Hoy hablamos del tema Comunión de Señor Chinarro, la banda de rock indie del sevillano Antonio Luque. La canción pertenece a su disco Cal Viva, publicado en abril de este año.
As the story goes, Antonio was one day looking at some old family photos and he came across a picture of his First Communion. The sacrament of la Primera Comunión is a ceremony often carried out collectively, so in the photo he could see not only himself but many of his schoolmates, too.
This takes our singer into a bittersweet trip through memory lane. As he reminisces about his childhood friends and wonders whatever happened to Consuelo, Amparo, María del Mar or that big crush who for some reason is not in the picture, a song starts taking shape in his head. It will be a melancholy rumination, very much in the Chinarro vein, on the passage of time, loss, oblivion and possibly the ultimate futility of life.
Para el episodio hemos invitado a mi prima Martina, que en el momento de la grabación está a punto de hacer su Primera Comunión. Martina nos habla sobre el significado, a su entender, de este importante evento en la vida de los niños españoles.
