6pm Lluís Capdevila (solo piano)
LLuís grew up by the vineyards of El Priorat, close to the Mediterranean Sea (Catalonia, Northeast of Spain). His search for freedom, expression and creativity soon connected him to composing and improvisation. His debut album Diaspora (2016) will soon be followed by his second studio album, Cinematic Radio (2019) which addresses his original music to a wider audience through a material that evokes cinematic moods.
8pm Lau Noah (songs/folk)
The musical tapestry of this upcoming Catalan Singer-Songwriter-Guitarist is a conversation between masterful storytelling, a very personal guitar style, intertwined cultures and a limitless sense of imagination that provide the audience with the capacity to time-travel between their child self and the being they will become when the last song of the show comes to an end.
