Spanish singer Bunbury announced Monday that his new tour ‘Nuevas Mutaciones Tour 2026’ will begin in October in Mexico, in what will be his return to the North American country with performances that try to approach Latin music with “own compositions”.
“Both (his last two albums) look at Hispanic and Latin American music with his own compositions and I wanted to somehow face the challenge of using genres that I have been passionate about and that belong not even to my generation, to previous generations, which was the music that my parents or grandparents could listen to,” he said in a press conference from Mexico City.
Bunbury recently released his latest album -‘De un siglo anterior’-, his fourteenth in his solo career, and now begins a tour that will take him to places “as emblematic” as the National Auditorium of the Mexican capital, one of the “best stages in the world to perform”, and that will begin next October in the Mexican city of Puebla (center).
“There are very big places and there are smaller places but here you have the audience very close, you see their faces, it’s wonderful (…) I’m looking forward to these shows, they will be very special and that closeness with the audience and the sound of this place make these concerts very special for me,” said the musician, born in Zaragoza (Spain) 58 years ago.
The result of this work that he now exhibits is an approach to Latin American music, which allowed him “to know more closely what are those rhythms, those harmonies, those melodies so beautiful and beautiful”.
As he explained, the process of creation and getting on stage involves “some magic”, since “nothing is what it seems” and when the performance is over “we are all more normal and similar” to the people.
“It is true that music is a magical act. The power to show through songs feelings that are often difficult to express in words. All of that somehow has a trick,” he said.
Of the songs ‘De un siglo anterior’, Bunbury highlighted ‘La voz’ above the rest, since it tells what happened to him three years ago, when he had a problem with his voice that made him “get off the tour”.
“I thought I was never going to get on stage again. Somehow it reflects that moment in verse and music,” he recalled.
In addition, with the title ‘From a previous century’ he wants to convey a “provocation” in an era in which “every technological advance is embraced as if it were always a desirable progress or if there were something intrinsically good”, because in his opinion there are technologies that “make us lose a little of our humanity”.
“Technology often brings us positive things and sometimes it brings us moments of conflict with our own human essence. And it seemed to me that the title encompassed a bit of that conflict we are in right now, a conflict that is not resolved,” he concluded, reported Agencia EFE.
