VinaRock - the spanish mixture of rock with something else...

.
The seventeenth edition of Vina Rock will take place between the 28th and 30th of april in the heart of Castilla La Mancha. Right after my first steps at the last edition of the festival I knew I will have to visit it again.
 

In 2011 I was doing a tour of festivals is Spain, I liked the experience and decided that in 2012 I will visit more festivals in the Iberian peninsula. Initially the festival was supposed to last 3 days but after the confirmation of many artists the organizers decided to extend it to 4 days. As mentioned in the previous article this is one of the biggest rock festivals in Spain and it is not a surprise that the organizers managed to gather over 80 artists. They will perform on 5 stages named "Villarrobledo", "Legendary", "Metalika", "Babilonia" and "Vina Clon. Nice surprise are the contra-crisis measures - the tickets are half-priced until one week before the festival. And this is not another marketing scheme but real discount measurable with the prices from previous years. This has created big interest and we expect huge attendance The festival gives us the opportunity to hear legendary rock groups from Spain (like Rosendo, Los Suaves etc), ska and punk groups, as well as artists that don‘t really fit in the standard genders but presents us a unique musical experience. Some of the most recognized artists like Boikot, Iratxo, Eskorzo, La Pegatina, The locos , were presented in the previous article on the festival. My desire to present all of the interesting artists is hardly achievable in two or tree articles. As all things in live the best is to live it. No matter that sad conclusion I will try to present some of the artists that have made special impression on me. Ojos de Brujo - A well know band with constant international gigs.

The band consists of 9 artists each of them adding his unique flavour in their complex music. Some call it flamenco fusion ( a mixture of flamenco, hip-hop, World Music) but the reality is a little bit different. Typical for them are the animated videos and their strong social messages. By blending flamenco and rumba, grabbing handfuls of hip hop, dub and modern-sounding drum licks and bass lines the group makes forward-looking music that could definitely have been made only in Spain and probably only in Barcelona. Creating variety in beats, lyrics, and instruments only enhances their social and cultural message and reflects the modern and highly globalized society in which they perform.*
Some of my personal favourites are "Canteca de Macao". They describe them selfs as band that can make the crowd jump and then just for seconds make everybody emotional. Their music is a mixture of latin rhythms, flamenco, reggae, jazz, rock ... mediterranean sounds ... well see for your self. It is hard to skip the UK based Foreign Beggars. Their innovative music combines hip-hop with grime and dubstep. The band is established in 1996. In the biography they have 5 albums, projects with artists like Noisa, Beardyman, Jazzstepa as well as a hand full of european music awards. Obrint Pas - is a group that was gather in 1993 in Valencia. Year later they records a couple of tapes and started performing at festivals. A couple of years passed and they started recording albums. The album "La Fama" brought them on the international stage with gigs in Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Morocco and more. Their music combines hardcore with reggae, ska, folk. There is a huge camping positioned right next to the concert area where you can put your tent and enjoy the festival. It is also typical to find sound systems on various places where you can keep you spirit during the non-festival hours. So if i managed to win your interest why don‘t you have a look at the official program of the festival and start packing. * Quote from WikiPedia
