Asturias is a natural paradise, but also musical. It has its own melody and a growing pull as a center for the production of records and videos. More and more artists arrive at its recording studios attracted by a high quality of life and an ideal environment to create and enjoy free time. The singer Alejandro Sanz is one of the stars who has succumbed to the beauty of the Principality’s landscapes to shoot the video for his song “The Deal”. The region resonated a lot with Victor Manuel, melendi either Tino Casalbut continues to export talent with figures such as Rodrigo Cuevas, which innovates from tradition. the piper Jose Angel Hevia took the bagpipe to universal heights and pop-rock groups like “Australian Blonde” and “Morpheus’s dream” they put a soundtrack to an era and sold thousands of records.
The initiative “Pride is written with H” of the technology company HONOR Y Iberian Press, a magnificent promotional campaign for Asturias in all the newspapers of the group to which this newspaper belongs, continues to dismantle baseless topics that circulate about different regions. And no one better than David Feito and Juan Luis Suarezmembers of “The Dream of Morpheus”, to knock down the false belief that Asturian music no longer sounds. “There are many new artists who are hitting very hard and if they are not at the top right now, they will soon arrive.” They assure it, that in 2003 they founded with the Canarian singer Raquel del Rosario a band that triumphed inside and outside our country, even representing Spain in Eurovision (2013) with the operations center always anchored in Asturias.
“We have the privilege of having the sea, the mountains, delicious food and an incredible quality of life. That’s why more and more artists come. Recording in Madrid is not the same, where you have to go to 2,000… Here you come to compose, to work and then to enjoy the peace and quality of life”, says Juan Luis. “We are very clear that the quality of life in Asturias is not easy to find in the rest of Spain or abroad, and we have been to many places in the world”, adds David.
new musical times
The group succeeded mixing traditional sounds with pop, but maintains that “you have to be true to yourself because in the end the songs are the ones that rule.” Their fans dream of seeing them together on stage again. They continue to be linked to the musical and audiovisual world, and precisely for this reason they are fully aware that times are changing. “Before it was more difficult to make yourself known, but once a multinational signed you, you knew that if you did it right it would work. Now that support does not guarantee success,” says David Feito. “Young musicians have many facilities to make themselves known, although succeeding is indeed difficult,” adds Juan Luis Suárez. They achieved it by showing that thousands of records can be sold from Asturias and played all over the world.
