Influences: JOSETE ORDÓÑEZSince the beginning of the Ninties, when Josete Ordoñez starts to explore instrumental music with his band “Elementales”, his highest restlessness was to learn from other musical cultures and from different musicians, form the most commercial, with whom he worked live in his recordings and productions, to the most avant garde, with whom he shared projects and tours in different continents.Almost ten years of travelling served to shape in this first solo album the musical aroma of far countries; cold and warm landscapes, squares of melancholic cities. Sensations lived through a guitar that doesn’t want to forget Flamenco. A guitar that is not always the main character of the story it tells, it does leave it to the Dantú (Vietnam) or to the Vihuela (Mexico)- as well as other instruments and voices- to paint the landscape.Because of this, in this Josete Ordoñez’s work, there are some paradoxes that surprise us while listening to it, and one of those is that is not only a personal speech of a musician, is rather an intimate and personal way of interpreting music; where you can find, apart from all the influences (Pop, Flamenco, Jazz, Chill Out, Score..), the compenetration between traditional and technological; and the use of voice as characters of a play.There’s also a subtle thread that links the eight tracks of this album; the dialog between the guitar and the voice as instrument; each vocalist takes us to different styles, the guitar unites them and leads them to a common place, a place where to find all our lost objects.
