In ‘The Letter’ Enrique Bunbury does not avoid any issue
In ‘The Letter’ does not dodge none question about his career with Heroes of Silence and alone, the artistic decisions to always escape from the predictable and safe, the tensions between the artist who needs privacy to be able to create and the public figure of whom everyone seems to have an opinion, the difficulties he had to face during the pandemic to maintain creative tension, his passionate relationship with Zaragoza or America, or his decision to settle in Los Angeles, among many others. “Certain problems in Spain also occur in the United States, such as what citizens face,” he explains.
In short, a unique opportunity to look into the first person portrait of a restless character, loving his privacy while passionately living the stage, and who shows himself in his complexity before those who are the ultimate recipients of its creation: people of all ages and origins, of all conditions, different from each other but who are united by one of the most powerful bonds that exist, the watchword of a true community, that of who receive each of their new albums with the joy and expectation of seeing something unique and unrepeatable. A exceptional document, which goes far beyond the mere fan phenomenon. A true reflection on what it means, in this time of profound transformations, to be a global artist.
