Hi! Thanks for stopping by and reading about this music project!

I am Alfredo Padilla, musician and actor.

This project has been started to promote my first album solo recording.

You know “A picture is worth a thousand words”, so clicking on the songs named below, you’ll watch me playing on live at TVG (Galician TV) with my good friend Fran Sanz on bass:

Four Kisses and Just for Skilled People

My history...

There’s not that much to tell... I learned to play guitar in my childhood. I then was part of many bands like “The RockHudson Band”, “The Galindez Bros” or “-People Remain the Same”. During the last couple of years, I participated in several projects: I composed music for theatre, I filmed, recorded, acted, performed and travelled from here to everywhere, and after having been based in London for two years, I was paying a visit to some musician friends of mine in Madrid, many of them former fellow good friends and we developed the idea of this project which will result in a CD.
 

The disk

Ok, here we go... The "Artistic Production" of this Album will be done by Pablo Sciuto, an Uruguayan songwriter who worked with Leo Minax, Jorge Drexler, Carlos Chaouen, Pablo Guerrero and Habana Abierta. It will be recorded in Casa Sonora’s studios in Madrid with the technical operation of Felix Botana who has already worked with Steve Winwood, George Benson, Radio Futura, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Maria Betanhia, Jorge Pardo, Jerry Lee Lewis.
