#12: The Story of Belvès with Pablo Burgués
Description
BALG starts off the new year with an episode like a vaccine shot full of pop hooks! This episode is a bit different than the others, more like something of an audio documentary telling the story of Belvès, a folk pop duo consisting of Pablo Burgués and yours truly, who by chance met in Cuba in 2005. It’s a story about exploring the world, the beauty of creating music and the ups and downs of an intense long distance band relationship. Pablo and I talk about riding through Cuba on rusty bicycles, getting robbed on the Mexico City metro, playing on kids’ birthday parties, listening to an entire school class covering one of our songs, recording marimbas in Guatemala, and crazy part-time band members. The story of Belvès is a story of hope and friendship. Isn't that just what we all need in 2021?
