Born in Sweden to parents who were Argentine political refugees, José González went on to become one of the prominent singer/songwriters of the Swedish pop music wave of the ’00s, distinguished by his refined classical guitar playing and acoustic style, which also reveals hints of indiepop and bossa nova, as well as his philosophical lyrics. His 2003 debut album, Veneer, found immediate success in his native country, a feat he repeated on the international stage with a stripped-down cover of the song Heartbeats, originally by the Swedish electropop band The Knife. His output so far consists of four solo albums and two others by his introspective indie folk and folktronica duo Junip. At his next Hungarian solo concert, he will delight the Müpa Budapest audience with his delicate fingerstyle guitar work and gently intimate vocal style.
Program and cast
Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
