After decades exploring styles as diverse as rock, Cuban son, rhythm and blues, and jazz, Auserón has decided to turn his attention toward the eastern Mediterranean. In this new venture, he will be joined by Greek musicians Vaggelis Tzeretas and Theodoros Karellas, with whom he has developed a repertoire that combines original compositions, popular songs, and 20th-century classics.
The concert will also feature a well-known name in Spanish music: Anni B Sweet, who is collaborating on the project with Alborada en tono menor, a Spanish adaptation of the Greek song To minore tis afyís. Her participation adds a new attraction to a proposal through which Auserón continues to demonstrate his interest in discovering and reinterpreting other musical traditions.
FROM RADIO FUTURA TO THE SOUNDS OF GREECE
Nerantzi emerged from the Zaragoza artist’s collaboration with two musicians connected to Greek tradition. On the one hand, Vaggelis Tzeretas, originally from the island of Samos, is a specialist in the bouzouki, one of the most characteristic instruments of Greek popular music. On the other, Theodoros Karellas is a baritone singer and guitarist associated with contemporary rebetiko and modern Greek song.
The project was recorded at 133 Studios in Athens and brings together original songs with adaptations of traditional pieces, Mediterranean ballads, and rebetiko tracks, a popular Greek musical genre. Auserón has translated part of this repertoire into Spanish, seeking to build bridges between two cultures that share a long history of musical exchanges.
The performance comes at a particularly significant moment in his career. The musician has received distinctions including the 2011 National Award for Current Music, the 2022 Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts, and the 2025 Aragonese Literature Award.
