CONCIERTOS MÍNIMOS III - PICNIC Outdoors and unplugged for the first time. In wanting to make the most of the summer, we engage in a series of musical encounters throughout the city, discovering locations and sounds in open places, open air. A responsible vindication of our city and its secret corners, of possibilities from the unofficial. A Sunday morning in June we organised the third edition in the series of intimate-collective concerts:



Four guests to listen under the tree shade: Fee Reega's german crooner-folk in spanish, a session of vitaminic taiko with Isabel Romeo Biedma of Seiwa Taiko, the unipersonal electronica gone collective acoustic wonder of ELM (Experimental Little Monkey) and... Pablo Und Destruktion was meant to offer us some psychedelic asturianadas but he ate something bad and could not make it (we hope to host him in the future). Coincidentally Lorena Álvarez showed up and agreed to sing some songs during dessert. There were cherries, chocolate cookies, heart-shaped watermelon pieces... Delicious.

The premise was simple: we bring the music, you bring the food. After the concerts, we all shared a picnic together with what everybody brought. Any person could come and bring whatever they wanted, also whoever they wanted, as this time there was no limitation in space. We decorated with sticks, rope and paper. Marga and Marta were in charge of the make-up stand where some little ones and also some grown-ups were transformed: leopards, panda bears, butterflies, dogs...

Soon we will upload a video and more editions will follow in unusual places with wonderful musicians... contact us if you wish to be informed, recommend a location, suggest musicans, collaborate in some way or just recieve news on the next edition.













Antonio Pérez wrote an interesting article (in spanish only, read here) for El Economista paper, helping disseminate the event. Here is a translated extract:

While an important part of the cultural scene laments that in the current socio-economical situation the obliged budget cuts of administrations and private sponsors hurt the arts sector deeply, small groups of inocuos activists like the one we pay attention to today, demonstrate with their small-big actions that the will for things to happen is more powerful than the barriers with which culture is confronted daily.
