Boye: “Today, Shakespeare would rap in the parks” | Culture | EUROtoday

David Menéndez (Barcelona, ​​35 years) accumulates 15 years as an interpreter. Boye, nonetheless, has just one file available in the market, Where are you going? (Life Records, 2024). To produce, he’s not in a rush, nor settle for it. Perhaps that’s the reason their themes, apparently enjoyable, enhance with a leisurely listening to seize all their layers: these of the lyrics, with satirical dyes, and people of music, 4 -handed cooked with the drummer of the Manel Group, Arnau Vallvé, and the collaboration of Refree. They current them within the Cadavra room in Madrid on Thursday, May 8, inside the framework of the Sound Isidro Festival. In Barcelona, ​​he’ll do it at NAU on the twenty first.

He isn’t just actor. Nor does it match the actor who generally sings and when he’s requested for referents, he quotes, neither extra nor much less, than Donald Glover… “as a result of he nonetheless writes a sequence like Atlantawhich composes a tune, corresponding to This Is Americathat performs a task within the saga Spiderman…“.

Ask. Childish Gambino is the alter ego Glover musical. His is Boye.

Answer. I’m each on the identical time, I’m an artist. And after all once I work in movies like The beasts or in sequence like Antidisturbsby Rodrigo Sorogoyen, I’m on the service of his work. But I’ve mine, and I wish to do it in my approach, make the most of every part I do know. Therefore, for me singing isn’t just singing and interpretation is key.

P. That is why he dared to model I’m sorry my lovefrom Rocío Jurado?

R. Yeah! As I say, Glover is a reference, additionally Noga Erez, Israeli singer and producer. And Little Simz, rapper, actress, composer … individuals who don’t pigeon in a self-discipline. And in Spain, I take a look at Gata Cattana’s legacy, for instance, but additionally jury. Not solely due to his unimaginable voice, however as a result of he interpreted the lyrics, he felt it, he lived it. And I’m an actor!

P. One that works with Sorogoyen, who quickly premieres a sequence produced by the Javis, I all the time generally, and that has tables, together with a number of shakespeares. What did Boye of King Lear be taught that Lluis Pasqual did or of the Macbeth from Moreno Bernardi?

R. The pulse. First, the one who had Shakespeare as a author, but it surely was additionally rapidly, that eye able to seeing and analyzing the souls and human beings of their current.

P. Do you assume Shakespeare could be a author in the present day?

R. Sure, however not simply. For the power to rhyme and his medical eye, I’d wager that Shakespeare could be rapping within the parks. And I’d do it very properly.

P. As you began. Have you made you are feeling foreigner in music?

R. No, though there are prejudices, individuals who imagine I acquired into this to do one thing else, however I began 16 years doing freestyle On the road, with colleagues.

P. Yes, it appears avenue, and in its video clips, thug. But within the theater they’ve touched paper. What tells me about JAURÍA, The work that reconstructs from the transcripts of the trial the violation of the pack?

R. I say that the work of Jordi Casanova directed by Miguel del Arco is superb, which was enriching, additionally seeing the influence on the general public: ladies reviving comparable conditions, hugged {couples} giving consolation … however it’s a type of works that you simply wish to finish as a result of they spend an bill. So I think about that I’d reply my accomplice, Ángela Cervantes, who represented the sufferer.

P. His music is extra enjoyable, though returning to Shakespeare … there’s something jester in her: mocking with bitter background.

R. It is that, for me, it is likely one of the variations between leisure and tradition. The two are lawful, however it’s a must to be clear about what you do. Culture has an inventive worth, an moral worth, a social worth and above all, it aspires to magnificence. But I feel I can summarize it higher with a bar [un verso] Of my subsequent theme: “A painting by Van Gogh is not the same as your Tiktok video.”
