It's all about the soul music to start the show with a great new track from The Inns & Miles Bonny, beautiful stuff. I then trip down to Burkina Faso for some old school African Soul from the newly discovered vocal genius of Victor Deme, who's been…

Not many!! Barcelona is a musical wasteland for a city of it's international stature and reputation. I enjoy my life here but the music scene makes me want to cry.

The Ajuntamento have closed lots of venues and bars which hosted live music and djs severely hindering musical diversity and development in the city. Barcelona is a hotbed of musical creativity but unfortunately there are very few places left where these artists can perform and practise.

New promoters are left with very venue options and the established venues are controlled by promoters who are on the whole programming the same unimaginative artists and djs week after week. Many of the alternative salas open to new or smaller promoters are run by unprofessional, unsupportive owners who are only interested in short term gain and not making investments in equipment, infrastructure or supporting the promoters, if they can be persuaded to do something different at all.

In my time in the city I have seen several high profile artists move to Barcelona only to leave the city once they realise how poor the music scene and opportunities here are and there has been an exodus of young, talented creative people similarly frustrated who have moved to musical rich and diverse cities like Berlin and London.

Ironically Sonar have started Sonar Kids, a fantastic initiative to encourage children into the world of music but what will happen to these kids if they are inspired to become musicians and djs and then realise that they have no outlets for their talent and it is nearly impossible to make a living from music in this city? They will either give up and work in an office in Poble Nou or move out of the city to more fertile creative ground.

Saying that though people are trying to make the most of what little opportunity they have in this city for alternative music:

It's all about the soul music to start the show with a great new track from The Inns & Miles Bonny, beautiful stuff. I then trip down to Burkina Faso for some old school African Soul from the newly discovered vocal genius of Victor Deme, who's been singing all his life in local clubs with no recognition outside his local area - until now! Dokaka is a lunatic Japanese beat boxe… Continuar

Straight in at the deep end this week with one of my new Womex music discoveries, Kouyate & Neerman. I was fortunate to see this due live a couple of weeks ago and the project with Kouyate on Balafon and Neerman on his vibes linked to an effects unit and distortion pedals is great forward thinking Afro Jazz fusion. The Jazz Chronicles album is out and although some of the beats are a bit rigid at times they really… Continuar
