B.S.O. with Emilio Aragón EPISODE 6 : Alaska

Synopsis.

Emilio Aragón dedicates this new installment of BSO to a unique woman, Alaska, with whom he has many things in common. They arrived in Spain at the same time, in 1973, and they are both sons of Cuban and Spanish parents.

With Alaska we want to reflect the passage of time, a career so fruitful, adapted to each era, without losing an iota of such a special personality. An artist capable of recycling herself, a restlessness to know beyond what was within her reach and how music influenced her from a very young age, in her native Mexico. A pioneer in a gray Spain, which she filled with color.

Alaska will review her life, inevitably marked by music. We will learn about her childhood in Mexico, her arrival in Madrid, her walks with her mother along the Gran Vía and the Madrid flea market that made her discover so many of the things that would later become her life. We will know how to listen to Bowie’s Heroes for the first time, taste a Cuban sandwich and what exactly La Movida madrileña meant.

In a recreation of her own living room, Alaska gives us the keys to her life and her songs, which will be interpreted by Amaral, Sole Giménez, Ariel Rot, David Summers, Andrea Motis, Leonor Watling and Emilio Aragón himself. In addition, the latter will once again play the role of Bebo San Juan to sing to Olvido, a Bolero de salón.

B.S.O. with Emilio Aragón EPISODE 7 : Dani Rovira

Synopsis.

Dani Rovira’s favorite movie is Big Fish and it has marked him in all aspects of his life. He considers that he has a minstrel spirit and that he is a storyteller, that he is a storyteller and hence the importance of this film for him. The BSO set thus becomes a Big Fish. With a fair in a clearing in a forest as in the film. With its circus characters, the tree with the wooden slats, the boots and an entrance to a very spectacular circus tent. All very magical and fantasy of Tim Burton. Emilio will talk with him about his career, his beginnings, his success, his illness, his philosophy of life and his commitment to helping others and especially animals.

The comedian tells how storytelling made him very happy and how the influence that Emilio Aragón himself, for whom he feels a deep admiration, Pepe Rubianes or Faemino y Cansado had on him, made him decide for comedy. “You would have to wear a white coat”, a girl once told him when he came out to see him act, and that’s when he understood that it was a very necessary profession. He explains how the muses come to him on stage and his best moments have come from improvising.

We will know how this comedian was discovered in the theater by a well-known casting director and got the role of his life in 8 apellidos vascos.

All these anecdotes of life will be told with Dani’s favorite songs as a common thread. From Pau Donés and Silvio Rodriguez to Triana, Manuel Carrasco or the French Noir Desír. And they will be interpreted by Manolo García, the group Elefantes, Conchita and Alba Molina.

In addition, we will see Dani singing by Miguel Ríos, the one his father likes so much and picking up the message of Bebo San Juan, when he sings “Sácale la lengua” referring to something we should all do at times like the ones we are living.

The BSO dedicated to the comedian is a hymn to life. There will be no lack of emotion, but without losing the humor, the main characteristic of two of our best comedians together. Emilio and Dani feel mutual admiration for each other and it shows in this very special dialogue.

B.S.O. with Emilio Aragón EPISODE 8 : Lolita

Synopsis

The program will be structured like the verses of the song Mediterráneo by Serrat, Lolita’s favorite song and with which she will delight us singing. They will deal with her childhood and what it is like to belong to a family saga of artists. What it means to be the daughter of Lola Flores and grow up under her skirts and her art. Her beginnings in singing, her first tours, her work as an actress, her passion for theater and life with the Flores FAMILY, with “normal” parents in her day to day life, her relationship with her siblings and her children. They will talk about their father, El Pescaílla, how he was the musician par excellence of the family and how the three brothers have drunk from his musical essence. His influence has led him to sing boleros as he sang them.

With Amor, amor he had the great success of his musical career, which began when he was a minor. He opened for Camilo Sesto and Miguel Bosé. She toured the whole of America and the Miami Sound Machine itself, with Gloria Estefan, heeled her.

The songs of heartbreak and in particular the boleros, are the ones she likes the most. We will know how important Serrat is for her and what other songs made her vibrate in her youth. How Sade reminds her of her sister Rosario or how her brother Antonio “musically introduced” her to many artists and a “noviete” to Cindy Lauper.

These two international artists will be versioned as part of Lolita’s soundtrack, along with Camarón, Armando Manzanero, Paco Ortega and Isabel Montero, Serrat or her own mother.

We will discover a new facet of Lolita, painting, and she will show it to us in a precious moment, while Rozalén sings, who, together with Anni B. Sweet, María Pelae, Alice Wonder, Fuel Fandango and Israel Fernández, will sing her favorite songs.

Lolita thanks Emilio for making a music program, so she can make MUSIC.

They will put the finishing touch with Bebo San Juan giving her “Canta hasta que te duela la garganta”, which talks about what we should all do, every day, sing and dance, “that makes your soul happy”. They will sing this song together and close with all the artists together around the piano singing and dancing in a very flamenco finale.
