LLU\u00cdS VICENT BANYULS I FERRANDO (Valencia, 1978) is a musician and poet, better known as Llu\u00eds Vicent. He has his roots in the south of Valencia and his childhood, through nature and continued contact with his grandparents, marked him.
His first encounter with music is a broken guitar of his father that he used to play in secret. There comes a time when the guitar and song lyrics created by him are combined, already in adolescence.
At the age of 18, he began learning classical guitar. He stands out with Manuel Collado and Toni I\u00f1\u00edguez (Giner Musical Institute).
There is also its definitive connections to the city of Valencia and the commitment to certain groups.
He has also been in other groups and experienced other genres and currents. It would soon include poets from all lands and languages.
In 2005, \u201cCan\u00e7ons d’anar per casa\u201d appears. But there have been more recitals and various areas. He is a member of the AELC and the Ovidi Montllor Collective.

CIUTAT SUDARI is a book of poems that seeks certain roots in Allen Ginsberg. I don’t want to say anything that coincides with the Prologue by the poet Manel Alonso, because it is better that you buy the book and read it yourself. Also, I don’t want to spoil\u2026
In the first part, there is a return to the roots, to the search for a loss that contrasts with the harshness of the cityl. It’s like that crib called \u201cRosebud\u201d that apeeared in \u201cCitizen Kane\u201d. There is a little of that in this collections of poems. But, immediately, that past is longingly sought is replaced by the present that the city implies and that does not present any positive aspect and, above all, in linked to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
INTERVIEW
We’ll start with generalities\u2026
To what extent have your southern roots influenced your personality and creativity?
How did childhood affect your musical and literary production?
Why did you secretly play the guitar?
What did you plat on the guitar?
Why did you want to learn classical guitar?
Whith which groups have you collaborated or do you collaborate?
Which Catalan and Valencian poets have influenced your work?
Why this \u201cpicoteig\u201d of styles, of authors\u2026?
Why poetry?
Why prose?
How has the pandemic affected you creatively?
Why have you dedicated this collection of poems to the Horta region?
Why this link between the city and death?
Your city is the complete opposite of the Greek polis or the Renaissance city or the capital of culture, encounter, dialogue\u2026 Why have you sought to transmit the spirit of automatons?
It is also a city that destroys all creativity. Ginsberg went through a period of \u201cstuck\u201d, which happens to everyone who is creative. When hi lived in India, he asked a guru how he could regain his creativity. He asked him what he wrote about and Ginsberg replied that it was about the city, but taht it no longer offered him news. Then, the guru told him to go out into the street again and try to see a different city with different eyes. That is, with a beginner’s mind. He got it and created again. Could you get a different vision of the city that you present in this book?
This first part looks like a comic\u2026 Did you have it in mind?
Let’s enter the second part thinking that the aura of the modern city par excellence will remove the bad taste in our mouths that the first one had left in us, but no, it turns out that it even worsens the anguish that we have had to experience.
There are really eschatological verses\u2026
Garc\u00eda Lorca suffered a lot in New York\u2026 Did he see the same city that you describe?
There is an intense distressing search for death\u2026
