ACHETER18€Tempo Rubato
2018Nueve meses tardé en parir Tempo Rubato. Como todos mis discos. Es fruto del amor. Está hecho de vida. De todo lo que di. De lo que me dieron. Del tiempo que me robó el amor. Del amor que me regaló tiempo. La manera en que está construido refleja y simboliza mi profundo respeto por el sabio fluir natural de los años y de la vida. Y es la síntesis de mi inevitable deserción de lo pautado para lanzarme en brazos de lo vibrante y verdadero. Es una obra que construyó la vida misma. Yo solo le puse la letra y la música. Y todos los años que han transcurrido desde el momento en que decidí que sería mi diario sonoro hasta el momento del alumbramiento, son la constatación de que lo que realmente me importa es el recorrido. El final es solo el resumen. La incuestionable verdad que solo conoce y desvela el tiempo y a la que vivo rendida.

ACHETER18€alCANTARaMANUEL
2009“alCANTARaMANUEL” nació por amor a la obra del poeta Manuel Alcántara; por mi absoluta conexión con el lirismo y el carácter tan íntimo de sus poemas y con el deseo de ser, única y respetuosamente, lo que Manuel cantaría si en lugar de contar cantase su vida.

ACHETER18€De fuego y de agua
2008Creo que fue en abril de 2005 cuando recibí la noticia de que las hermanas Labèque me buscaban para realizar conmigo un proyecto basado en música española. Se me ensanchó el alma unos cuantos centímetros cuando me di cuenta de que entre todas las voces que Katia y Marielle podían haber escogido para llevar a cabo su idea, habían escogido la mía. Pero, aún así, puedo jurar que si hubiese tenido que optar entre vivirme la parte humana o artística de las hermanas Labèque, hubiese escogido la primera, porque me encontré con dos mujeres absolutamente encantadoras, exquisitas y generosas, de una calidad y una calidez fuera de lo común.

ACHETER18€Tiempo de amar
2003“Que toda la vida me espere un momento, ahora es tiempo de amar”. Nunca una frase romántica me pareció tan conmovedora. Quizás también sea suficientemente explícita para quien se pregunte qué hace una cantaora dejándose el alma en un disco de canciones de amor.

ACHETER18€Querencia
2000Es querencia la palabra que mejor define el sentimiento que le dio la razón de ser a este trabajo; hacía mucho tiempo que no plasmaba en un disco mi sentir en forma de música flamenca; y es bonito que uno recuerde de donde viene, sin sensación de rigidez o inmovilismo, sin autolimitación; yo creo que los límites siempre son impuestos por la gente que no puede traspasarlos; y el flamenco es mi origen, no mi yugo.
También ha sido muy hermoso constatar que la evolución que agradezco al tiempo cada día, no consiste en el perfeccionamiento de la técnica, sino en cuánto consigo con ella y a pesar de ella, transmitir lo que siento. -
ACHETER18€FreeBoleros (Tete Montoliu)
1996Un bolero es una melodía nocturna y próxima, olorosa y frutal, que sirve para llorar, para adorar, para abrazar como la hiedra; para apagar un loco amor que más que amor es un sufrir; para olvidarse del tiempo, del mundo y de todo; para ver la luz del otro lado de la luna; para borrar antiguos besos en los besos de otras bocas; para pedirle a un reloj que nunca amanezca. Un bolero es la última oportunidad para cortarse las venas con el filo de una metáfora antes de hacerlo con el cuchillo del pan.

alCANTARaMANUEL
2009« alCANTARaMANUEL » was born from my love of poet Manuel Alcántara’s work; from my consummate connection with the lyricism and intimacy of his poems, and from my desire to reproduce, uniquely and respectfully, the words I believed Manuel would sing if he were to narrate his reflections through song rather than words.

2015To all of you, for allowing yourselves to be swept up by my enthusiasm and for making my cause your own. Nelsa, Chico, Guillermo, Vicens, Olvido, Marc… Thank you for your involvement and for the privilege of sharing love and respect, in equal parts, beside you.

De fuego y de agua
2008I think it was April 2005 when I received the news that the Labèque sisters wanted to collaborate with me on a project based on Spanish music. My heart swelled with pride when I realised that among all the voices that Katia and Marielle could have chosen to bring their project to life, they chose mine. I can honestly say that if I had to choose today, between experiencing either the human or the artistic side of the Labèque sisters, I would choose the first. I have never met two more charming, exquisite, generous women in possession of such extraordinary talent and compassion.

FreeBoleros (Tete Montoliu)
1996A bolero is a familiar nocturnal melody, fragrant and fruity. It can make you cry, worship, embrace like ivy. It can extinguish a burning love that brings more suffering than loving; make you forget about time, the world and everything in it; show you the light on the other side of the moon; remove the imprint of old kisses with kisses from other mouths; ask a clock to stop ticking. A bolero is a last chance to slash your wrists with the edge of a metaphor before doing it with a bread knife.

Querencia
2000Querencia is the word that best defines the raison d’etre behind this work. It had been a long time since I had used flamenco music to pour so much of myself into an album. And it’s wonderful to recall your musical roots, with no constraints or immobility, with no limitations. I believe that limits are always imposed by people who are incapable of crossing them, and flamenco is my origin, not my yoke.
It has also been incredibly rewarding to realise that evolution, for which I thank time for every day, does not consist in perfecting technique, but in learning how I can work with it and transmit what I feel despite it. - ACHETER18€
Tempo Rubato
2018It took me nine months to give birth to TEMPO RUBATO. Like all of my discs, it is a product of love. It is made from life. From everything I gave and from what was given to me. Of the time that love stole from me and of the love that time gave me.

Tiempo de amar
2003« I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life; now is the time to love. I had never been so moved by a romantic phrase. Perhaps it will also be explanation enough for those who wonder why a cantaora would etch her soul on an album of love songs.
