We have Rosalía a little bit missing. Which makes us happy. Either because she is focused on her well-being and on her longer-term projects – such as the construction of her own production studio in Barcelona – or because she is precisely already designing the concept of her own album. Whatever has her least active on networks, she leaves us traces and signals that we receive with great enthusiasm.
For the most loyal fans, Rosalía has a WhatsApp channel where she sometimes leaves audios, stickers, photographs or random messages. Recently, she told us that she was obsessed with a song and couldn’t stop listening to it. In several audios he explains this to us: “The other day my friends taught me a topic… I’ve been remembering the topic for weeks, it’s like it’s stuck in my mind”.
“Do you know how typical it is when you get hooked on a topic? Well, the topic goes like this: canyon life”continues the artist.
And he proceeds to sing us a little piece of a song with these lyrics: “Comb for my girl and a shawl, seat in the theater, life cannon.”
Apparently it is his new life mantra: “Well, that’s what it’s about, life, the cannon life, so when something good happens to me, or I’m enjoying something, I say the cannon life.”
With a quick Google search we found that the lyrics are from the song “La vida canyon”, by the Madrid group Alcala Northwho recently played at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and who They come stomping.
Who are they?
It is a group with 6 members initially formed by three lifelong friends from the Madrid neighborhood of Ciudad LinealIn fact, its name is inspired by a shopping center in that area. They started writing songs in 2019, but it wasn’t until this year that they started to sound louder.
Apart from Primavera Sound, they will also be at other festivals such as BBK Live in Bilbao in July, and from September they will begin filming their own tour.
With the publication of their first album, Alcalá Norte, homonymous to the group’s name, they are taking their first leap and debuting with csongs that remind us of the style of the Madrid Movida.
The band is made up of Jaime Barbosa (drums), Álvaro Rivas (vocals), Juampi (guitar), Pablo Mendoza (guitar), Pablo ‘Admin’ (bass) and Laura de Diego (keyboards).
In the magazine ‘Free Rocking’ they explain to us that their influences draw from 80s punk rock or Britpop (such as Oasis or Blur), as well as disparate references such as The Cure, Goethe or the urban planner Arturo Soria.
Maybe a clue that helps us understand the connection Rosalía and Alcalá Norte is that Pili, the singer’s sister, is the partner of Carolina Durante’s singer, Diego Ibáñez, and he, at the same time, includes the new group in an event for emerging bands.
