Fiestas in Sant Agustí
The mixture of Basque and Bulgarian music by Ttukunak and Rodopis and the Cuban sounds by Sonora Corasón are the musical proposal for the principal day of the fiestas of Sant Agustí, on Wednesday 28.
Sant Agustí's stand for ethnical music maintains its high level of quality. Ttukunak is a group formed by the twin sisters Sara and Maika Gómez, txalaparta players, a Basque percussion instrument.
The Bulgarian Rodopis are five lovers of Bulgarian traditional music (Ivo Hristov, Plamen Ivanov, Kancho Kanchev, Nasco Hristov and Petar Kairiakov) who formed a group in Madrid and have already recorded their first record. The fusion of the popular music of theses two countries was already presented in the festival Pirineos-Sur in Aragon.
As for the Cuban sound by Sonora Corasón, a video in ASF format of a concert can be seen, that was held in the Casa de América de Madrid, where they played songs by Benny Moré, Joe Arroyo, Oscar D'Leon and Ismael Rivera.
The fiestas begin this Sunday with an excursion to Sa Capelleta and a folk meeting by the group of "ball de bastons" of the Agrupació de Ball Popular de Vilanova i la Geltrú.
On Friday, August 30 there will be a concert by Los del Tonos, Can Raia Rock Band and Statuas de Sal, and the day after, theatre. The fiestas end on September 1 with the typical "festa pagesa" at the Pou d'en Rafals.
Complete Programme in Catalan.
