Since his move from Paris, you'll have to travel all the way to Ecuador to hear Argentinian guitarist-singer, author-composer Leandro Bonfiglio live. His albums and collaborations affirm his vast array of talents: from the complex and virtuous musical dialogues of his duo Tritten-Bonfiglio, to the near perfectly constructed songs of his group Ora Sauce... or even his magnificent personal project, humbly named "Canciones." His heart-filled, satin voice combined with his exquisite touch and instrumental technique give an entirely new dimension to the words "soft" and "strong." It was with real pleasure that we accepted his invitation to play his own composition, Y serás flor (Anahí)
Leandro Bonfiglio est un guitariste, chanteur, auteur et compositeur argentin. Après quelques années à Paris, il vit maintenant en Équateur.
Ses albums et collaborations affirment la diversité de ses talents. Les dialogues virtuoses et complexes du duo Tritten-Bonfiglio, les chansons ciselées de son groupe Ora Sauce, ou son projet magnifique et personnel, sobrement nommé "Canciones"... Autant d'occasion d'apprécier sa voix proche et simple, son jeu large et généreux, dont l'intensité donnent aux mots "force" et "douceur" une nouvelle dimension.
Il nous a offert, en bon invité, de le rejoindre sur sa chanson Y serás flor (Anahi).
lyrics
Te vas en el abrazo afiebrado
de las lenguas que te roban el suspiro,
y hay un río que te llora en su murmullo
y un arrullo de mil pájaros perdido.
Anahí, Anahí…
Te fundes en las ramas y las hojas,
como el canto embriagador de tu garganta
se fundía con la tarde y con el ritmo
de una siesta demorada sobre el río.
Anahí…
Ya besando el horizonte va la noche
y tu cuerpo es de cenizas en el monte.
Hay un secreto que se escurre entre los sauces,
baja hacia un cardumen de dorados
y se expande, camalote entre las flores,
en un complot para dar vida algún milagro.
Anahí…
Ya la noche se ha ganado el horizonte,
tus cenizas ya son pétalos y brotes.
Mañana el sol dará color a tus mejillas
cuando su luz rebote el rojo de tus labios
y habrá una patria despierta de pupilas
que se verá reverdeciéndose en tus tallos.
