Somewhere between popular music and modern sounds, Alba Carmona has spent half her life studying folk music, acquiring knowledge she has shared with artists such as Perico Sambeat, Carlos Saura, Chano Domínguez and Las Migas. Now, having gone through the experience of motherhood, the artist has created her own songs in her first solo album, composed entirely by her alone. Her album was produced by Jesús Guerrero, one of the great artists on the current flamenco scene and who will also be the guitarist accompanying her during her performance at Desvarío.
Desvarío is the successor to the Flamenco festival in Nou Barris, which was created on the initiative of the Nou Barris Municipal District, as a festa major [big annual festival] activity in 2000, and which came to an end after 17 editions. El Dorado S. F. B. has now taken charge of the new festival’s directing and management, in collaboration with the Nou Barris District’s Technical Services. El Dorado is a cultural association set up in 2007 with the aim of creating a regular space for promoting and spreading flamenco culture in Barcelona by understanding flamenco as a modern popular art.
As for fringe activities, there will also be an installation during the festival for watching, every day, a selection from the El Dorado audio-visual archives.
A Nou Barris District and El Dorado, Sociedad Flamenca Barcelonesa co-production.
Supported by the Barcelona Grec Festival 2022.
