Today, Saturday, September 12, Café La Palma will welcome one of Fernando Alfaro’s famous acoustic performances, as part of Vibra Mahou’s Escenarios Madrid series. Tickets are on sale.
In the acoustic sets of the legendary Spanish singer-songwriter from the 90s, his solo material has always featured, such as ‘Camisa hawaiana de fuerza’, and there are also always classics by Chucho, like the masterful ‘Magic’, or by Surfin’ Bichos, such as ‘Fuerte’.
The news is that recently there have flourished versions not only of his own writing but also by other artists. This is how he explained it in La Tribuna de Albacete: “There are also surprise covers, because I tend to change my repertoire quite a bit at each concert or tour: I already have so many songs…”.
Although we have been asked not to reveal the songs Alfaro usually covers live, we can say that it may involve pop classics so distant from the artist’s violent and mournful imagery as Madonna’s ‘Like a Virgin’, whose author died just this year. Something we would not have guessed in a million years and that indeed show him, in virgin territories for him. His pen has always been much darker…
