Mishima continues to present his latest album, L’aigua clara (TRIS, 2022), a work of poetic consecration and arising from the radical circumstances of the pandemic that his faithful audience will undoubtedly chant at today’s concert in Sant Feliu de Guíxols (9:00 p.m.). The band led by vocalist and guitarist David Carabén released this work after five years of creative drought, after publishing Ara i res (2017).
Together with Marc Lloret (keyboards), Dani Vega (guitars, banjo, mandolin), Xavi Caparrós (bass) and Alfons Serra (drums), Carabén will perform with the best of his repertoire… they will probably play classics such as Cert, clar i breu, Tornaràs a tremolar or L’olor de la nit. Or la más cabaretera Menteix primavera.
But it is in L’aigua clara where Carabén reflects, as a lyricist, very personal questions that the bizarre situation of the pandemic led him to turn into powerful poems: The great thief, Mia Khalifa (who takes his name from a fleeting Lebanese porn star), Gener sober, the luminous Cotó or Un troç de fang.
Since he presented this new gem, David Carabén has shown throughout this last year not only the impressive artistic moment he is in, with that profound perspective with which he reflects the impact of the pandemic on a society already closed in on itself, but also the splendid state of his vocal form. This Sunday night he will do it under the stars.
