The concert, part of the 'Noches en el Parque' cycle, will feature a twenty-song repertoire intertwining music, spoken word, and visuals to tell a story about resilience and the importance of moving forward. Admission is free until full capacity.
Initially conceived as the title for a new song, 'Despierta' evolved into the emotional core of the performance. A deeply transformative experience for the team altered the direction of the upcoming album, the setlist, and the understanding of the music itself, resulting in a concert that serves as a call to value the everyday: breathing, being, caring, returning, and spending time with loved ones.
The show addresses the vertigo of an era dominated by haste, screens, and 'absurd immediacy,' but moves beyond mere critique to explore the possibility of awakening, rebuilding oneself, and finding a way back to oneself through others. The songs dialogue with original texts, literary references, and a multimedia proposal designed to make each piece part of a larger narrative.
“"For me, a concert cannot just be a succession of songs. It has to tell a story, ask questions, and leave something lingering when the last note ends. 'Despierta' is music, but it is also memory, word, image, silence, and shared life."
The repertoire will include twenty songs and an encore, featuring pieces from Larrea's previous works and the 'Absurda Inmediatez' universe, alongside eight new compositions from the forthcoming "Despierta" album. Tracks like "Hoy somos campeones," "La parte que regresa," "Confía," "Respira," and the title track will be heard for the first time. Familiar songs such as "No entiendo nada," "Tiempo lento," "El vértigo de los sueños," and "Yo me bajo en Alcalá" will also be performed, building a narrative arc from contemporary confusion to confidence and awakening.
An intimate moment will feature Diego Larrea and Willy Urrea performing Eladia Blázquez's "Honrar la vida" with just piano and voice, serving as a bare pause within the show and a recognition of their shared journey.
Diego Larrea's artistic journey, born in Buenos Aires and based in Spain for over two decades, is marked by a bridge between Argentina and Spain, evident in songs like "Yo te he perdido" and "Yo me bajo en Alcalá," which blend references from both cultures.
“"I have two homes: the home where I was born and the home where I live and dream. I don't need to choose between them. Music is the great bridge that allows me to come here and go back there, knowing that on both sides, they await me."
Larrea will be accompanied by Willy Urrea on saxophone, flute, and piano; Jorge Reguero on guitar; Alejandra Lozano on vocals; Ainara González on keyboards and pianos; and Alejandro Zarzalejo on drums. Artistic and musical direction are by Diego Larrea and Willy Urrea, with multimedia design by Paul De Carte and sound by Miguel Gutiérrez. The performance combines live music with spoken word, visuals, and a specifically crafted dramaturgy for the evening.
Diego Larrea is a Hispano-Argentine singer, writer, and composer whose work blends indie pop rock, contemporary singer-songwriter styles, soul, and Latin nuances, influenced by artists like Charly García and Luis Alberto Spinetta. His solo career includes albums such as "Río de Espejos" and "Absurda Inmediatez," as well as the book of the same name. Under the concept 'Music for Giants,' Larrea's concerts aim to create spaces for reflection and human connection, with 'Despierta' heralding a new phase.
