Christina Rosenvinge

Christina Rosenvinge is a Spanish composer and performer of Danish origin who often defines herself as an electric singer-songwriter. One of the most important Spanish voices of her generation, Christina has spent the last forty years displaying creative freedom, passion, talent and courage. Since launching her career in the early eighties, Christina has not stopped. Her accomplishments include the most diverse projects: over ten studio albums, including the Premio Nacional de las Músicas Actuales for Un hombre Rubio (2018); the book Debut, in which she compiles 26 years of lyrics, texts and an essay in which she connects music and literature; the leading role and composition of the soundtrack for Karen, the film that tells the story of Karen Blixen; and, as musical director, composer and performer, her work on the play SAFO, which received excellent reviews. And now with Los Versos Sáficos, she brings back and updates the verses, emotion and wit of Greek poet Sappho using contemporary pop, with a spectrum of sounds ranging from traditional Mediterranean to electronic.
