Tenho sentimentos mistos em relação ao ano passado. O fim da pandemia e o início de uma guerra na Europa marcaram o panorama internacional, por entre avanços e retrocessos civilizacionais. A nível musical, constituiu um regresso em peso da música ao vivo. Não tenho memória de ter visto tantos concertos num só ano, por entre salas e festivais. Foi também o ano em que passei a integrar o formato banda do projeto musical
Silly Boy Blue e em que regressei às lides botadisquistas. Infelizmente, 2022 levou tantos e tantas artistas. Deixaram-nos figuras lendárias como Ronnie Spector, Elza Soares, Betty Davis, Vangelis, Pharoah Sanders, Loretta Lynn, Gal Costa, Christine McVie e Angelo Badalamenti. Partiram prematuramente Rachel Nagy, Mark Lanegan, Taylor Hawkins, Mira Calix, David Freel, Andrew Fletcher, Julee Cruise, jaimie branch, Anton Fier, Mimi Parker, Keith Levene, Terry Hall e Martin Duffy. Apesar das perdas, a música vai sempre acumulando valor, com tanta música a ser produzida e/ou descoberta, e penso ter batido um
record pessoal do número de discos ouvidos. É o que este balanço pretende resumir, sob a forma das habituais listas. Desejo-vos um 2023 repleto de boa música, saúde e um mundo melhor!
