The Sadies in Barcelona
It seems indisputable that, since the beginning of the trend known as freak-folk, inaugurated with outstanding talents as Devendra Banhart (primarily responsible for the revaluation of the first album of Vashti Bunyan), CocoRosie and Joanna Newsom, one of the most sensitive and revolutionary projects of independent music of this century, that was born as the return to the presence of traditional, roots, folk. It´s like if somehow the tear characteristic of alternative music had been replaced by a deep melancholy lyrical that finds its best expression in traditional forms of music. Reviewing the lists of the best music journals, the presence of the great works by artists like PJ Harvey, Bill Callahan, Gilliam Welsh, Fleet Foxes, Josh T Pearson, Bon Ivers, Wilco, Jonathan Wilson, The Jayhawks, and The Black Keys, to name just a few names, all of them in one way or another are directly related to traditional music, be it country, blues, folk and bluegrass. More than one critic has associated this return to roots, with its varied, exciting and innovative twists- a need for truth and authenticity increasingly urgent in a world characterized by the increasing commodification of experience resulting from the use of dominant social networks and mass media. Truth and authenticity that would also have to do with the will and the urge to talk about things that have always care of (love, melancholy, longing, death, time …), this limited set of issues and metaphors are so limited that perhaps could loosely be counted with the fingers, which form infinite variations according to Borges the universe of human creation.

Elliot Murphy in Barcelona
The acclaimed first album by Elliot Murphy, who will give one of his endearing and intense concerts in the Sala Bikini in Barcelona on March 10 (http://www.bikinibcn.com/en/concerts/_mes:03, day: 10, year: 2012 /) bore the name Aquashow in homage to his heritage and the business of the same name his father had in the fifties on the site of the World Fair held in New York , the hometown of singer, actor, journalist, poet and novelist, in 1939. Murphy´s childhood memories are compounded by the diver clowns, jugglers, comedians and swimmers a la Esther Williams, that he saw almost every day in this wonderful outdoor Art Deco theater that vibrated with the music of the great Duke Ellington. Another decisive factor was the Sky Club, his father´s following business, located not far from where Lindbergh took off on his legendary voyage, (the transatlantic aviation feat) where he specially remembers the legendary musical evenings and dance halls where he learned to love bands like The Seeds, The Ronettes and Jay and the American. Although his first band, The Rapscallion, wonThe Battle of the Bands hosted by the State of New York in 1966 when he was not yet 18, Murphy began writing songs four years later on the streets of Europe, where he led a bohemian life and met Federico Fellini, who gave him a small role in his disturbing and magnificent film Rome. By then Dylan´s influence and post-Cale Velvet were already noticeable so he returns to America with Aquashow becoming one of the most successful artists of the first half of the seventies. As the growing success decreased, his...Free-Scoot Paris
