DE AYER MAÑANA (From Yesterday Tomorrow). A sentence -already in disuse - that was used to locate what was in the past, it serves for regular a current work with future projection.
"I need to know of where I come to know me better, and that at the beginning was a search of my authentic culture, it has become the recognition of such a firm music that no composer can overcome.
The traditional music, that in the first place an individual composed (and not to make money), him delivery to the people, this makes it his and leaves it passing his descendants as an inheritance until it arrives to us refined as a jewel by force of following it singing, without promotional campaigns neither market monopolies, this way I recapture it, I recreate it the best thing that I know and I pass it to the following ones.
But I have not been alone in the task of recording the themes of this record, the band that habitually accompanies me, substitutes and invited, they have polished this work in an unquestionable way.
To them and those that came before I owe them part of what I am". Eliseo Parra.
With this declaration Eliseo Parra presents to us its new project, a record and a direct one more surprising, if it is possible, that his previous works.
Eliseo Parra and their band, with more force and vitality, fruit of several years without pauses in the scenarios, brings us a new one direct… fresh, vital, contagious, with new themes and fusions that will surprise more even of than he has us accustomed.
Certainly, Eliseo Parra has consolidated as the Spanish artist with more international projection, showing the variety and richness of our music.
