Sitges offers 22 music and dance proposals for the "Indispensable" season

The Imprescindibles 2024 cycle, organised by the Sitges Town Council's Department of Culture, presents 22 proposals as part of the Terramar CaixaBank Festival, to be held from 24th July to 9th August

This year's edition maintains the commitment to vindicate local talent and the local area with an eclectic and plural programme made up of a total of 7 musical concerts, 11 DJ sessions and 4 dance shows.

 

Coinciding with International Music Day and the open day at the "Escorxador", the line-up of more than twenty artists who will be showing their recordings and choreographies has been made public. Taking part in the presentation ceremony were the Mayoress of Sitges, Aurora Carbonell; the Councillor for Culture, Albert Oliver-Rodés; the director of Radio Sitges and coordinator of the Imprescindibles 2024 cycle, Nuria Escarp, and the co-director of the Terramar CaixaBank Festival, Joan Ramon Rodríguez.

 

The Village Stage doors will open at 8 pm, when the DJ sessions will begin. At 8.55 p.m., the music and dance performances will begin until 9.30 p.m., before the concerts in the Auditorium, which will be held on the main stage of the event.

 

Music, dance and DJs on the Village stage, located in the rafts of the Terramar Gardens, will be able to enjoy a wide range of proposals. In the field of dance, from 24 July to 1 August, several performances by local artists will be programmed. Art i moviment' by the Grupo Sénior Esplai de Danza Casino Prado will open the dance programme with a performance that fuses classical, contemporary and jazz. The company Las Dueñas del Balón will present 'La Divina', a contemporary dance show based on the novel 'La Divina comedia' to raise questions such as: what brings people down in the age of technology, hyper-connectivity, immediacy and screens, and how people can heal and reach paradise.

 

Spanish dance will also take centre stage with Castaguitar's 'Moments', a montage that shows the interplay between the strings of the guitar and the strings of the castanets accompanied by the movement that unites them. The fusion of various styles of urban dance will also have its place with the dynamic and vibrant show 'Join the collective' by Collective Danza Studio (1 August).
Pop, rock, electronica, Brazilian popular music, flamenco fusion and singer-songwriter music are some of the styles that can be heard from 20.45 onwards, after the DJ sessions.

 

The musical performances will kick off on 2 August with a concert by Glòria and Oriol, a duo formed by Sitges-born singer Glòria Freixas and guitarist Oriol Valero. The two, with long experience in different musical groups, will perform versions of pop-rock songs and other styles that were relevant between the 1960s and 2010s. During the performance you will be able to listen to songs from King Krimson to Amy Winehouse.

 

The group Kitkat, made up of four young Ribetans, will also offer a varied repertoire of covers to make people dance and sing along (3 August), while Ina Mú will showcase Brazilian popular music to the public (4 August). The programme will continue on 6 August with the electronic music of OMEGA dB, the alias of Adrián Gázquez, a composer and producer of electronic music, content creator and music technology enthusiast.


The singer Daniel Villar, born in Huelva and resident in Cubelles, will offer his flamenco fusion (7 August) with different styles to reach all kinds of audiences. Electronic pop-rock will take centre stage on 8 August with "Dos ombres perfectes & RÍA". The group is made up of the brothers Dash and Josh Obradors and the singer RÍA.

 

On 9th August, Pilar Mena's quartet will present "Mangata", the first studio album by the Sitges-born artist with strong links to the Pitiusas islands. During the concert you will be able to listen to the themes of this album based on the moon, circular and cyclical. The feminine and Mediterranean voice, the poetics of nature and its cycles, as well as the strength of family ties, come together in this work to share a sonorous journey through the imaginary and the roots of the artist and the musicians who accompany him.
