Evan Parker & Barry Guy
Paul Lytton
As always, the priority is given to whom has been developing a musical work of bravery, creativity, progression and artistic coherence - the provenance of one’s aesthetic field or vocabulary is not a primordial concern.
Thus, we find one of the most fundamental bands of the history of jazz - not only the free, but the whole of it - in the last decades, in the trio of Evan Parker, Barry Guy and Paul Lytton, for its first show in Portugal in 15 years; the spearheads of the tradition of Japanese psychedelic heavy rock Acid Mothers Temple, as always led by the Hendrixian virtuoso Makoto Kawabata.

Foodman, from Yokohama/Tokyo, will premiere in Portugal as part of his first European tour, after crashing the scene as a revelation of an electronica that cross-pollinates and distills every possible style (in potency) that this neo-renaisssance and futurist producer can grab and mold in a concretist manner.

Ondness
Ondness is the most active heteronym in recent times of Bruno Silva, tireless musician with a route amply registered with releases published internationally in the last few years, on this project particularly focused on humid landscaping and vaguely toxic, which he processes and distills countless references of composition, improvisation, electronic and ambient music.
The festival, accordingly to his identity, will take place throughout different stages and venues in Barreiro, and the global passes will be on sale online starting tomorrow August 5, with a special price of 20€ until September 9th.
