Joaquin Sabina Essentials

Joaquin Sabina Essentials

Joaquín Sabina's revolutionary stance forced him into exile from Spain in the ‘70s—but it also stoked his creative fires. The iconoclast's lush trova reveals his ideals and explores the depths of human emotion; the lyrics of “Calle Melancolía” hum with poignant imagery and wistful political commentary atop gentle arpeggios and pattering congas. Through the decades, Sabina has continued to develop his craft, dipping into blues rock (“Por el Bulevar de los Sueños Rotos”) and pan-Latin styles (“Y Nos Dieron las Diez”), delivered in a voice that grows richer and more textured with time.
