From the Mediterranean
The Etnomusic festival returns as every year to the appointment with the public of the city of Valencia, in an edition full of enthusiasm and courage after the flood that our territory suffered last October 2024. To this end, L'ETNO offers a proposal full of groups of Valencian origin that, with an international vocation, present works that cover our closest geographical framework and the one that configures the Mediterranean, this sea, sometimes the source of massive storms, but always a robust bridge between cultures and peoples.
Cabra, Valencian group formed by musicians from different origins in Spain will offer us a journey through the Iberian Peninsula in a sonorous journey in which tradition and the personal contribution of each performer are mixed.
Andrés Belmonte will propose a fusion between Arab music and traditional Valencian music with a central instrument, the nai, a flute from the Middle East of millenary origin. Meanwhile, Noelia Llorens, Titana, one of the most consolidated, powerful and empowered voices of our traditional music, will take us on a journey through our musical present rooted in the past.
The trio formed by the Catalan duo ZA! and the singer Perrate will offer a groundbreaking concert in which flamenco gives way to percussion and electronic music in a ‘meticulously’ improvised game.
Etnomusic will include a concert from the ‘Música en Construcción’ cycle of the Culture Department of the Diputación de València. This year we will have the chance to enjoy the Valencian group Saüc Ensemble, a classical ensemble that will perform music created in the Mediterranean during the Renaissance. The festival will also include a concert for families offered in collaboration with the SARC (Department of Culture of the Provincial Council of Valencia) by the Galician percussion group Odaiko.
