The two bands will in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento.
We are to meet here on the stage of the Old Cathedral of the three female voices are gaining attention more musically in our region.
Three singers who already listen to the national level in the new folk scene.
Alondra Bentley say it is the new revelation of national folk, is that his first work Ashfiel Avenue, has left many with their mouths open.
Born in Lancaster, London, in 1983, an English mother and Spanish father, takes from 4 years in Murcia.
Raised in a musical and artistic environment, developed in adolescence concerned about making their own musical works.
Learning taught himself the guitar, voice and composition.
Influenced by American and English folk music, especially Nick Drake, PJ Harvey and Joni Mitchell songs sung in English set in their own experiences.
She was very Laura More (Murcia, 1979) that after many years of racing, with his guitar in hand, and after several projects Breadth, Brigitte ...
recorded their first On Time in key folk-pop sung in English.
An album full of truth, transmitting stories from the inside, where they observed their great reference, Ani Difranco, PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Ben Harper ...
but with an undeniable air Hispanic.
The night was completed with Lidia Damunt, which would like to appear before the public as a folk singer ghost del Mar Menor.
Armed with his guitar and a tambourine sewn to the ankle, Lidia Damunt has released two albums within a year.
Unknown to the public lies a history of more than a decade playing with Hello Cuca, reference group of underground pop and allergic external interference.
Twelve years after forming Hello Cuca with his sister Mabel and Alfonso Melero, decided to write his lyrics and take a journey alone.
Owner of a very personal universe that updates country tradition led her into the field he knows best, Lidia is situated in a smart compromise between Nashville (city reference country) and Olympia (capital of pop culture "halo yourself).
Just published in the cemetery dangerous, above their songs came on the island of scarves. Lidia Damunt is undoubtedly the queen of folk del Mar Menor.
The last work of Pepo's band has said: "This is a superb job, there are very few records of this quality in Spain." The phrase is from José Miguel López (Discopolis, Radio 3), a member of the European panel world music critics and probably the most authoritative voice of the country if we talk about roots music. And means much to do, the second along the Murcia La Banda del Pepo, a group with a long musical career, they are certainly a bands with more talent and more future in fusion music in the region. Its members have belonged to groups such as Malvariche, Estruktura, Malaguera, Miquel Gil and L'ham de foc. The music of this group looks to roots music, to flamenco, Mediterranean musics. A musical journey that makes Pepo and his band who will be talking about.
Ray Band, meanwhile, was born a few years ago on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea but did not take shape until the summer of 2007.
It was through an advertisement in a role of a music store in a city like Murcia, and crossroads of cultures, peoples and musicians, which Rachel and Joseph created what was an approximation of what Ray is now the Band, a group formed by musicians from Morocco and Spain.
His proposal is original and innovative.
They differ from other bands that fused pop and funk made in Europe with the Moroccan rai and dyes voice halfway between the soul and jazz.
Her first album in the alley of the crescent, was recorded in 2009.
They are a clear example of the fusion of cultures that now live in a region such as Murcia.
