Agenda Barcelona

BCNXMAN

Who would have thought that flamenco, hip-hop and electronic pop, wildly different at first glance, could be fused so naturally? This Santa Coloma de Gramenet-born artist makes it look easy. Her groundbreaking, magnetic approach has earned her international recognition. Her music immerses you in Latin, flamenco and urban sounds; all enveloped in an aura of cobles and boleros that emerge from her flamenco roots and her inner world.

Queralt Lahoz draws on family tradition to build a bridge between past and future, between the omnipresent flamenco of her city and today’s urban sounds. If you want to hear someone who can sing a heartfelt bolero and then turn into a ‘90s rap star at the drop of a hat, don’t miss this artist in a joint concert with Werkha, a musician from the Manchester scene. In fact, he’s known as both Werkha and by his real name, Tom Leah. A multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ from Manchester and the English county of Cumbria, his live performances fuse analogue jazz with the UK’s electronic to create cinematic music that blends perfectly with the Catalan artist’s style. Come hear them play together in a unique concert that was largely developed during a residency that Queralt Lahoz and Werkha’s musicians completed at the Fabra i Coats: Creation Factory. This is what Manchester and Barcelona sound like together.
