Don't know they are Catalan Selma Bruna, the mallorquina Clara Fiol and the Valencian Sandra Monfort. They are interested in tradition as a force for innovation. His songs drink from the present and try to honor the past. They present us with a forceful and hopeful album based on an investigation into death in traditional music. To do it, have heard vigil dances from the Valencian Country, death songs from the Balearic Islands, classic masses for the dead, the discs of Rodrigo Cuevas, Maria Arnal or Tarta Relena and many other references that have permeated his songs. With Pau Vallvé in the musical production and Jordi Casadesús in the sound production, the disc combines synthetic sounds with other organic ones, there are prophets and square tambourines, Easter drums are playing there, elegies, Feminist reggaeton and voices play a central role. The album was accompanied by a tour with a very careful staging in terms of aesthetics. In addition to music, the wardrobe, the scenography and the treatment of sound and lights are at the service of generating an immersive experience. Marala's concert becomes a safe space to atone for everything: the irreverence, the collection, the macabre joke, the liturgy. The universe that Marala has created from death ends up being a wave of fresh air that widens the confines of life.
