About Anthus
Anthus did not take long to become established as “one of the best male jazz voices in our country”, according to the specialised critics. Now, after two years’ work in the studio, this singer, composer and arranger releases Calidoscòpic, his most autobiographical work to date. This highly eclectic album is the result of a veritable torrent of creativity in which Anthus fuses contemporary and classical jazz with Mediterranean sounds, pop and even rap. In short, a world of sounds reflected through the filter of his own personal kaleidoscope.

“I like observing the world around me”, says Anthus. “I see it as if it were surrounded by a multitude of realities, one over the other, like layers, windows, or mirrors that reflect our existence and in which we see ourselves as we are or how we would like to be...”
And this album also takes a look at music from different angles, because, in it, Anthus unveils his kaleidoscopic colours, overlaying the most varied sounds, one on top of the other: from contemporary to classical jazz, from Mediterranean sounds to pop and even rap. What do all these styles, fused together, have in common? According to Anthus, they all reflect an immense love for music and the desire to make music.
Calidoscòpic comprises ten tracks that truly reveal Anthus in body and soul. "Cubs, esferes i cilindres", "Elisa", "Mediterraneum", "Hipnosi il•lustrada", "Metròpolis", "Miratges", "Música ets tu", "Adéu-siau pare", "800 km" and "Homocromia" are the titles of the ten tracks, each of which describe different realities and all of which reveal Anthus in his purest state.
Nothing is static, nothing is as it was before, and nothing will be the same an instant later. Our everyday life is composed of infinite windows and mirrors that change according to the light or our angle of vision. And the same is true of Calidoscòpic, a faithful reflection of Anthus’s very being: eclectic, versatile, innovative to the maximum. This restless, creative artist is engaged in a constant quest to elevate jazz to its maximum expression. In Calidoscòpic, we meet a unique vocalist, a true jazz artist.
