Antonio de García de Diego’s piano performs and Joaquín Sabina’s tinker voice enters: “When my face doesn’t appear in the newspapers, nor do the bride and groom dance on wedding nights, when it’s only fashionable if I fall off the stage again.” . The tune is known as One final waltz, It is written by Sabina himself along with Benjamín Prado and produced by Leiva. Sabina (Úbeda, 75 years outdated) has simply introduced a brand new tune, a ballad together with her stamp: twilight, dragged, cynical, night time owl and hooligan. He alludes to his personal defects and a few virtues and highlights episodes of his life, similar to his well-known fall into the pit of the WiZink Center in February 2020.
Almost as vital because the tune is the video, a gathering of associates who come collectively to entertain the protagonist and have a final drink. First Leiva seems, then Joan Manuel Serrat. And so on till finishing twenty colleagues and associates: Ricardo Darín, José Tomás (with lengthy hair and beard), Andrés Calamaro, Ariel Rot, Benjamín Prado, Luis García Montero, Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Alejo Stivel, Jorge Drexler… They additionally seem girls, within the background: Sabina’s accomplice, Jimena Coronado, and the singer’s daughters, Carmela and Rocío. The video, which takes place in a cocktail bar, is directed by Fernando León de Aranoa, chargeable for the documentary in regards to the musician, Feeling very sorry, launched in 2022, a yr earlier than the final tune printed by Sabina, Against all odds (in March 2023).
This is how León de Aranoa defines the target of the video: “If this is going to be, as he says, Joaquín Sabina’s last video clip, his last waltz, there was no choice but to go out and dance with him. The song has a lot of inventory, farewell, confession. Nothing more cinematic than doing it to a bartender, at that time when the bars are about to close. It’s in many movies, it refers to the Nighthawks from Hopper’s painting, at the end of Fat Citythe John Huston film, in which Stacey Keach desperately searches for an interlocutor on the other side of the bar, to whom she may later have nothing to say.
The song and video come with a third announcement, that of the dates of the Spanish leg of the tour that was announced in summer as the last in large venues. Is called Hello and goodbye, will tour America starting in January 2025 and will stop in 16 Spanish cities after starting in Gran Canaria on May 1, 2025.

Although he anticipates that after this Hello and goodbye “There will be no more endless journeys through crowded venues,” the artist retains up his sleeve “the ace of reappearing at will, whether because the muses whisper poems or songs worth sharing, or because he feels the urge to get on.” to any platform to present, give us, a tribute.”
