Susana Seivane – Sete (Mare, 2023)
Susana Seivane is back, and she’s not holding back! In her latest album, Sete, released on December 7th, 2023, she’s not just delivering music; she’s making a statement. Let’s dive into the beats and the heart behind this groundbreaking proposal.
Kicking things off with a bang, Susana gives us a taste of what’s to come in ‘Non é non.’ This track isn’t just about the music; it’s a powerful stand against gender violence. Susana cranks up the volume on her bagpipe, breaking the silence and rallying a crew of talented artists (Elena Ferro, Iván Raña, Carlos Blanco, and more) unifying their voices to repudiate this societal scourge.
Susana’s seventh album is not just an evolution; it’s a revolution. She’s infusing the timeless sound of the bagpipe with contemporary vibes, creating a sound that hits you right in the soul. The content transcends genres. It is heavier, the beats are more powerful, infused with rock, funk and jazz, yet she manages to preserve the authenticity that defines her as one of Spain’s leading bagpipers.
So, buckle up for an immersive experience as Susana Seivane breaks barriers, speaks out, and rocks our musical world with Sete.
