Since David Bisbal (Almeria, 1979) began his career in 2002, just after the first Operation Triumph, Latin music, which is standardized throughout the world, has gone through different stages. “My first two albums were very Latin, with metal, because at that time it was what it sounded,” recalls the musician, who later moved to a “more guitarist pop”, with albums like Premonición (2006) or Sin mirar atrás (2009) ), and continued with a more acoustic stage, in which he recorded live at the Teatro Real in Madrid (2011) and at the Royal Albert Hall in London (2012).

‘Despacito’, the first song in Spanish that is number 1 in the USA from ‘Macarena’
“Today, Latin is more electronic,” he says about the new global trend in which subgenres are introduced, sometimes in countries with little heat. “It is very strong to think that the tropical house comes from Sweden,” reflects on a style that has included in the song that gives name to his latest album, Hijos del mar (Universal Music, 2016). An album for whose composition was surrounded by international musicians in several countries.
“There are Latin festivals around the world, and that gives you a lot of joy,” says the singer, glad that a song in Spanish as Despacito, his “friend and friend” Luis Fonsi, reached last week number one on the list of the US Billboard, something that did not happen since Macarena, Los del Rio, got it in 1996. Bisbal himself will perform in July – as part of the tour that begins next June 2 in Almeria – next to Juan Luis Guerra, Juanes and Sebastian Yatra at the Hola London! Music festival at the O2 Arena in London. “Latin music is at a strong moment,” says Bisbal, who on his album tried to “get close to the current line keeping the essence.” So he embarked on a journey that took him to Sweden, England or the United States (Nashville, Los Angeles, Miami), where he composed the songs with artists and producers such as the Swedish Glen Eriksson and Martin Wiik and the Frenchman Jeeves, winner of two grammys; although also collaborated with Spanish artists: Vega, Pablo López and Antonio Orozco. “I was able to nurture musicians who are very well positioned on the international scene.”
Bisbal has lent his voice with the Argentine singer Tini Stoessel for Todo es posible, the main theme of Tadeo Jones 2. The secret of King Midas, a film that will be released on August 25 in Spain. “It’s a very positive song, that all the things you have in mind can be realized, you just have to visualize them to get them. I composed it with Toni Nilsson in Sweden, at one of our composition stops for Hijos del Mar “.
The former opponent of Operation Triumph, who was named Unicef ambassador last April, also wanted to leave a tip for Manel Navarro, the much-criticized representative of Spain in Eurovision 2017, who was last in place for his sony rooster: “In the face of criticism “I would encourage him to keep fighting and working for his dreams,” said Bisbal, who already attended the contest in 2002 as part of the project. Rosa Lopez’s choir. “Eurovision is a boost for new artists, it’s a golden opportunity. For example, Julio Iglesias was starting when he represented Spain, and almost all the singers who historically have participated sought that opportunity. It’s nice to start with that dream, “reflected Bisbal, although he says he would not participate again in the contest.
