More than forty years ago, Amancio Prada (vocals and guitar) recorded his first album, Vida e Morte (1974). That album is the origin of everything that came after.

The musical career of Amancio Prada (Dehesas del Bierzo, 1949) as a composer and performer has always had a literary basis that throughout his discography has been shaping an anthological journey through the peninsular lyric, from the songs of the first Galician-Portuguese trovadores, passing through the songbook of authors such as Juan del Enzina or Jorge Manrique, to contemporary authors such as Federico García Lorca, Juan Ramón Jiménez or Carmen Martín Gaite, among others.

He has received the Castelao de Galicia Medal (1995), the Castilla y León de las Artes prize (2005), the Grand Prix du Répertoire Sacem (2008), the Tenco prize (2010) and the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts (2011), among other awards.

With his latest work Amancio Prada presents us a meeting and revelation of the traces and voices that beat in his own singing and that are weaving the thread of his life as an artist. From the dreams of Rosalía de Castro, San Juan de la Cruz or Federico García Lorca, through those of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, Álvaro Cunqueiro, María Zambrano, Agustín García Calvo, Chicho Sánchez Ferlosio, Léo Ferre or Juan Carlos Mestre, to their own.

The concert will also include traditional and anonymous compositions that have transcended from word of mouth and generation to generation.

Poets -different and distant- linked by a song that is more than harmony and word: the living imprint of his memory in the lit voice of the solitary bird that continues to be Amancio Prada.
