The music of the future

Neneh Cherry and Andrea Oliver in conversation with Miquita Oliver
–
Teatro de la Ciudad
The Swedish singer Neneh Cherry became famous in 1989 with the hit Buffalo Stance, and from the beginning showed that she was going to do things her own way: from performing while pregnant to leaving her music career at the very top in order to raise her children, and then making a comeback 18 years later. All this and more appear in her recent biography: A Thousand Threads. The British chef and presenter, Andrea Oliver, has made a name for herself with a focus on Caribbean cuisine and by appearing in programmes such as Great British Menu. They will talk to the British television presenter Miquita Oliver.
Simultaneous interpretation from English to Spanish available
In his most recent book, Goth, the legendary founding member of The Cure, Lol Tolhurst (United Kingdom) returns to his origins: the music scene of the late 70s and early 80s, years when new bands were arriving: Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Joy Division and, of course, The Cure. This work records the channelling of a force that goes beyond music: a community, a feeling of belonging, and something that meant the shadows and darkness –and those basslines– became a light that drew people together.

Huimilpan, Plaza Cívica del Jardín Miguel Hidalgo
Joselo Rangel is a multidisciplinary artist. Although he is well-known as the guitarist of Café Tacvba, one of the most iconic bands in Spanish-language rock, as a writer Joselo is the author of books such as One hit wonder, the novel Los desesperados, and the book for children La niña aburrida. His creativity as a musician, composer, producer and writer means he can move freely from one genre to another. On this occasion he will talk to another multifaceted artist, also known as one of the most important bassists in the world of music, Cha!.
What if music and illustration came together? Kevin Johansen sings and Liniers draws, until they mingle to create a concert in which the sings are illustrated and the drawings sing. A spontaneous, unpredictable show… or, in other words, chaotic good fun.
Legendary American record producer and author Joe Boyd(United Kingdom) is renowned for his work with artists such as Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, R.E.M., Cubanismo and Toots and the Maytals, among many others over the course of a sixty-year career. Following his acclaimed 2005 memoir, White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s, he has published And the Roots of Rhythm Remain, a thrilling history of the personalities, places, politics, and connections that have contributed to the way our world sounds. This event, which will take listeners on a global journey from Cuba to India, Brazil to Jamaica, Eastern Europe to Africa, will show how the modern musical world was shaped by colonial slavery, migration, and the 78 rpm record—and how unstoppable music is, and how alien to oceans and borders.
