Yugofuturism presents: Los Sara Fontan (ES) + HALLI CRIGI (NL/ES)

Los Sara Fontan (ES)
In Ancient Greece, instrumental music was feared for its ability to push the listener into unrestrained and uncontrolled flights of fantasy. Clinging to this principle, LOS SARA FONTÁN decide to explore the irrational, not to use words and to break with the classical forms of production and reproduction.

Sara Fontán’s classical and contemporary violin and Edi Pou’s polyrhythmic energy shape LOS SARA FONTÁN. They don’t produce records for militancy: their terrain is the live performance, always physical, passionate, punk, always changing and permeable to the environment, stimulated by the doubt of whether it is possible to develop a musical career without following the productive routines of the industry.

Together they are able to create minimalist oasis, garages full of noise and oil, beaches where time expands, impassable sound walls, bases for the rapper who lives inside you, romantic cliffs or underwater acrobatics… giving freedom to the spectator to give free expression to their imagination.

Sara uses the violin and keyboard as a starting point, twisting them through electro-acoustic processes to develop a varied palette of sounds and invoke multiple natures. At her side, Edi Pou (half of ZA!, a reference in the European underground) takes up the challenge of converting percussion into melody and tensing the dynamics from the minuscule to the epic, breaking with the Western patterns of classical drumming.

HALLI CRIGI (NL/ES)
It is only on rare occassions that one may experience a live performance by the ever enigmatic audiovisual trio+ of Halli Crigi. Founded in 2020 during the recording of what would become their first album ‘Shinedown’ (Keroxen, 2021), the band has been pushing and pondering their own conceptions of music and improvising. The trio consists of FJ González Torres (guitar), Luka Schuurman (guitar) and Thomas van Nieuwenhoven (drums) but can be expanded with Alexandra Dragne (visuals) and David Knap (live sound). In 2023 the band featured on the 12” compilation ‘Keroxen Radar Vol.3’ and later that year they played at the label’s festival of the same name in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Their second studio album is currently in the making.
