“It’s the whole world in Barcelos. The whole world fits in a Breaded Xispes “. That’s how Joaquim Durães, the Lovers & amp; Lollipops, co-organizer of the festival million sets in the festival in recent years, has gained a prominent place in Portuguese script. Not by the size of the cold numbers, which explains some (the Millions attracts about five thousand spectators per day), but precisely for what is implied in those two humorous phrases spoken to PUBLIC.
At the Feast of millions actually found a whole world: this edition will hear the German Michael Rother, historical name of the German krautrock, co-founder of Neu! and Harmony (interview in the next issue of Epsilon), side by side with the Colombian Meridian Brothers, with the Thais The Paradise Bangkok Molam International, with the Portuguese Cave Story, with Egyptian Islam chipsy.
In Millions, music lover this world is living in another world called Barcelos, a city that we discovered edition after edition, jumping into the water from the municipal swimming pool, which hosts the afternoon concerts investigating the streets and restaurants of the historic center, seeing the performances at River Park, center of night of the festival action, or crossing the bridge over the river to reach the aforementioned Xispes, bar Barcelinhos with long history and great views of the Cávado where you can appreciate those who are most likely the largest Breaded that humanity has ever seen.
Millions Party sees the world in the form of music, and apreciamo- it on a local scale, human, perfectly integrated in the city that hosts it. But make no mistake. “We are not, nor will we be a world music festival”, explains Joaquim Durães. “What we want is to question what is contemporary music and rock music, which arrives today from all over the world and places that previously thought unthinkable outside of World Musics circuit. The idea is to bring together bands from the periphery of the globalized world, but we are contributing to what is contemporary. “
The festival begins on Thursday, preparing for the day action of the following, circumscribed Taina to the Stage, one of the city parks, overlooking the river Cávado, and here always with free admission. From 18h, will ring names like Cave Story (21h20), exciting promise already assured the national rock’n’roll, or Riding Panic (23.10), which are like resident band, totalist editions of the festival which began in 2007 in Braga, and moved permanently to Barcelos in 2010.
Friday, there is the return of Americans Deerhoof (1h30), masters of a delightfully surreal rock, or THEESatisfaction ( 23h40) – arriving after acting to Barcelos on Thursday in ZDB in Lisbon. Curiosity also to dance the youthful energy of rock’n’roll of Tijuana Panthers (20.50) or, with the Scots Cosmic Dead (22h40; touch the Sabotage in Lisbon the next day), anticipating one of the most anticipated concerts of the festival , which Michael Rother will on Saturday. (23h20: come down to Lisbon, the ZDB, 27)
Joaquim Durães relates, by the way, curious to see how the result genealogy of kraut-rock that emerges molded on the poster. “It starts on Michael Rother, passes by the Paul Allen Anthroprophh [a next generation of the founders; Saturday, 20.50)] and flows in Cosmic Dead. It will be interesting to see how this story born in a very local context [Germany of the 1970s] broke out and spread. “
Over the course of four days, you will hear it new Colombia the Meridian Brothers (Sunday, 2:30 a.m., concert at the Musicbox in Lisbon 27) and the new electronic rhythms, dubbed electro-shaabi , which Islam chipsy helped create in Cairo (Saturday, 2:30 a.m.). No heads-of-poster obvious because the hierarchy here is a relative matter, we will see cult names like English The Bug, underground electronic agitator for almost two decades (Sunday, 1h30), the garage-rockers Italian GoZilla (Saturday, 19h), or the psychedelic electronics of Peaking Lights (Saturday 0h40) and the melting pot, based on the idea of groove , the All We Are (Friday, 21.40), which can be a the revelations in which the Party Millions is lavish. – was in Barcelos, for example, which debuted in Portugal in previous editions, the Alt-J or Jacco Gardner
In addition to all of them, and how usually we see on stage several bands in which it holds the timeliness of the national panorama: Medeiros / Lucas (Sunday, 20h), TOCHAPESTANA (Friday, 17h), HHY & amp; The Macumbas (Friday, 0h30), EME (Saturday, 17:45) or dreamweapon (Sunday, 22.30).
