Staying in Spain this week, as promised. Again, from Al Radio Encendida 2025 – the 11 hour extravaganza of Contemporary Spanish music, bringing in a sampling of Indie, Singer-Songwriter – Hip-Hop and New Folk under one roof and broadcasting it all live from the stage by RNE Radio 3.
Tonight it’s a set from La Tania, recorded on March 23rd of this year. An intriguing blending of traditional Flamenco, New-Folk, Indie and Hip-Hop in this 28 minute set.
To get a better idea of the music of La Tania and her story, I ran across this great article from the Spanish website Highxtar, published this past January 24 and written by Mar Piera.
Here’s a taste:
In a meteoric rise in just 6 months from her collaboration in ‘Por Qué Será’ with Rita Payés where she discovered the sweetness of her voice, to being nominated for ‘Best Original Song’ in the next Goya Awards 2025 for ‘Los Almendros’. La Tania, one of the most promising artists in music, discovers a unique LP made up of 8 magnetic works full of experiences, secrets and passion. An album that draws from the copla, its interpretation and the sounds of today, created in close collaboration with great artists such as C. Tangana, Yerai Cortés and Nussar 3000.
This album is the result of a search, a vital journey and a relationship, where La Tania has explored new sounds and experimented with different styles without losing the essence that characterises her. From her debut with ‘AWITA’, the first single that started this love story, to ‘QUERELES’ filmed in the streets of Benidorm by Plaza by Little Spain, under the direction of Latin Grammy winner Rogelio González. And with a third advance ‘BESITOS DE OTRO’ whose acoustic premiere through Gallery Sessions – one of the most respected and well-known visual formats today – exuded beauty and energy.
With the release of ‘LOS ALMENDROS’ – one of the hypnotic works of the documentary under the direction of Antón Alvarez, ‘La Guitarra Flamenca de Yerai Cortés’, also nominated for the Goya Award 2025 in the category ‘Best Documentary Film’ – performed by La Tania together with the virtuoso guitar of Yerai Cortés, many have already been captivated by the artist. Add to this success the announcement of the nomination for the Goya Awards 2025 in the category ‘Best Original Song’. It is now time to see all these chapters of love in full, a story with a beginning and an end, full of seduction and frankness in AMORIOS. THE TRUTH OF MY COUPLET
‘The journey of the album covers a year and a half of my life. After a disappointment with love, I went to live in Paris. There I discovered and internalised other melodies and other styles in a natural way. I don’t want to categorise them, because I don’t need to: this album has been a liberation for me,’ says La Tania.
While La Tania has already seduced both the public and the critics and media with her lyrical depth and the purity of her voice, the artist from Alicante shows a final touch in ‘MONIGOTE’, the last episode of her story that arrives with force under the production of Nussar 3000, explaining the conflict that vertebrates the whole album. Accompanied by an iconic vide
