Visto En El Jueves

Description

In this era of zapping, disposability, and social media, Rocio Marquez offers an exercise in memory. Listening to vivid and plural memories by using, cutting, assembling, and ultimately remixing songs and cantes, palos, and popular music that have a crucial personal connection: having been discovered by Rocio in the historic flea market "El jueves" on her street, calle Feria in Seville. Thus was born "Visto en el Jueves," the 5th album by Rocio Marquez, where she offers a critical reflection on the concept of authorship through a repertoire in which the distinction between flamenco and song blurs. We find arrangements of tracks by great figures of Spanish music as well as revisited flamenco palos. Bambino, Rocío Jurado, Paco Ibáñez, Concha Piquer, El Cabrero, Turronero, Pepe Marchena, José Menese, and Manuel Vallejo intersect and intertwine in serranas, abandolaos, fandangos, malagueñas, rondeñas, peteneras, bulerías, marianas, romances, and rumbas.
