records with the Basque National Orchestra
11 may 2012
Jorge Drexler was at the Basque Orchestra's headquarters in Miramon to record a song with the Orchestra for his next music project. An enormously original project: the Uruguayan singer will accompany the launch of his new CD and its appearance on the shelves with a brand new application of his own creation for tablets and smartphones. Users will be able to interact with a song and create almost never-ending versions of it. The Orchestra will contribute by recording the song in sections.
