Quique González has returned to the walked ones this year with a new album of study, Daiquiri Blues (2009, Last Tour Record), which keeps on offering his facet of good singer-songwriter rested on a good band, giving life to new topics where the love keeps on being a modality that does that the public interferes in them and ends up by making them proper.
Following the recommendation of my friendly Koala, who says that he disconnects of the group one week before the concert and does not listen to it until the day does not come, this way to enjoy more; I came to the concert of Quique González in the room from Segovia All The People, placed next to the unbeatable Roman aqueduct, without having listened to his last work and his previous discs for time, looking for this surprise.
Quique González – You Seized (YouTube) Me
Two years ago, the singer of Madrid already visited Segovia to present his seventh disc, Breakdown and Redemption (2007, Warner). It was with his previous band, The Aristocracy of the Quarter, of which only his inseparable Jacob Reguillón is supported, to under, that there joins the already known one by the parish of González, the baterista Tony Jurado, as well as David Jurado (guitar) and Julián Maeso (keyboards, guitar).
In that occasion, Quique González offered a direct quite slack, very subdued one and scarcely strongly. Yesterday, on the other hand, it showed another face and offered us his best side, as if the change of band had revitalized him and had brought the artist of previous years again.
Two hours that there lasted the concert and the way with which it confronted the songs like that testify it. González proved to be very happy on the stage, his guitarist David Jurado was a big support during the whole direct one, with good alone of guitar when the songs needed it, that, unfortunately, for who we like listening to a good Gibson sounding, was in little occasions.

‘ Daiquiri Blues ’, his new single, was the topic chosen to give beginning to the concert, another symptom of which the night it was promising, because it is not very usual to open with one of the most awaited topics and that are sounding more in this moment. The public, as it was of waiting, got overturned from the beginning and this way up to the last topic. The people chorused almost all the topics and apart from the everlasting bad-mannered persons, who keep on believing that a concert is to pay 23 euros to take a few glasses and to give the night to of nearby, who determined that there was less slow in the repertoire, the people answered filling the room, achieving a big concert ambience.
Between the new topics there were slipping in some of the already classic ones, where more they shone: ' You seized me’, this time without Jorge Drexler as couple as it happened in The American Night (2005, Warsaw!!! Records), of which there sounded ‘Crossed Lives’ and ‘Hotel Los Angeles’, chosen for the closing. ‘Wet birds’ it is still equal of alive that in Wet Birds (2002, Universal Music) but without the trumpets of the study, as the close friend ‘Small Rock And Roll’ or the rocker ‘Wet Miss Camiseta’, who stopped for the first bises batch. ‘Although You not Lo Sepas’ or ‘In The Backstage’ they began in absence.
Of In love Kamikazes (2003, Warsaw!!! Records), my favorite album of González, only they fell down the one that gives title to the work and ‘Soft It Is The Night’, for bad luck of those for whom we were waiting of listening to ‘Stones and Flowers’ or ‘Streets of Madrid’, which sure that will sound in the double appointment that the artist has next weekend in Madrid, where I will see him again I hope touches it. Of course, they changed the tempo of ‘In love Kamikazes’ and Tony Jurado he added a new rhythm to the drummer that remained brilliant.
And of Breakdown and Redemption #7 (2007, Dro Atlantic) sounded the homónima and ‘It has Set off’.

Of between all the piece of news, I liked very much ‘The Moon Under The Arm’, where González bets for the acoustic format and his calm touch at the time of counting love stories, ‘Risk and Height’, written by César Pop, and with a good approach to the Jazz, and ‘A Precise Weapon’, where the band had one of the moments of the night to be shown. Only I began in absence ‘Something Removes Me from You’, a slow tempo to the piano of the house.
A big concert of a good musician with good companies who keeps on congregating to the new faithful who earlier were not meeting him and keeps on taking care of the everlasting ones, touching between averages one of his mythical ones, ‘Saltpeter‘, of the best moments of yesterday.
