Quimi Portet

Bad trip, new blankets. And if it rains – and God forbid the downpour of bad clothes we’ve been suffering for a few years now – we’ll do it in the Pavilion. And precisely this – If it rains, we will do it in the Pavillion (Live in Cincinnati) – is the title of the new double live album that Quimi Portet published at the end of 2020: the first live album of his career and also his first compilation of “greatest hits” (with two unreleased tracks).

Recorded in the course of several concerts of the 2018-2019 World Tour with the power trio completed by Jordi Busquets (guitar) and Ángel Celada (drums), this beautiful box illustrates the transmutation into a genre in itself of an artist who beyond the millions of records sold with Los Burros, Los Rápidos and El Último de la Fila, he has not stopped being faithful to his own universe.
A universe where rock’n’roll is transformed into a vehicle of thought, a dynamo of irony and a transmission belt for what Dylan turned into high literature.

A gift that you can now enjoy again in its natural habitat – the stage – and which testifies to Quimi Portet’s enormous contribution to music in Catalan over the last thirty years.
