Cabaret, Songs and return to Spanish memory

Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd

Canciones Del Mercado Negro concepto:

 

After living so many years in Berlin, Promis decided to write an original album of songs in his native Spanish, as a natural attempt to reconnect with his birth culture, and to fuse together the memories of Chilean folkloric music from his youth, with fantasies of Berlin cabaret, French chanson and 1970s pop. This album, which was recorded in Chile, is his 13th overall, and his first since his last English album, 2021’s Promises.
