Second time for Quin Delibat at the Santos stage. This time the band fronted by the one and only Jordi Cardona (known as Sr Cardona when he DJs) performed as a trio instead of a sextet.
Alongside the addition of a sixth member, since their show in 2019 the band has been working on their upcoming fourth release with the producer Omar Gisbert (funnily enough, long-time sound tech at Dorado Live Shows). Last month they published the advance single "Solstici", which of course we heard yesterday along with another three new songs: "Turisme de records" (which gives name to the album), "Hawaii" and "I encara en vols més?". The rest of the set included songs like "Com és que balles tan bé?", "Ara o mai", "Hem de parlar", "Melodrama", etc.
Even as a three piece, the most popular catalan-singing band on the island is always entertaining.
After resident dj Colin Peters played "Heroes" by David Bowie, it was time to welcome the star of the evening. Mikel Erentxun was the singer of Duncan Dhu, one of Spain's biggest '80s bands, and also developed since 1992 a solo career where he even experimented with electronic sounds in the late '90s, although he quickly returned to the classic rock sound of the band that made him famous. Most importantly, he's still relevant today and known among young music lovers. As an example of it, to celebrate 35 years on the road, in september he'll publish Amigos de guardia, a duets album featuring la crème de la crème of the Spanish indie pop scene. Guests will include Quique Gonzalez, Amaral, Xoel Lopez, Bunbury, Leiva, Zahara, the great Maika Makovski, Coque Malla, Iván Ferreiro, Santi Balmes (Love of Lesbian), Marc Ros (Sidonie), Amaia, Ángel Stanich, Abraham Boba (León Benavente) and Rafa Val & Alberto Cantúa (Viva Suecia) among others. What all these names have in common? All of them have played in Ibiza!
With Duncan Dhu the artist from Donosti played many times on the island between 1985 and 2016. With his solo band, only once in 2004. This time it was the most intimate of them all, because it was him alone with his guitar and because of the unique setting of the hotel. He even mentioned how beautiful it was to play next to the beach with the (almost full) moon reflecting in the sea. With a glass of wine close at hand and his cool new hat by Genis Whylan, we heard some of the many classics he wrote for Duncan Dhu and for his solo albums: "Mañana", "Veneno", "Entre salitre y sudor", "A tu lado", "Esos ojos negros", "En algún lugar", "A un minuto de ti", "Cartas de amor (cuando no hay amor)", "Cien gaviotas", "Jardín de rosas", etc. Surprise of the show came with "Agua" by Jarabe de Palo as a tribute to its singer Pau Donés, who died one year ago.
At the end he patiently had pictures taken with everybody who asked for it. Cool as f*** dude, that's for sure.
