Juan Aguirre and Eva Amaral have so far released four songs from what will be their new album, Dolce Vita. In total, there will be 15 topics in which they talk “about the beauty of the world, which is perhaps the most subversive thing that can be talked about today” but “there is also space to deal with the cruelty in which you find yourself in the world” , they say in the interview with Carlos Marcos in EL PAÍS.
Together with the music journalist they review some of the moments that have marked their career in the last two and a half decades. In their conversation they address the impact of fame, the power of gestures that become iconic—like when Eva Amaral sang bare-chested at Sonorama—, their origins, and the concerns that continue to move them. In addition, the artists refer to the duo’s only major crisis in 26 years.
“Sometimes they have taken a photo of me at a party, but I have never felt harassed. There yes. It overwhelmed me: I didn’t understand that they could want a photo of my family at my mother’s funeral,” says Eva Amaral. It happened in 2007. “It was a shockbecause there were paparazzi in the cemetery. We saw that it was not the scenario in which we wanted to live: that of going from people to characters. And that was a big moment of crisis,” says Juan Aguirre.
The album’s release date was scheduled for November 29. It has been postponed – it will probably be released in the first months of 2025 – due to the delicate health situation of Aguirre’s father, Carlos Marcos states in the article. Amaral’s revolution is not negotiated. Until then you can listen to four of the songs from Amaral’s new album: Icebreaker, Libre, I don’t understand y there you are.
