MAGA RELEASES NEW SINGLE

¨Silencio¨ + 3 unedited songs
Available online 02/28/2011

The trio from Sevilla showcase their perseverance and versatility with every step: with their songs, with the songs of others (such as the tribute to Lennon in Madrid, repeated successfully in Sevilla) and with their chosen collaborations, such as those with The New Raemon, Tote King and Germán Coppini.

With the group still on the road performing ¨A la Hora del Sol¨ (the tour has filled performance halls in Madrid, Sevilla and Barcelona), they released their second single. The chosen song is the result of popular demand. A favorite live song of the public, it is RNE3`s song of the year for `Hoy empieza todo´, it was covered by The New Raemon in their last album.

Miguel Rivera, voice and main composer, describes the songs here, including three unedited songs:

1. SILENCIO:
´´The song caught on in the public from the very first concerts. We have lived very emotional moments with this song, as in the day we officially presented the song at the Sol Auditorium in Madrid, and the audience sang the song so loudly that they almost blocked out my own voice. I am also very proud that The New Raemon included a version of 'Silencio' in their recent 'Ep's reunidos'.´´

2. ROMPE EL RELOJ:
´´Recorded in July 2010 at Pancake, two sisters, with Fernando Zambruno at the technical controls. This concept was born as soon as we met in the auditorium. Live and with the most basic configuration of Maga (acoustic guitar, drums with the base), it was taken apart in no time at the pace of the writing, witness of a dawn that didn`t have to come.´´

3. CUENTA NUEVA:
´´With the same sessions at Pancake, we wanted to experiment with a type of beat we have never used, the 5/4. This beat created the atmosphere for the song and made the way for the other instruments, which also received a less conventional treatment: percussions instead of drums, distorted base only for the left loudspeaker…but something was missing that would finish the environment we wanted to achieve. We found the answer in the cello of Maite Arroitajauregi.´´

4. NUNCA DEJARÁS DE BRILLAR:
´´Recorded completely live in Sputnik during recording sessions for 'A la horadel sol' by Fabián Romero. A song that talks about the people that physically leave us, but whose magic continues to be present every day of our life until the last one.´´
