Ten years ago, Maria Rodés from Barcelona decided to reinterpret the copla, freeing it from the clichés that associated it with the Franco regime to show it as it is in Maria canta copla (Chesapik), music of popular origin that circumstances have covered with a non-existent solemnity. in its origins. Free of burdens, Rodés sweetly sang songs traditionally linked to heartbreak and heartbreak that caught the attention of none other than David Byrne, former Talking heads, who took her as an opening act in 2015. Now she recovers those songs in the Bank Mediolanum Festival Mil·lenni with a concert in the La Paloma room accompanied by Isabelle Laudenbach, Marina Tomás and Marta Roma, her usual live band.
Collaborator on several soundtracks, novelist (Duermevela. Los Sueños de Maria Rodés) and lover of experimentation, the Barcelona singer-songwriter has shared projects with Refree, Jorge Drexler, Coque Malla and Albert Pla. In her long career, she has published eight albums, the last of them, Fuimos los dos (Elefant records), in 2022, with a mix of folk, pop and Latin American music.
