Folque: Zona da Zanfona, X Encontro Internacional

Zona da Zanfona, X Encontro Internacional

Lugar: Rianxo

Prezo: por actividade

Zona da Zanfona, o festival internacional organizado por aCentral Folque cumple 10 anos consolidado como un referente internacional no seu ámbito. Na súa programación inclúense ofertas variadas e complementarias que van desde o público de veciñas e veciños de Rianxo e a comarca de Arousa principalmente as crianzas, até o público xeneralista ou especializado no instrumento.

Sesións didácticas nas escolas do concello, divulgación do instrumento por medio da publicación de vídeos 10º aniversario,cursos para especialistas de interpretación e composición,concertos de destacados artistas galegos e internacionais, sesións para o baile: Serán infantil e Baile Assalto ZdZ,exposición antolóxica cos obxetos e os cartaces das 10 edicións "Trebellos con manivela" ademais da promoción da nova xeración de luthieres galegos conforman a programación da Zona da Zanfona para este ano en Rianxo.

Logo de dez anos, os Encontros Internacionais coa Zanfona seguen a estender os límites conceptuais deste "sintetizador medieval " a territorios compartidos por estéticas posmodernas (drone, acusmática, secuenciación computacional, reducionismo, intervención sonora, improvisación, performance, o loop,...) que conviven coa música popular e universal, coa música coma razón social e encontro humano na percepción abstracta da paisaxe acústica dos nosos días.

Son significativas todas as figuras de renome internacional que teñen pasado por este encontro situando a Galicia no epicentro mundial do instrumento e que marca un presente magnífico para un porvir donde a memoria do instrumento vai gañando cada vez máis espazo desde o rexurdir dos anos 70. É nesta memoria que aCentral Folque é plataforma activa que aposta e pon e conexión a profesionais, alumnos, luthiers conseguindo desde o 2000 unha renovación esencial .

Zona da Zanfona ten acubillado os máis sobresaíntes creadores da novas tendencias para o instrumento: Valentín Clastrier, Matthias Loibner, Gilles Chabenat, Gregory Jolivet, Marc Egea, Isabelle Pignol, Óscar Fernández, Anxo Pintos, Adrià Grandia, ... ou os luthieres e investigadores Jaime Rebollo, Xulio Gª Bilbao, Luciano Pérez, Pablo Cid, César Loureiro…

Consolidado en Rianxo, ubicación de excepción para a cultura do país está a vangarda na programación musical para a zanfona, instrumento carismático que segue a sorprender e dando que falar logo de mil anos de Historia.

Por vez primeira no Encontro, este ano hai dous cursos para músicos.

Le Petit Chien | Music and me (Jo Freya's blog)

This is a title of an Andy Cutting tune on the new Blowzabella CD “Strange News. In the live gigs before Christmas I hinted that there is a story behind this title and there is. It’s too long though to form part of an introduction in a live show when you’d far rather fill the air with music or helpful dance instruction rather than general blather. So here’s the story...

Le Vent du Nord happy with venture into classical | Western Canada Tour

Just returning from an amazing first France venues tour, the Juno Awards winning Quebecois Le Vent du Nord is getting ready to head Western Canada tour (British Colombia & Alberta), from March 6 to 17, 2014.

To start the tour, Le Vent du Nord will be performing to the Royal Theatre in Victoria with the Victoria Symphony (BC, March 7, 8 & 9 2014) and will, after this special concerts series, visit Cumberland ( BC, March 11), St. Albert (AB, March 12), Golden (BC, March 13), Merritt (BC, March 14), Whistler (BC, March 15), Maple Ridge (BC, March 16)

Le Vent du Nord happy with venture into classical

The band members of Le Vent du Nord have become used to their role as ambassadors of Québécois folk music, having performed the foot-stomping tunes across the country and abroad.

So when the opportunity to build another bridge presented itself — this time between musical disciplines — they were up for that, too.

But that doesn’t mean they weren’t a bit wary before recording an album with the Orchestre Symphonique de Québec. Folk musicians often have certain preconceived notions about classical musicians, and vice versa, according to Le Vent du Nord’s Nicolas Boulerice.

“People from classical music look at folk music as very simple, gentle music, but not very interesting. And folk musicians look at classical musicians as snobby people. So we had that prejudice to each other,” Boulerice, who sings and plays the hurdy-gurdy, piano and piano-accordion with the band, said in an interview. “We said OK, let’s do it. But basically, we’ll see.”

He’s happy they did.
