Xarim Aresté (Flix, 1983) is still in a state of grace and now completes the fascinating trilogy of the Ribera d'Ebre blues with Cross stitch (RGB, 2026). It maintains the connection with the almost jazzy freedom of Her insides (2022) and A new language (2024)While recapturing the Xarim Aresté guitarist of years past in a collection of "essential" and moving songs, as if he were whispering them in your ear. And once again, he stirs emotions with poetry that pursues "the intuition of a truth." "Where my love reaches, I have never reached," he sings at the beginning of the album. The live tour already has its first dates: March 22nd at the Bescanó Theatre, March 27th at La [2] del Apolo in Barcelona, ​​as part of the Huellas Festival, and April 11th at El Torín in Olot.
