Depedro - "Tu Mediodia": SXSW 2011 Showcasing Artist

by sxsw 15,817 views

Nubes De Papel (Paper Clouds), the second album from Spanish guitarist-singer-songwriter Jairo Zavala, is, at its heart, a series of reveries from the road. States Zavala, who has adopted the moniker of Depedro for his solo performances, "I had been touring for two years straight. I was in different cities, different hotels, different countries, yet every night I would have really, really good dreams." Dreams were a constant in the peripatetic life of this solo artist and always-in-demand sideman for such acts as Calexico and Andrew Bird, and from his dreams came these quietly intense, emotive, yearning songs. His music, balancing the traditional and the experimental, is rooted in sounds from Spain, Mexico and Latin America, yet it suggests a place all its own. The seductive landscape of Depedro is easy to enter but not on any map.

In keeping with the borderless nature of his songs, Zavala purposefully chose the name Depedro because it was both evocative and vague: "Kind of Mediterranean, kind of Spanish." His 2009 self-titled debut helped to inaugurate National Geographic's expansion into record-making, an effort that has steered clear of travelogue-style world music in favor of material that's more sophisticated and adventurous, international but not anthropological. On a personal level, Depedro was a turning point for Zavala, the culmination of years of writing and stockpiling his own songs while devoting himself to more collaborative efforts. The Madrid native had fronted Spanish rock band Vacazul and the more blues-oriented 3000 Hombres; Zavala had also written for and played with Spanish surf band Los Coronas and, most notably, Spanish singer Amparo Sanchez's brash, genre-juggling band Amparanoia. Working with Sanchez brought him to the attention of the influential, Arizona-based alt-country band Calexico, who, in 2004, offered Zavala a guitar slot for a Spanish tour and, not long after, a permanent place in its touring lineup. The band subsequently gave Zavala the use of its Tucson studio to complete Depedro, with founding member Joey Burns producing and his fellow band members sitting in.
