Posporo(s) 2017 / 2: Le Parody & BP Valenzuela
Still smoldering the embers left behind by the fire it ignited last June, Posporo(s) returns to the local stage this July to continue with the dialog between artists from Spain and the
Philippines through music, made possible by the Embassy of Spain and Instituto Cervantes de Manila with the support of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
The second concert of Posporo(s), set for July 15, offers us a sample of one of the undeniable currents that run through the Spanish music scene, which could be described as “neofolk”.
The revisiting of genres such as flamenco, cuplé or traditional songs and the borrowing of other traditions create a folkloric vision of a globalized world where identities are chosen. Between these two points appears the straight line of Le Parody that will tread the stage of Manila on the 15th of July. Le Parody goes from tropical rhythms, flamenco-like moments, Balkan trumpets and dab.
Le Parody is paired off with Bayang Barrios, who has established her career in singing original folk songs and stories with indigenous roots. Bayang also collaborated with Joey Ayala´s Ang Bagong Lumad and is considered a leading artist in both folk and world music in the Philippines.
