«Si, como en la Antigüedad, los escritores fueran aquellos hombres sabios a los que acudíamos para iluminarnos sobre los arcanos de la vida, abuenseguro habría colas de peregrinos en la calle de Barcelona donde habita Jordi Soler».--Xavi Ayén, La Vanguardia
Y las cantó con esa misma voz que yo oía con devoción cuando era un niño, con esa bendita voz que tantas veces nos ha puesto la carne de gallina. Parece una tontería, pero pensé ¡es Serrat!».
Jordi Soler recibió un mensaje de Joan Manuel Serrat en el que le hablaba de un pájaro de plumaje esponjado y nombre imposible que el novelista menciona en una de sus ficciones. ¿Es real o imaginado?, le pregunta el compositor. Es imaginado, confirma el autor. Y Serrat le propone inventar juntos una canción sobre él, de ambiente selvático y llena de color.
Este libro narra la increíble historia del proceso de escritura colaborativa, y, sobre todo, cómo se consolida una amistad a través de la literatura. Aquí están los temores del escritor, el vértigo ante la aventura junto a un músico que es un referente sentimental no solo para él sino para varias generaciones en España y América Latina. Pero también encontramos la generosidad del músico que pone su sabiduría al servicio de una obra conjunta. Y uno se cree es un relato honesto, revelador y lleno de humor sobre el arte de crear, y también la historia de una canción que nunca llegó a ser.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The adventure of writing a four-handed song with a contemporary genius in Spanish music: Joan Manuel Serrat.
"And he sang with that same voice I heard as a child, with that blessed voice that gave us goosebumps so many times. It seems silly, but I thought: He is Serrat!"
Jordi Soler wrote a message to Joan Manuel Serrat telling him of a bird with fluffy plumage and an impossible name that the novelist mentioned in one of his fictions. "Is it real or imaginary?" asks the composer. "It is imaginary" confirms the author. And Serrat suggests they come up with a song about it, with a jungle atmosphere and full of color.
This book tells the incredible story of the collaborative process to write it, and above all, of how a friendship strengthens through literature. Here are the writer's fears, the vertigo of beginning an adventure next to a musician who is an emotional reference not only to him, but to several generations in Spain and Latin America. We also find the generosity of a musician who put his wisdom at the service of a joint work of art.
