Dante Spinetta celebrated his recognition as a music producer at Press Gardel and claimed the inheritance that his father, Louis Alberto Spinettamarked him as an artist who from the “cultural resistance” has done what he “believes he does” beyond the “trends” of the industry.
with his disk sweet table, ex Illya Kuryaki & The Valderramas, who competed in seven categorieswon Producer of the Year, Recording Engineering and Best Rock Song for The dark side of the heart and Best Collaboration for the theme Sudakaalong with Thunder.
Musical producer
In a press conference, Dante said he was “delighted” with the award which recognizes his work as a music producer of his own works: “It is an award that I love because I have devoted a lot of work and emphasis to production, texture design and sounds, studying the eras and knowing what was used on each record”.
“It’s a very investigative production world, the play with textures. So winning this award as a producer is crazy for me because I always flash with the production and sometimes you don’t notice in that work that I did from Illya Kuryakis where we already produced with Emma (horvilleur) from chaco on. All my records I producedSpinetta added.
“A very nice caress”
In another order, he stressed that awards are “resignificant” throughout a career, but that even so they continue to be “a very nice caress” because, despite “the most important award is that of the people who attend the shows”, it is a “recognition that comes from colleagues, from the sector and from those who know about music”.
And he added: “It makes me very happy and I still feel the same nerves as when I started, the same ones I feel every time I go on stage or I have to speak like here, or when I receive an award. I still feel that spark and the day I don’t hear it anymore is probably the day I leave the mic and guitar at home and I don’t do it anymore”.
And she added: “For now, I have all the same expectations, the same dreams, some bigger dreams and some different ones, but there is something I will never regret: the path I have taken, the path of love for the music and doing what you want to go beyond what happens with trends”.
What did he learn from his parents
That conception of his artistic journey is something that inherited from his parents Luis Alberto Spinetta and Patricia Salazar: “From them I learned to be part of the cultural resistance and to do what you think you have to do, because there were times, when we were kids, when we didn’t have the best economic situations”.
“We moved house all the time and I went to ten schools. We went through a lot of things that had to do with economic instability, but I never saw my father trade his spirit or sell something he didn’t believe in. He did what he wanted and what he had to do. And this is a treasure, this is his legacy and for me the greatest influence. And my mother was there to hold on, to keep the family together; love has always brought us together,” she added.
Her mother’s death in August 2021 put production on her award-winning album on hold, which she finally resumed with the “conviction of following a dream”: “And that’s why They are always with meand that’s why I feel the need to give my all in every job since my mom has been gone,” he concluded.
When asked about the immediacy imposed by digital platforms in the current music scene, he said that it is “part of the game” but that in the face of this reality one must “be calm with the path one has chosen”.
“The format -he concluded- will always change, but what resists are good ideas, beautiful songs. The sales and promotion formats will change, but good ideas always come to the fore”.
