And the Sonar: now with more space, more dancing -activity associated so far with nighttime programming- and a change that the North Americans Metro Area and the Norwegians Lindstron and Todd Terje have helped a lot. The organizers had already foreseen it: with more square meters, artists with greater pull could be programmed in daylight hours, which for years had hosted the most experimental programming. It has been proven in the concert of the French composer and singer Sébastien Tellier (in the picture), whose atrabiliary figure has been a magnet for his compatriots, very abundant among the several thousand people gathered at the SonarVillage, who have had their corresponding session of psychedelic funky and eighties rhythms.
Sébastien has been much more fluid than in his recent visit to the Apolo room in Barcelona, where his messianic message of love and universal hedonism failed to penetrate due to the pastyness of his speech. Today he has been more specific, although he has not separated from his beer can (from the sponsoring company, of course) or his arrow guitar. To the Brooklyn duo of Morgan Geist and Darsham Jesrani, known as Metro Area, they have had to sweat. Like the hundreds of spectators who have gathered on the SonarDome stage, a covered space, bathed in skylight light, but very heated by the elegant electronics of this couple who have brought out the best of themselves with such sublime themes, and classics. , like "Miura" or "Orange alert".
Another great protagonist has been Mikki Blanco, an exponent of the so-called queer rap. A transvestite when it comes out of his nose, he has offered his masculine aesthetic face: dressed in conventional and huge yellow basketball shorts and bare chest.
Until next Sunday 16 the Sonar will offer more than 140 performances of electronic and advanced music, and this edition is expected to exceed 100.000 spectators.
