Press Release from Saimel:In his new film Daniel Monzón counts again with Roque Baños as composer of the soundtrack, both collabo-rated previously in “El Niño”, “Celda 211” or “The Kovak Box”.
¨Yucatan” is a comedy, for which Roque Baños has created an agile, melodic and elegant music, with a jazzy colour, easy to listen on disk, in words of composer music “shows for me the final message of the film is while we are alive we must enjoy who offers us their love”.
Daniel Monzón, director of the film, commented about the music: “Roque’s score amalga-mates and gives unity to the film (...) The irresistible theme of scammers and their variations, con-ceived from a postulate of “scoundrel” jazz, describes with class of high comedy the traps and tricks Lucas, Clayderman and the others perpetrate against poor Antonio, the most innocent of characters imaginable, contrasting with the moral rot of those around him. On the other hand, Roque has com-posed one of his most beautiful and delicate themes, the one about Antonio’s romantic feeling, his love for Carmen, but also his desire to return to Yucatan to recover the lost paradise. This beautiful theme, more valuable for its delicate simplicity almost impressionistic, contains the soul of the film. And it appeals to emotion in a noble way, avoiding melodrama or sentimental gloating”.
