Christina Rosenvinge: "I have written songs that in the first stanza I was thinking of a man and the last one was already another"

This trip began to take a year earlier.In October 2018 I asked for an interview with Christina Rosenvinge.The National Popular Music Award had just awarded him, the same recognition that Joan Manuel Serrat inaugurated and have received Luz Casal, Santiago Auserón or Amaral.Before, in March, with the departure of his album a blond man began a tour that has taken her in Spain and Latin America, and continues.He overlapted a year later with the publication of his first book, debut, a "literary artifact" in the words of the poet and critic Antonio Lucas, in which he brings together his lyrics, memories and reflections on the trade of writing songs.Since then, he has been combining concerts and presentations, alternating scenarios and bookstores, stopping in his floor in Madrid of the Austrias just to undo and rebuild the suitcase.For infinite avatars, until that night Toledo did not have the first paragraph of this report.It may not like Christina Rosenvinge..

The weeks spend and I keep exchanging messages with Christina's office.I also try to close the report with Random House literature, the publishing house that publishes at the beginning of spring debut.The proposal is on the table, they confirm me, it's a matter of finding a hole.Promotional interviews occur in Sundays, newspapers and musical media, but ours does not take place.Something makes me think there is an obstacle.I discover it on April 29, gathered on the birthday of a common friend, feminist writer and monologuist Isa Calderón.Ignoring that I am also there, in a Corrillo he shares the doubts that causes him to appear in Vanity Fair, a publication that will go beyond his musical facet.

Christina Rosenvinge:

Aware of my interest, our host is moving to its guests in a dance that ends up matching us.Broken the loop of the eternal presentations, we talk about everything a little and commented on my favorite debut passage: his eldest son ruins his chances of access to an exclusive children's school in New York when instead of pointing out the colors of the rainbow, amucus and exclaims: "purple".We laugh.I ask him if Willem, now a twenty blonde hair that exceeds 1.90, has continued working as a model.No, that his campaign for Paco Pintón in 2017 was something punctual, which is absorbed by architecture and lives in a student floor in Toledo."In two weeks I play with my children at the end of the course, do you want to come?"
