FUEGO

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Every time we begin to listen to a new La Bien Querida album, we are faced with the question of what we are going to find this time, because we know that itAEs going to be something completely new and different from what we have heard up to now. The title of this new release is Fuego (fire, in Spanish), which corresponds to the south, to red, to summer, to the heart - the fire of passion, of love and hate, the fire of the spirit and intuition. It was difficult to think about this album after the masterpiece that was Premeditaci'1/2'n, Nocturnidad Y AlevosYa. But the creative universe of La Bien Querida is immense and is used to having to outdo itself, handling a wide range of references and enjoying the process of erasing musical and lyrical limits. And Fuego is a kind of self-reconfiguration, a rediscovery, because musically there is a bit of everything we already know, but transgressed: the purity and insolence of oRomanceroo, the Latin and tropical fusion of oFiestao, the electronic force of oCeremoniao and the mournful darkness of oPremeditaci'1/2'n, Nocturnidad Y AlevosYao. This is all represented on the incredible album cover photo by Pablo Zamora, with the artistic direction of Pepe Leal and most of all an idea from Ana herself based on the Things Organized Neatly movement. The photo shows her surrounded by instruments, pencils, paintbrushes, albums, and everything that has led to the creation of her own universe.'
