Sonar Music and Art Festival In Barcelona 19-21 June
The official scoop from the Sonar website:
The 15th Sonar festival, to be held this year on the 19th, 20th and 21st of June, has two main themes as the basis for its programme - the “female factor” in today’s music and “hybridism” as the result of the intersection of musical genres and subgenres.
Women have pride of place on the bill. Unquestionable divas of modern pop like Goldfrapp and Roísín Murphy provide a contrast to the confrontational and multicultural glamour of M.I.A. or the vocal alchemy of Camille, the new muse of the “chanson française”.
Key figures that are impossible to label, such as Justice,Yelle, Diplo, Spank Rock and Boys Noize give this year’s programme an injection of hybrid energy and a proud display of the spirit of ‘Do It Yourself’.
A place for encounters and reencounters. Two short-lived but legendary duos will be reunited at Sonar - Yazoo, synthesiser pop legends, and Mike Banks and Jeff Mills, the genesis of Underground Resistance.
On a contemporary note, Jamie Cullum and his brother Ben Cullum join forces with the former member of Underworld Darren Emerson to create BC vs JC featuring Darren Emerson.
The collaborators and protegées of Kanye West, A-Trak and Kid Sister, combine decks and rhymes with the new phenomenon DJ Mehdi.
