  9. Lo clásico lo es por ser de alguna manera lo mejor.

    En 2020, con Obvio (que sigue vivo por mis listas) lo corroboró el de Figueras.

    Ahora, Kiko Veneno compartió Helicrisum, otra canción llena de sol expansivo y suave al mismo tiempo que ilumina lo que se le ponga por delante sin grandes artificios o esfuerzos.

    Prácticamente a guitarra y voz, aunque revestida con mañas de estudio estratégicamente calzadas por aquí y allá de la mano de su productor, el Kiko de siempre asoma y se apropia de la composición, que habla de disfrutar lo cotidiano, de ser mochilero, de la magia del sur, de las flores, si no de todas sí de una en particular a la que le canta con una cadencia de rumba de mecedora, o de hamaca anudada a dos troncos bien gruesos.

    Como el mejor Pancho Varona, Veneno convoca con poco lugares comunes que interpelan a cualquiera a través de las imágenes interiores que nos surgen cuando las describe desgranando la letra, repartiendo luz y ese rollazo súper buena onda que desconozco de dónde lo saca pero que ojalá nunca se le agote.

    Para qué más adornos si ya con cuatro ladrillos te hace una casa para entrar a vivir.
