Elefantes gives a “magical” evening at El Corte Inglés in Sagasta to present their new album

It seems like only yesterday that four young men from Barcelona introduced themselves to the world, excited and eager to make a place for themselves in Spain’s pop-rock scene. Almost without realizing it, more than three decades have passed, during which they have released albums and singles and embarked on tours that have taken their music to every corner of the country, reaching an audience that never abandoned them, not even during their seven-year hiatus. They remain, and will continue to remain, firmly at the forefront. This Friday, Elefantes presented their new album “Para todos” at the Club del Gourmet at El Corte Inglés in Sagasta with an evening that can only be described as magical.

Before picking up their guitars and stepping behind the microphones, Elefantes wanted to thank their fans in Zaragoza for the enduring affection they receive every day. Dozens of followers lined up on the sixth floor of El Corte Inglés de Sagasta, hoping their idols would sign their new album "Para todos". But the group still had one more surprise in store. Ten people had the chance to enjoy a private tasting and an intimate showcase in which Elefantes performed, for the first time and exclusively, some of their new songs.

This event, organized by El Corte Inglés, allowed ten lucky attendees to enjoy not only Elefantes' new music, but also a pairing with products from the Club del Gourmet. "It seems unbelievable that after more than thirty years we still feel this excitement and enthusiasm, and much of that is thanks to you. So we are deeply grateful and hope you enjoy what we have prepared tonight," the band said before beginning the evening.

A "GOURMET" MENU OF PRODUCTS AND SONGS FOR ATTENDEES

Elefantes prepared a genuine "gourmet" menu for attendees, moving from their most popular anthems to some of the songs featured on the "Para todos" project. The night got off to a flying start with an opening section called "Welcome and origins," in which Elefantes performed their classic "Azul" (sung along to by everyone present) and "Quién eres tú," the song that closes their new album.

Amid wine, cheese, olives and other El Corte Inglés specialties, Elefantes continued their intimate showcase with the second section, "Maturity and acceptance," performing "No me arrepiento" and "Todo se está yendo"; the third section, "Introspection and emotion," with "Estado 03" and "Solo mirar"; and finally bringing the evening to a close with the last section, "Closure and refuge," and the songs "Te quiero" and "Que yo no lo sabía".

Between chords and flavors, Elefantes once again showed that, after more than thirty years of performing, their music still has—and will always have—the power to bring audiences to a table in silence to listen to songs that are part of our lives.
