NOTA DE PREMSA (2008)

“Guillamino és realment algú a qui cal vigilar”, escrigué Gilles Peterson arran del llançament japonès del músic barceloní. “Ho té tot: soul, beats, veu, idees...” Tots aquests elements s’intensifiquen en el seu tercer disc en solitari, Les minves de gener, que aprofuendeix en el genuí so Guillamino. Un maridatge entre electrònica i música negra que ha comptat amb el talent de Dive Dibosso (7 notas 7 colores) a les mescles i que consolida Guillamino com un dels músics més sorprenents i imprevisibles de l’escena barcelonina.

Guillamino retorna al carril central de la seva carrera musical, recollint el testimoni dels discos 1 dia (2003) i Somnis de llop (2005), aclamats per la crítica. Portava dos anys de viatge. Han estat temps d’intercanvis i descobertes musicals ben diversos (sardana, hip hop de joguina, cançó transoceànica, bandes sonores...) però també un viatge físic, per geografies que ara impregnen els nous sons guillaminers. De Birmània a Nova York. El mestissatge que proposa Guillamino representa l’altra cara del so Barcelona. Menys obvi, més profund.

L’electrònica és l’eix vertebrador, l’element base de tots els temes de Les minves de gener. Guillamino en fa un ús càlid, humà. Beats escrits a mà que busquen el groove, amb l’ajut de la guitarra espanyola. El color l’hi posa la veu, que cada cop reivindica més la seva faceta de soulman. I el toc final, les espècies que arriben d’arreu del planeta, amb aromes que ens remeten ara a Orient, ara a l’Àfrica negra. Guillamino busca les arrels profundes de la música de ball.

[ENG]

Guillamino walks on the human side of electronica, mixing dub, hip hop, minimal and house in a unique way, adding spices from all around the world. And he sings with a voice full of soul!

For all these reasons, today Guillamino is one of the most brilliant musicians in Barcelona, as you will discover listening to his latest album, Les minves de gener.

Following releases by Spanish indie label Bankrobber, Guillamino
was broadcast by BBC Radio 1 DJs Gilles Peterson and the late
John Peel. It gave him the chance to release a Japanese compilation
‘Atzavara’ with the renonwed Third Ear label. In 2008 Guillamino
played at the Red Bull Music Accademy and was added to the
roster of the Detroit-based management and booking company Alter
Ego (Model 500, UR, Juan Atkins).

Guillamino has recently played at SXSW in Austin, Texas and in June
he’s going back to Sónar, in Barcelona. In the past, he has played in
countries such as Japan, Chile, Germany, France and Italy.
Guillamino’s latest album, Les minves de gener, was released in 2008
and premiered at Primavera Sound in Barcelona. The album shares
a love of both electronica and black music and takes the listener on a
trip around the world, melding spices from Burma to NYC.

Before the release of Les minves de gener, Guillamino spent nearly
two years working on several side projects that proved his musical
world to be open-minded and always surprising: mixing electronica
with traditonal Catalan Sardana (Música de ball), a weird
approximation of hip hop and poetry (en/doll) and a songwriting
project about exile, alongside Chilean singer Manuel García (eXile).
