MAS I MAS FESTIVAL 2023

Exactly twenty years ago, a festival was born in Barcelona in August, basically in a club format and with a range of genres and styles unthinkable in other big events. What seemed like a temerity at the time has ended up being a classic on the city’s cultural agenda. This year, for example, with more than 150 performances between 27 July and 2 September at the Mas i Mas venues – Jamboree, Tarantos (or Sala 2), Moog and the brand new Sala 3 – and at the Palau de la Música and Paral-lel 62.

CLOSING NIGHT Mas i Mas Festival'23

ZELESTE'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH THE BARCELONA ART ORCHESTRA AND TRIBUTE TO JORDI BONELL

Toti Soler, Carles Benavent, Joan Albert Amargós, Xavier Batllés, Perico Sambeat & Carme Canela.

Mas i Mas wanted to dedicate the Closing of its 20th Festival to the 50th Anniversary of the opening of Sala Zeleste and with it, to the birth of one of the most important musical movements in our country: l’Ona Laietana.

On this occasion we will be able to see two special concerts that vindicate the legacy of the Sala Zeleste and the vindication of Layetana music and its musicians as fundamental parts and worthy of recognition within Catalan culture.

Thus, we will have a tribute concert to our beloved guitarist, Jordi Bonell. A project devised by Ramon Olivares and carried out by Victor Cortina in the production and Jordi Gaspar in the musical direction that has great musicians such as Perico Sambeat, Carme Canela, Vicenç Solsona or Dani Pérez, closely linked to the career of a guitarist such as Bonell, who was part of the skeleton of l’Ona Laietana in groups like Música Urbana or Secta Sónica along with Gato Pérez.
