A couple years after a celebrated tour with Joan Manuel Serrat found him criss-crossing the Spanish-language world, Joaquín Sabina emerged from a creative rut and released Vinagre y Rosas, his liveliest album since the latter-day classic 19 Días y 500 Noches (1999) a decade earlier. In the opinion of many fans, the musical output of Sabina was never quite up to par after he suffered a stroke in 2001 and, shaken by his brush with death, made some lifestyle changes. The two albums he released in the aftermath of his stroke, Dímelo en la Calle (2002) and Alivio de Luto (2005), sold well enough but failed to measure up to the high standards of his past work, in particular 19 Días y 500 Noches, which was seen by some as the grand culmination of his hard-living ways. Moreover, Sabina became something of a hermit after his stroke, living abroad and going years without releasing new material, and so insatiable fans were fed a series of stopgap releases including the compilations Todos Hablan de Ti (2004), Punto... (2006), and ...Y Seguido (2006), plus a couple DVDs. The well-received tour with Serrat was a step in the direction of a comeback for Sabina, who was at least back in the public eye, active once again as a performer, and showing signs of vigor. After the tour wrapped up, Sabina went about writing his next album. He worked with longtime collaborators Antonio García de Diego and Pancho Varona, plus poet Benjamín Prado, but perhaps more importantly, he sought out a young rock band that could give him some spark and liven up his music a bit. The band he found was Pereza, a chart-topping duo from Madrid comprised of Rubén (born Rubén Pozo Prats) and Leiva (born José Miguel Conejo Torres). They're credited with writing a couple songs on Vinagre y Rosas, including the standout lead single, "Tiramisú de Limón," one of several songs on the album graced with blasts of electric guitar. This being a Sabina album, however, Vinagre y Rosas is first and foremost a singer/songwriter effort rather than an exercise in cutting-edge rock. The lyrics are indeed rich and open to interpretation; fans of Sabina's writing shouldn't be disappointed. Still, it's the musical punch of Vinagre y Rosas that is most impressive. In addition to the rock leanings (in full flight on a couple songs, the bracing "Crisis" in particular), which make Sabina sound more alive than he has since 19 Días y 500 Noches, there are touches of jazz on Vinagre y Rosas ("Nombres Impropios") and traces of Latin America (the bonus track cover version of Chilean poet Violeta Parra's "Violetas Para Violeta"). The full-band backing subsides every few songs, giving way to spare highlights that include "Ay! Carmela," "Vinagre y Rosas" (featuring the late Argentine singer Mercedes Sosa on harmony vocals), and "Blues del Alambique." ---Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

Following 2007's successful Dos Pájaros de un Tiro joint tour, rock en español poet Joaquín Sabina and Catalan singer/songwriter Joan Manuel Serrat now team up for their first studio effort, La Orquesta del Titanic. Having drawn parallels with the group of musicians who played on while the iconic ship was sinking and the pair continuing to perform during the current economic crisis, you might expect that its 11 tracks attempt to put the world to rights. But there's little in the way of any clear social or political messages on a record that, at times, evokes a drunken knees-up, particularly on the debauched "Quince o Veinte Copas," which ends with a bizarre flurry of kazoos and indecipherable mutterings, and the triumphant lock-in singalong of "Idiotas, Palizas y Calientabraguetas." Even on the more sobering affairs, such as the country-tinged "Acuérdate de Mi" and the fingerpicking acoustic balladry of "Hoy por Ti, Manana por Mí," they appear far more concerned with romance than any rallying call to arms. But while the duo often seems to be having more fun than the listener, there are several moments worthy of sitting alongside the best of the two artists' respective back catalogs, from the Christmas carol lullaby of "Canción de Navidad" to the gentle jazz shuffle of the title track to the emotive bossa nova of "Martínez." La Orquesta del Titanic may not live up to Serrat & Sabina's usual standards but, overall, it's hard to resist the pair's old-school charms. ---Jon O'Brien, Rovi

Los cantautores españoles Joan Manuel Serrat y Joaquín Sabina presentan su nuevo trabajo, "La orquesta del Titanic", que saldrá a la venta el 7 de febrero e incluirá una gira por toda Latinoamérica y España, que comenzará el 5 de marzo en la provincia de Salta.

El nuevo trabajo ofrece un material inédito con 11 canciones firmadas por Serrat y Sabina. Producido por Javier Limón, el disco se formó con músicos diferentes a los que habitualmente están en la banda. Como plus, contó con las participaciones especiales de Alejandro Sanz, Antonio Carmona y David Trueba.

"Yo cansado, tú perdida, nos curamos las heridas con ají. Si caminas, yo te sigo; si te cansas, hago un nido en el arcén. En tus sueños me desvelo, con tus alas alzo el vuelo; tú, la flor; yo, el colibrí. Si estás triste, yo te invento cuatro caricias y un cuento", canta Joan Manuel Serrat. Y Joaquín Sabina continúa: "Ni te tiro de las riendas, ni me piro con las prendas que ofrecí. No me mientas que te creo, por las cuentas del deseo muere el pez". Es el comienzo de "Hoy por ti, mañana por mí", la canción elegida como principal carta de presentación.

Este tema es una de las grandes y más emocionadas canciones del álbum, que se sostiene sobre una excelente base instrumental, con un estupendo balance rítmico y una letra de gran altura poética, que adelanta lo que será el álbum en el que han unido sus fuerzas Joan Manuel Serrat y Joaquín Sabina. "Yo tenía cuatro versos desde hace mil años de los que nunca pude hacer una canción, que era 'La Orquesta del Titanic', porque me gustaba la idea de que los músicos seguían tocando mientras se hundía todo", explica Sabina.

"Cuando empecé con éste (Serrat), pensé que era una metáfora de la crisis que está cayendo fantástica. Nosotros salimos de gira a divertirnos y a pasarlo bien y el mundo se hunde", concluyó. --- .lt24online.com.ar
