The curtain rises with the duo Birds On A Wire. With their solid training and daring musical flair, these two enchanting birds have developed a singular dreamlike language over three albums, as melodious as the nightingale’s song at dusk, as shimmering as the plumage of exotic birds. Led by the cello, this highly sensitive two-voice combo sings on the edge of emotion, reinterpreting familiar tunes that revive the sense of wonder that guided our childhood. Skipping freely from Tom Waits to The Cure or Bronski Beat to Barbara with equal mastery and grace, they have the gift of bewitching all that touches them – and us! This duo of irresistible, mischievous fairies is pure magic…
Then, Les Suds invites you to continue the evening with Yerai Cortés. A cante gitano of inner revolt, played with a supernatural explosion of compás and a mastery already acclaimed by many artists, from Farruco to Rocío Molina. Taken from C. Tangana’s film La guitarra flamenca de Yerai Cortés, about the sad secrets and joys of intra-familial relationships, his siguiriyas, falsetas, farrucas and bulerías illustrate an intimate and lively soundtrack, so moving that it touches the human universal. Strung up on his guitar in the middle of an all-female chorus, his sincere playing with its hallucinatory velocity, his rigorously precise fingering and the harmonies that flow from his guitar like a redemptive flow will undoubtedly summon another guest to the stage… el duende, not to mention his name! – Also featuring María Reyes, Salomé Ramírez, Elena Ollero, Triana Manuel, Nerea Domínguez & Macarena Campos (cante, palmas)
