Ciudad Dormida

The iceberg of our mind.
Many of the things we think, feel, suffer or believe in life actually come from an abstract and completely subjective place that inhabits us: our subconscious. As if it were an iceberg, our reality is divided into two parts: the emerged, active and recognizable part for everyone to see; and the submerged, hidden and much more extensive and influential than it seems. This second part, often intangible and indecipherable, makes us who we are and do what we do; and it is precisely the object of artistic study on which Alberto Montero has focused “Ciudad dormida”, his seventh album.
Presented as an invitation to walk the streets of the musician’s subconscious, the Valencian’s new work crosses the borders between the visible and the invisible, leaving us pieces straddling the two worlds. Thus, returning to the path of the most intimate and emotional folk singer-songwriter, and thus connecting with his first works, Alberto Montero, proposes a songbook that tends towards the ethereal and allows us to understand some of the elements that make up his identity, not only artistically but also personally. Some of the main elements, in fact, unify the artist and the person: the search for his essence and the understanding of the mystery of life and the compositional process.
