Carey is the project of Aarön Sáez, writer and member of Varry Brava (among other eclectic musical projects), and Antonio Turro, producer, teacher, and classical guitarist.
The group honors the habaneras, a nearly extinct musical genre, with roots shared between Spain and Cuba, that survives in festivals across Spain, and also in bars, in the throats of old sea dogs who take their last sip of melancholy before asking for the check or losing their minds.
Carey's intention with their new work is a genre of hybrid, traveling music whose origins date back to the mid-19th century, with a taste of delicate sonic fusion where Europe, Africa, and America share the table, seasoned with a touch of the avant-garde to breathe fresh, renewing air into a music that has remained gathering dust in a corner unjustly relegated to oblivion.
Listen
Juan Luis Potosí is a Mexican artist based in San Miguel de Allende. His work is a constant exploration of materials and volumes that inspire reflections on time and memory in the viewer. In his gallery at Fábrica Aurora, you can find unique and distinctive sculptures. He currently works with materials recovered from construction sites, creating expressive and one-of-a-kind characters that are featured in exhibitions and private collections worldwide.
Sunday's April 6 concert will start with an intimate conversation between Juan Luis and Aaron talking about their respective Art and what it means to them. Not to be missed!

NEW ALBUM: LA CASA ROSA
With their new work, Carey aims to revisit a genre of traveling, cross-cultural music whose origins date back to the mid-19th century. A delicate fusion where Europe, Africa, and the Americas share the same table, subtly seasoned with a touch of modernity to breathe fresh life into a musical style that has long been left gathering dust in an unjustly forgotten corner.
The album features 10 songs, including new compositions and carefully crafted versions produced by a modern music band. It was recorded in Cuba with true rhythm virtuosos such as Pancho Amat (the legendary Cuban tres player), Miguel Núñez on piano, the winds of Havana D' Primera, and the percussion of master Adel González.
All of this comes together with a sound indebted to great figures like Santiago Auserón and a passion for the genre akin to Alejo Carpentier, who was so devoted that he insisted he was a habanero despite being born in Switzerland. The recording was later completed with Spanish musicians to reinforce the true essence of the habaneras—a song of coming and going.
May its echo resonate as it once did, with overwhelming force on both sides of the Atlantic.

The concert location is at Lolita's Restaurante @cocina.mexicana.lulita.sma . This is the very first restaurant I ever ate in when I arrived in San Miguel 7 years ago so I am thrilled that I can produce this concert in this absolutely beautiful venue. Please visit www.clubsocialsanmiguel.com to make your reservations. Our last concert sold out so try to reserve as early as you can. Seating is also assigned in order of reservations. I can't wait to see most of you again and all of the lovers of original and diverse music that couldn't make it last time.
