Review by Katrin Hollister

Guitarra Romántica by Ignasi Simon: A Latin Folk Gem That Feels Like Home Let’s cut to the chase—Ignasi Simon’s Guitarra Romántica is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. It’s not trying too hard, but it doesn’t need to. This record, released under the Aguila label in Germany, leans into its Latin roots with a folk twist, and trust me, it’s got soul. The lineup? Simple yet perfect: Ignasi Simon strums his guitar like he’s whispering secrets to it, while Salvador Candel adds just enough keyboards to keep things dreamy without stealing the spotlight. Now, this album is packed with tracks that feel like old friends, but two stood out to me so much I couldn’t stop humming them for days. First off, there’s “Romance (Film ‘Jeux Interdits’).” Yeah, yeah, we’ve all heard this tune before—it’s iconic, right? But Simon takes it somewhere new. His guitar is soft, almost hesitant at first, like he’s testing the waters. Then BAM, it swells into this rich, emotional wave that hits you right in the feels. You don’t just listen to this track—you live it. Then there’s “L’Aguila Negra (L’Aigle Noir),” which honestly feels like a warm hug from someone who gets you. There’s something about the way Simon blends melody and rhythm here; it’s nostalgic but fresh, like finding an old photo album and realizing how much joy those memories still bring. The keyboard work by Candel is subtle but golden, adding layers that make you want to close your eyes and drift away. The rest of the album has bangers too—“Cavatina” will transport you straight to The Deerhunter, and “Love Story” tugs at heartstrings without even trying. Oh, and can we talk about how they slipped in “Yesterday”? It’s proof that Simon isn’t afraid to put his own spin on classics. He doesn’t overdo it—he lets the song breathe, staying true to its essence while making it uniquely his. Here’s the thing about Guitarra Romántica: it’s not flashy or loud. It’s the kind of music you play when you’re cooking dinner alone or staring out the window during a rainy afternoon. And maybe that’s why it sticks. No bells, no whistles—just honest, heartfelt tunes that remind you life can be beautiful if you let it. You know what’s wild though? Listening to this album made me realize something kinda funny. Music doesn’t have borders. Here’s a guy from Germany, playing Latin folk music, covering French film scores and British pop songs—and somehow, it all fits together like pieces of a puzzle. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Maybe the world isn’t as divided as we think. Or maybe I’m just overthinking it because I’m listening to “L’Amour Est Bleu” again. Either way, give Guitarra Romántica a spin. Your ears might thank you—or at least forgive you for blasting EDM last weekend.
