Penultimate day of La Mar de Músicas, on Friday, July 27 with the performances of La Maravillosa Orquesta del Alcohol and Bisse, the strange boy of Danish music in the Parque Torres Auditorium.
The Cartagena festival will also feature the Malian Fatoumata Diawara, the Danish Wangel and The Kutimangoes and the performance of the Murcian group Poolshake.
The Wonderful Orchestra of Alcohol is one of the groups with more predicament of the national scene: they exhaust tickets where they go and their fans are of the die-hard ones.
In just six years of experience, these Burgos have created a solid and non-transferable identity and repertoire.
They are immersed in the tour of their third long album, Salvavida (of the lost bullets), that of their consecration.
Its seven members form a multidisciplinary and young band, who knows punk and rock, folk, country, blues ... We are talking about The Wonderful Orchestra of Alcohol (FASHION) is having an unstoppable rise and come to La Mar de Músicas to prove it
But the night of the Torres Park will open the Danish Bisse.
It's unique.
He does not look like anyone in the Danish music scene at the moment.
They compare it continuously with David Bowie or with Danish rock star CV Jørgensen.
Transgress is his preferred verb.
Prolific its adjective;
and in just three years he has released eight albums.
He is a risk-taker.
He is an artist, he is an innovative performer and a unique composer whose work is full of energy.
Wildly productive, creative without artistic limits and in total synchrony with his intuition.
Bisse has already set new standards on how to be an artist in Denmark.
It is everything and nothing at the same time.
It is constantly changing, redesigning its sound spaces.
He is the strange boy of the Danish music that is opening the new ways.
Already in the Arab Castle, it will be the turn of Wangel.
A unique, personal and deep voice and soft melodies.
They are the main hallmarks of the Danish Peter Wangel, who along with the producer Kasper Ejlerskov Leonhardt has created the global sound of the project called Wangel.
In 2015 he released his first EP, Eternal History, and local critics were very receptive, predicting good prospects.
And apparently they have not been wrong since the band has performed in different parts of the world and already debuted at the prestigious Danish festivals of Roskilde and Spot.
In 2016, it published its first full-length, Freedom, and in 2017 Reasons, confirming everything augured by the specialists.
Wangel invites the listener to an intimate and electronic universe, where feelings are kept to the surface.
The CIM will host Fatoumata Diawara.
Although her first steps in the art world were learned in her native Africa from the hand of her father, who from an early age invited her to participate in his dance company.
She started her artistic career in Paris as an actress participating in Sophocles' Antigone theatrical work and later in the movie Sia in Mali, before returning to Europe and becoming part of the Royal de Luxe theater company, with them she will travel around the world , and between performances Fatou begins to prepare his own in different Parisian venues.
Throughout her career Fatoumata Diawara has collaborated with a long list of artists ranging from Oumou Sangaré, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Rokia Traoré, Damon Albarn, Hernie Hancock, Bobby Womack and Roberto Fonseca among others.
These last two years, the artist has combined solo tours, appearances in films and documentaries (Timbuktu and Mali Blues), and collaborating with Matthieu Chedid 'M' or Hindi Zahra.
At the moment it is prepared the production of what will be its second international album and from which it is foreseen its exit in 2018.
In the Plaza del Ayuntamiento will be the turn of The Kutimangoes.
Six musicians from Denmark have crossed borders, thrilling audiences from Copenhagen to South Korea and Africa.
Your music is to share.
Formed in 2012, by Gustav Rasmussen and Michael Blicher, The KutiMangoes borrowed West African music and merged it with their own Western musical backgrounds to create a new sound.
From the beginning, the aim of the band was not to play or sound like African musicians (how could they do it?), But to mix cultures to create a new global expression.
His debut "Afro-Fire" (2014) was nominated for five Grammy awards in Denmark, winning the "Best World Music Album" and "Best World Music Track".
After the launch, the band made an extensive tour of Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
In November 2016, they released "Made in Africa", recorded between Burkina Faso and Mali.
Its mission is not to be musical anthropologists, but to create music, share it and unite people.
For that they fell in love with African music, for its ability to fuse body, heart and ear, and by tradition, which unites all those who participate in it.
Poolshake is a group of young musicians composed of Riv (Vox-Guitar-Synth-Piano-Sampler), Adrian (Guitar), David (Bass-Synth) and Tom (Drums-Sampler), who, with only 17 and 18 years of age, old, they took their first steps wrapped in glam reminiscences, surf waves, a garage attitude and glitter.
Currently, they are investigating new sounds, centered on sensual pop, a style in which the chillwave is interspersed with trip environments, deformed melodies loaded with filters, synths, distortion and cottony layers that immerse you in a planetary mist.
The sparkling color of their guitars and the dreamy pop that melts from the steamy voice of Riviera, create a trip atmosphere that seduces you from the first listen.
With their first songs they have already managed to attract the attention of musical specifiers from the USA to Australia.
Your concert will be in Plaza San Francisco.
