" And suddenly it was the bird on the branch, "Enrique Morente singing by granaína and lament was bright. And suddenly it is not Henry and we are left alone, blind as the archers. With all the tragedy of Lorca loaded shoulder, "fell the statues to open the big door" . And no eyes to mourn, or even hand cut our right ... Harry has ido " mercury with a glove and a silk." Lorca is bouncing all the walls. And behind him, all the poets. Flamenco, music and art in degree of excellence are crying flowers "cough colors" .
He did not like being told teacher. It sounded like a joke. With that joke as his, because life is so kind, used to say: "We live miracle" . And yet, launched with a mischievous chuckle, "We unscathed." Morente was always willing to fit the disaster. The fans do not have that luck. Everywhere I go on this trip, you know the teacher that we are wounded, watching the picture of grief. I remember hearing that when something had gone wrong on stage by technical things, " forgive, but we also need to fix the feelings . " Well, there we are, orphans and comfortless. This time the world has stopped and will not go around.
paradoxical thinking man, Enrique Morente lessons learned. He was the oldest singer and the most modern, all at once, in order and harmony. In the last interview for the newspaper Público, when releasing the album "Morente flamenco" (2009), he said: "I am a singer without identity" . Meant that he was finding himself at every turn. He knew his mother sang and he started singing buck, being six (choir boy) in the cathedral of Granada. The fascination with Gregorian chant is in all his work, and of course, on his album " Misa Flamenca" (1991).
Singing "Masses Morente, you ask? Some unprepared. Yes, but pay attention to the lyrics. Are the same singer "red" on the left when that thought was not devalued. Morente is the singer who starred in the San Juan Evangelista short concert in the history of flamenco. It was the night of that famous "ascension" of Carrero Blanco. Before the suspension by the competent authority, only had time to sing this fandango Enrique: "Pa that car funeral / I take off my hat / as the man who goes into / me has made me go / the most terrible torments" .
Morente From very young reached at Madrid, to make a living as professional singers. He leaned against the old masters: Pepe de la Matrona , the Lobitos Bernardo, Juan Varea ... Rafael Romero "El Gallina" pushed him to sing in tablaos. And Henry did not stop learning ever since. Always with the same question: "We will be wrong?" Sign in their actions and doubt in the mind, Morente has been a permanent lighthouse.
Like Prometheus two other of his generation, Paco de Lucía and Camarón, Enrique has been building steadily, gaining new audiences, young people, a blow for truth and art. But in his case, the number of profiles is such that it is not surprising that this last time I went, around with Picasso. On every corner I saw and lived Enrique music. Whatever he did was flamenco, with a sort of cubism cubed.
Early discs "Cante flamenco " (1967) and "old songs of flamenco" (1968) and delivered to a fully formed singer, a young man of only twenty-five years is already in possession of the "mysteries" of flamenco. The glare of poetry will come with the work "Homage to Miguel Hernández " (1971). In the same year, 1977, published two summits: "Homage to D. Antonio Chacón "He claims heroically old icon, and" Taking off ", with guitar Habichuela Pepe's sister, where the great game of tonal architecture of Henry knocks the audience.
have migrated to Mexican soil, where he met survivors of Republican exile. And there, far from Spain, discover more depths of English poetry. San Juan de la Cruz , Alberti, Machado, Lorca, Bergamin, Leon Felipe, Pedro Garfias ... For that matter, that Cuba is very handy, Nicolás Guillén. Enrique Morente's discography, brilliant and daring where is, incorporates all these sensitivities, given a consistent opening. Until the recent letter calls for help from a poor dying and Miguel de Cervantes solemnly sang Enrique with a beauty and truth that filled glory.
The Caribbean music, North African music, the Bulgarian voices, rock and jazz, has courted many loves Enrique. And among the most unexpected and joyful, "Omega" (1996), where the bursting of Lorca poetry and songs of Leonard Cohen live with passion rocker Nick Lizard Granada Group. In these days of anxiety, I've been listening to one after the other recordings of several concerts that Morente done in the Colegio San Juan Evangelista Madrid over the last twenty years. Has been the particular way to prepare for what they do not believe me. Enrique Morente is gone. Now what do we do?
