Jorge Drexler cantará con Elvis Costello en la gala de los Latin Grammys

Nueva York, 31 oct (EFE).- El cantautor uruguayo Jorge Drexler cantará junto al británico Elvis Costello en la ceremonia de entrega de los Grammy Latinos, que se celebrará el próximo día 17 en Las Vegas (Nevada), anunció a EFE el artista latinoamericano.

"Voy a ir con mi banda a los Latin Grammys, voy a cantar en los Latin Grammys, estoy muy contento. Voy a cantar con un invitado que es, además, una especie de sueño", aseguró a EFE, Drexler, nominado a nueve premios por su último disco "Tinta y Tiempo".

Drexler, que se encuentra en Nueva York, donde mañana, martes, arranca una gira de conciertos en Estados Unidos, cuenta que cuando le propusieron cantar en la ceremonia, le preguntaron también con quién le gustaría compartir escenario y canción.

"¿Puedo apuntar alto?", les preguntó Drexler, ante lo que los organizadores le respondieron que lo intentara.

"Y llamé a Elvis Costello, con quien había trabajado en su disco "Spanish Model" y había trabajado muy cercanamente con él en la adaptación de una canción", dijo el artista, que ya ha llevado las diez canciones de su nuevo trabajo por varios países latinoamericanos.

Agrega que cuando el intérprete de "This Year's Model" le dijo que sí, no se lo podía creer.

"Me lo dijo con mucha alegría y mucha disposición, y con muchas ganas de hacer cosas. La verdad es que no me lo puedo creer. Llevo unos días ensayando con él, aquí, en Nueva York, hablando mucho con él por teléfono, organizándolo, haciendo una adaptación de la canción que tenemos que cantar", agrega, antes de advertir de que la canción que interpretarán es "una sorpresa".

Para Drexler, Costello es "unapersona absolutamente deliciosa, con un grado de humildad que resitúa toda la percepción que uno puede tener de un ídolo musical".

Asegura que "actúa con una naturalidad que es totalmente desarmante", hasta el punto -dice- que parece que Costello no es consciente de su propia transcendencia.

"Es una rara avis, tiene una especie de maravillosa ceguera de su trascendencia, es como si no la viera. Me parece la actitud vital más brillante en este trabajo", apunta, antes de insistir en que estos días de convivencia con Costello están siendo para él "una lección de vida". EFE

Jorge Drexler will sing with Elvis Costello at the Latin Grammys gala

New York, Oct 31 (EFE).- The Uruguayan singer-songwriter Jorge Drexler will sing together with the British Elvis Costello at the Latin Grammy Awards ceremony, which will be held on the 17th in Las Vegas (Nevada), the artist announced to EFE Latin American.

"I'm going to go to the Latin Grammys with my band, I'm going to sing at the Latin Grammys, I'm very happy. I'm going to sing with a guest who is also a kind of dream," Drexler, nominated for nine awards for his latest album "Tinta y Tiempo".

Drexler, who is in New York, where tomorrow, Tuesday, starts a concert tour in the United States, says that when he was asked to sing at the ceremony, he was also asked who he would like to share the stage and song with.

"Can I aim high?" Drexler asked them, to which the organizers told him to try.

"And I called Elvis Costello, with whom I had worked on his album "Spanish Model" and had worked very closely with him on the adaptation of a song," said the artist, who has already carried the ten songs of his new work for several Latin American countries.

He adds that when the "This Year's Model" singer said yes, he couldn't believe it.

"He told me with a lot of joy and a lot of willingness, and with a lot of desire to do things. The truth is that I can't believe it. I've been rehearsing with him for a few days, here in New York, talking a lot with him on the phone, organizing it , making an adaptation of the song that we have to sing", he adds, before warning that the song they will perform is "a surprise".

For Drexler, Costello is "an absolutely delightful person, with a degree of humility that resets any perception one can have of a musical idol."

He claims that he "acts with a naturalness that is completely disarming," to the point, he says, that it seems that Costello is unaware of his own transcendence.

"She is a rare bird, she has a kind of wonderful blindness to her transcendence, it is as if she does not see her. It seems to me the most brilliant vital attitude in this work," he points out, before insisting that these days of coexistence with Costello are being for him "a life lesson". EFE

EC and Jorge Drexler played Drexler's song "Tocarte." EC sang mostly in English and played a guitar solo.

"Tocarte" went on to win both song and record of the year. EC was seen sitting in the front row when Drexler accepted.
