📖 Musical dialogue between experimental folklore and intimate pop

ÖLIVIAS, a duo formed by Clàudia Balletbò and Isabel Archs, has been developing a project since 2020 at the crossroads of poetry, oral tradition, and experimental sound. Following releases such as Antich Ventura, Clamare, and their debut album Que baixi el cel, they present the first part of their upcoming record, Després de tot, demà, which reflects on extinction and its social and environmental impacts.

Icelandic singer-songwriter RAKEL presents music built around intimate vocals, acoustic instrumentation, and subtle electronic layers. After releasing her EP Nothing Ever Changes and her debut album a place to be on Ólafur Arnalds' OPIA Community imprint, she visits Barcelona with support from the Liveurope platform, co-funded by the European Union's Creative Europe programme.

🎶 The Afers series and emerging talent

The Afers series presents close musical encounters at La CINC, pairing a local artist with a European peer who share common musical ground. An initiative designed to discover fresh voices within the contemporary music scene.

✨ An evening of poetry, acoustic warmth, and sonic experimentation in Poble-sec.
