4 and 11 October 2007For two nights, the Brotfabrik hosts the latest Catalan music, showcased by four of the country's
leading names: Nubla and �scar Briz (October 4), and Ant�nia Font and Lax'n'Busto
(October 11).

Nubla is, in fact, Luciana Carlevaro, a Barcelona artist fascinated by image, music, the theatre...
That is why Nubla is much more than just music; it is an artistic project resting on trip hop
foundations but which seeks to reach the audience's heart not only through sound, but also
through gesture, colour, texture, dream&
Carlevaro worked with Ojos de Brujo - now a famous
band - until 2003, when he decided to record his debut album, Voyeur, introducing his own personal language in which poetry and music combine.
The evening bill at the Brotfabrik also
includes �scar Briz, a Valencian composer who has taken myriad external influences to concoct
his own sound. Blending a vast array of instruments and musical effects, Briz creates an
extraordinary sound landscape, combining acoustic and electronic to produce a richly-nuanced
show in which both literary and musical elements are important.
On October 11 it is the turn of two of today's leading Catalan bands. Ant�nia Font has achieved
what many would have considered impossible: a break-through based on pop both powerful and
delicate, fresh, simple, personal and free from commercial slavery. Mature and open, Ant�nia
Font's creativity brings poetry to the pop music world; here are lyrics that explore complex
human emotions, madness, unbalanced personalities&
And from the fragility of Ant�nia Font to
the muscular music of Lax'n'Busto, now a classic amongst Catalan rock bands. Since they first
came to fame in the late-1980s, this Vendrell band have recorded ten albums, becoming a
reference on the Catalan music scene. Lax'n'Busto's latest album, Relax, was recorded in the USA
where they were in search of a powerful new sound.
