One more day the Cartagena Jazz Festival has women as protagonists.
This Friday, November 17 at 9:30 p.m. on the tables of the Nuevo Teatro Circo will perform in a double program, which is the musical couple of the year in Spain, Maria Arnal and Marcel Bagés and the Brazilian pianist and singer Eliane Elias.
They remain localities to 18 euros.
Possibly Maria Arnal and Marcel Bagés are the most important musical revelation of this 2017 in Spain with Rosalía.
Heirs of the Mediterranean tradition, Maria and Marcel update the song.
The origin of the duo is to be found in the collective Compartir Dóna Gustet, committed to the popular and the concerns of the people.
This is demonstrated by explicitly political issues such as 45 brains and a heart, also the name of the album they come to present to Cartagena, inspired by the discovery of a common grave in the Spanish civil war in La Pedraja (Burgos).
María Arnal and Marcel Bagés combine Spanish and Catalan, their own and others 'themes, including their own and others' lyrics in the same subject, and incorporate in their project the rescue of field recordings and digitized files belonging to different music libraries throughout the country.
His music is the product of minimalism and the fusion of new and old ideas, modernity and folklore, electronics and traditional cante.
After them, it will be the turn of the Brazilian pianist, composer and vocalist, Eliane Elias, who many discovered in Spain with the documentary 'Calle 54' by Fernando Trueba.
He has recorded duets with Herbie Hancock and has been the musical director of Gilberto Gil, two works that reflect his two worlds: jazz and bossa nova.
During her first thirty years of artistic career and being one of the leading jazz figures in Brazil, Eliane Elias had never recorded in her country.
Lives in New York.
In 2015 he decided to go to Sau Paulo where he recorded "Made in Brazil" album with which he won the Grammy for best Latinjazz album.
In March of this year he released his new album "Dance of Time", recorded again in Brazil, with local musicians and where he pays homage to Brazilian jazz and samba.
A celebration for the centenary of the samba.
