José Gonzalez
Event
Few people are as acclaimed worldwide or as “silently” as the Swedish José Gonzalez. “Local Valley”, his long-awaited fourth album, is a soothing reminder that you don't have to scream to be heard. Since his debut single, “Crosses” (2003), both he and his music have remained silent and unpretentious. “Local Valley” shows his unique ability to communicate modestly but powerfully — starting with the sunny “El Invento”, the first song he recorded in Spanish (the native language of his Argentine heritage), and ending with the intimate and rhapsodic “Honey Honey”. Along the way, he engages us in his melodic and metrical hypnotism, influenced by classical folk singers and music from Latin America and Africa.
