Recitals a domicili

The Recital a domicile presented by the musician Guillem Callejon i Caussa and the rhapsodist Eduard Carmona is based on the recitals they performed, lasting almost a decade, with a full jazz band in different private homes that required their services to live a poetic and musical experience of proximity from the comfort of their homes, in exchange for dinner. The artists brought together in a single show three elements that form part of Barcelona's cultural identity: music, theatre and recited poetry, which reached the zenith of its popularity in the city a few years ago thanks to venues such as Horiginal and Heliogàbal.

The show is eclectic musically and poetically: surf, classical guitar, jazz, guacamole, Gregorian chant and samples are mixed with a monologue that reviews texts by poets such as Jacques Prévert, Francesc Gelonch, Laia Malo and the Rector of Vallfogona. Guillem Callejon i Caussa's guitar comes and goes with melodies and Eduard Carmona's voice stitches the minutes together with the words. The music is good, the recitation is good, the singing is bad and there is a good laugh. What else do you want?
