokyo to Japan and

222
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: play for two hundred people, that's my happiness. I've been

223
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: playing in this what we call the Impossible tool to

224
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: Poland or places like who goes there to play for

225
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: two hundred people? I love it. So we try to

226
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: finance these places that I love with the rest of

227
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: the tour.

228
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 2: So you're going to be touring the United States again

229
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 2: coming up in this November. This time you're going to

230
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: play just eight cities. None of them is in the

231
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: East Coast, by the way, So.

232
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm not playing in the East Coast in November because

233
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: it's so cold. I'm playing in May. So all it

234
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: has to do with is temperature is temperature. So I'm

235
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: going to the East Coast and I'm going to Chicago,

236
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: and I'm going to the North in May.

237
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: I love that. So we'll see you on stage.

238
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: Of course, for sure, for sure. So twenty twenty one, Yeah,

239
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: that's going to be twenty twenty one.

240
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 2: Nice and warm, Nice and warm. So you are a

241
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: solo artist, but your relationship with your band is really

242
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: an essential part of your whole kind of connection as

243
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: an artist. And I'm just wondering if you can talk

244
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: a little bit about again. You know a lot of

245
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: rock stars, they'll be the center and the band in

246
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: the back, and for you it's something very different.

247
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I sign as a solo artist, but I

248
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: work as a band class. My band they have been

249
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: with me, some of them for twenty years, so they

250
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: have been with me for a long time and we

251
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: know each other and they are so important for me.

252
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: And also they are that comes to the shows, they

253
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: know them. I'm very interested in show them that I'm

254
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: on a stage with a band, that we are a team.

255
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: We work together, and we call together. The people who

256
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: place in the album is the people who are on

257
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: stage playing for them.

258
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: So your new album, your tenth studio album, is titled

259
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 2: Possible Possibly.

260
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.

261
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 2: It's really said to be a sonic turning point, and

262
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 2: it seems that in this one you're going to be

263
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: incorporating a lot of electronic elements, more so than in

264
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: your previous albums. And in a note to your fans,

265
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: you've said that it's a very personal album and you've

266
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: talked about you know, from the very beginning its Lenzo

267
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: was different because of this very personal connection to the lyrics.

268
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 2: So what is going to make this particular album so

269
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: personal and different for you?

270
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: Well, this album the title possible. It's about all the

271
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: possibilities that you have left behind that you could do

272
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: and you didn't, and all the possible versions of yourself

273
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: that are in the future for you that you can

274
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: be a different guys. And sometimes I also think about

275
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: professionally and obviously personally, what can you do? What kind

276
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: of person can you be? Every day we take lots

277
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: of decisions even without knowing it. I mean, you wake

278
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: up and you go to the same job because you

279
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: want to. You can change. There is a version of

280
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: myself that maybe doesn't happen. Ever, there is me being

281
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: a baker or a shoemaker or whatever. And there's a

282
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: version of myself that can be a better husband or

283
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: a better father, or a better lover or whatever. And

284
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: those options torture me and give me hope at the

285
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: same time. You Okay, So Briskyses.

286
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: Said, there's a part in Drigue that makes me think

287
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: like this is also like the reality of getting older.

288
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: Right it could be. I mean, and I think, as

289
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 2: they say, those of us were over fifty, it's basically

290
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 2: we just haven't grown up. You know, we're still like,

291
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 2: well we're twenty five, right, Yeah, how do you manage

292
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 2: this notion of being an older rock star.

293
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: Well, there's a part of me that has been doing

294
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: this for a long time. There's a part of me

295
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: that has the same or even more enthusiasm than the first. Ay,

296
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: so I have both things. Sometimes I feel like I'm

297
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: tired to do the same thing. But at the same time,

298
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: I wake up and I say, whether I like the

299
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: most or maybe one of them things that I like

300
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: the most in the world is to write a new song,

301
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: to create something that gives me life in the dis

302
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: or no. It's very difficult for me to quit. Sometimes

303
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe touring is too much because writing

304
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: songs I do it at home is a personal thing.

305
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: It's an inner thing. It's something deep and I really

306
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: like it. But to go on stage. You have to

307
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: show yourself every day the best of you try to

308
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: play for others. And I like it also very much,

309
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I like it that much

310
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: to be one year and a half on stage.

311
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: In fact, you said in the documentary El Camino mas Lergo.

312
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: You know you've been touring since nineteen eighty you said quote,

313
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 2: I've wasted my entire life doing.

314
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: This, Trian because this is pretty hell, told me Vida.

315
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 2: So you've actually said that sometimes that You're.

316
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, sometimes he's happened to me. I could be

317
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: another guy. It's not the only thing that I like.

318
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: I love music, but everything that you do, if you

319
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: really like do you have to give dedication to that.

320
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 2: A lot of your fans come along with you as

321
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 2: you have changed your styles from one album to another.

322
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: Whether it's hard right, I don't understand that boy, you know,

323
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: because I'm listening and I'm kind of scrolling through the

324
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: playlist and I'm like, Okay, this is really intense rock

325
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: and roll.

326
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: Reminds me a little bit of led Zeppelin, which I

327
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: kind of love. Then there's something that reminds me of Bowie,

328
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: and then there's an a ladda you.

329
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: Know all that you knows, explore the semely small. I've

330
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: done a lot of things, and sometimes I feel like

331
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: how my followers have come with me all this long journey,

332
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: because some of the things that I've done someday can

333
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: seem like opposite, even the opposite of what I've done

334
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: the album before. But I'm really grateful for my audience

335
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: to understand what I do and to follow me these years.

336
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 2: So this is a question that I like to ask

337
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: artists at the end of the interviews, which is, if

338
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: you could speak to yourself when you were just starting,

339
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: what would you say to that younger Endrique who's just

340
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: starting to play in the world of rock and roll?

341
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: What would you say to him?

342
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: Now, trust your situation, you're right and the other thing,

343
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: get a good lawyer.

344
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: I think you're doing both now right.

345
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: Well, I don't have a lawyer, but sometimes I think

346
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: maybe I need one.
