“Revolución” is one of the most direct pieces on Músicas Semilla, the new album by Barcelona-based quartet Evoéh. The track sets a poem by Spanish writer León Felipe, reflecting on the limits of political change without inner transformation. His text rejects slogans and historical cycles, calling instead for personal responsibility as the foundation for collective change.
The arrangement is acoustic and unembellished: Spanish guitar, piano, and double bass frame Ariana Barrabés’ vocal line. The performance prioritises clarity and control, allowing the poem to remain central to the piece.
Evoéh, formed by Barrabés and guitarist-composer Jesús Olivares, now includes Nabil Naïr (piano, ney, clarinet) and José Borjas (double bass). The group works with Iberian and Mediterranean materials—historical poetry, oral traditions, and modal frameworks—without relying on fixed interpretations.
The album title, Músicas Semilla (“Seed Music”), reflects this approach: drawing from rooted sources that are able to travel, adapt, and regenerate. “Revolución” follows that logic: built from archival text, structured through contemporary arrangement, and positioned within a broader, evolving musical conversation.
