The pianist and composer Marco Mezquida presents in the Jerónimo Saavedra Hall of the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, as part of the 35th International Canarias Jazz&más Festival, his new work 'TÁCTIL'. This album continues the path begun with 'Ravel’s Dreams', a tribute to the composer Maurice Ravel, followed by 'Talismán' in 2020 and 'Letter to Milos' in 2022. With TÁCTIL, Marco Mezquida, Aleix Tobías and Martín Meléndez reach a sonic maturity where touch, sensitivity and life itself become musical substance. A shared publication by Marco Mezquida Mateos 'TÁCTIL' is born from a fundamental desire: to recover the tactile dimension of musical expression. In a world where sound seems immaterial and destined to vanish as soon as it is created, Mezquida reminds us that music is also a matter of skin, vibration and contact. Music takes shape through physical gestures: the struck piano, the plucked or bowed strings, the membranes caressed or struck. Ten years of shared experience have forged this trio into a unique entity, a musical being with a common, deep and full voice. 'TÁCTIL' is a declaration of love for life, for skin, for sound and for all people. A work born both from the brightest joy and the deepest sadness. “I have never loved so much. I have never cried so much inside. I have never lived with such intensity,” Mezquida writes. With this album, he offers a vibrant testimony of brotherhood, light and shared emotion. This new album is also imbued with the complexities of the contemporary world. In his notes, Marco Mezquida addresses the atrocities and injustices of recent years, particularly the violence perpetrated against the Palestinian people in Gaza. “A part of me dies every day,” he writes, shaken by the images and by his powerlessness in the face of the suffering of the civilian population. He dedicates the album to them, to their dignity, to their longed-for freedom. Faced with so much pain, music has become a refuge, a driving force and a vital necessity.
