RELS B
Friday 15
The four letters of his nickname and the B hide a whole musical phenomenon that goes beyond the borders of Spain and the limits of the Atlantic Ocean. When Flakk Daniel sounds everyone jumps, shakes his head and choruses his verses and hooks. Rels B has let his classic Hip Hop evolve freely, following the ups and downs of his mood: good humour, relaxation, emotion and, above all, the celebration of the here and now, whether with his buddies or with his loves. Thus the music of the Mallorcan adds millions and millions of reproductions, either in his closest cuts to the R&B of the two thousand or in the most electronic and club beats. The Cara•B Festival will be a unique opportunity to see the Flakk Daniel face to face and discover the reason for his countless sold outs every time he goes on tour in Spain and Latin America.

NOVEDADES CARMINHA
Saturday 16
In the last few months Novedades Carminha have dedicated themselves to shooting hits like someone who shoots wooden sticks with a shotgun at fairground booths: with ease and vocation. But “Te quiero igual”, “El vivo al baile” and “Verbena”, which this year added millions of reproductions are part of a larger plan: to pave the way for the band’s fifth album, which will be released in February 2019 and will be presented throughout Spain and Latin America over the next year. However, their first stop will be at Festival Cara•B 2019.

PIMP FLACO & KINDER MALO
Friday 15
Two brothers for two very personal visions of what urban music is today. Pimp Flaco and Kinder Malo have been developing their career in parallel, looking for the points of contact between the darkest Trap, the saddest and most personal emotion, and the luminous Pop. Versioning Drake in songs like Yo Te Quería a Ti or Justin Biebier in Lo Siento, they managed to make a place for themselves in the scene since it was not yet such, and song after song have defended and expanded their radius of action to become a global phenomenon. Their way of dealing with music without prejudice has helped to open up new spaces in national urban music and create a meeting point for audiences eager for new flavours, colours and sensations.

SOLEÁ MORENTE & NAPOLEÓN SOLO
Saturday 16
Ole Lorelei is Soleá Morente’s second album, a collection of small jewels and not-so-small jewels halfway between pop elegance and flamenco spontaneity, produced by Alonso Díaz from Napoleón Solo. Sensuality and risk are the keys to this new way of looking at pop and flamenco in which Enrique Morente’s daughter has shown not only that she is not afraid to explore new paths, but also that she enjoys getting into them.

CAROLINA DURANTE
Saturday 16
Carolina Durante are the answer to several questions arising from so many other conjectures: What would happen if the boring shoegaze of the 90’s was insufflated again with a Mary Chain spirit and even some David Summers lyrics? Is it possible to get a posh girl humming a song that laughs at her aesthetic and political choices by achieving hymns that are above such disparities? Is it viable to make a sentimental pop that is neither silly nor embarrassing? How is it that in these trap times there is some kids who are able to make the youth put their attention back on the same as ever pop guitars?

STICKY M.A.
Friday 15
That’s what rap sounds like today. After shining on Agorazein’s album with C. Tangana, and documenting his artistic evolution by means of mixtapes, his latest work, Las Pegajosas Aventuras de Sticky M.A., is perceived as a peak in his journey and has undoubtedly become one of the mixtapes of the year, a work in which the Spaniard has managed to unite the essence of his project with the most contemporary currents of rap in the United States. The result? Psychedelia, emotiveness and grace on vaporous instrumentalists. After his Pegajoso Tour through all the Peninsula, the performance in the Festival Cara•B will be an ideal occasion to feel in our skin one of his adventures: smoke, alcohol and sweat.

CECILIO G
Cecilio G is one of the main people responsible for how things are the way they are. Cecilio G’s music speaks for itself. Transgressor from the beginning, with his music he was not satisfied with subverting the most orthodox forms of rap, but later he did the same with the trap, and began a journey without return to a universe of his own, where a kind of Gucci Mane with Punk attitude reconfigures the shapes and colors of the streets of Bogatell and uses them as a stage to tell us his rallies. OG like no other, Cecilio G has also been responsible for bringing to light many of the main names of the scene when they were not yet known. The Cara•B Festival will be an unbeatable occasion to see Cecilio G in all his splendour, playing at home and with renewed energies.

LA ZOWI
Friday 15
Strict, direct, and with a sound out specifically from the street. The Zowi is one of the mothers of all this and is noticed every time it releases a new song. Short sentences, jargon, and a unique ability to create with two brushstrokes costumbrist images of everyday life, either in the neighbourhood or in a trap house. La Zowi’s songs have awakened passions beyond the immediate surroundings of the trap and have attracted the attention of artists such as Zora Jones, along with whom she has published songs as dazzling as Money Hoe, Bitch Te Quemas, or Obra de Arte. Her performance at Festival Cara•B will come shortly after she releases her long-awaited debut mixtape, an unbeatable opportunity to immerse ourselves fully in the world of La Zowi.

CUPIDO
Saturday 16
Cupido are born from the union between the Madrid group Solo Astra and the national urban music star Pimp Flaco. An artistic bromance that just starts this year because Cupid’s pop bedroom sizzling could not be more 2018, the year in which dozens of young people around the world decided to turn their cardiac arrhythmias and bedroom sleeplessness into a musical genre. Unexplained palpitations and tremors, internal tingling and loose laughter, excitement and hyperventilation… Don’t be alarmed, all these symptoms are normal when you hear No Sabes Mentir, Cupid’s first arrow. The explanation is simple, obvious and as old as time: you have just fallen in love with a song… with which it is impossible not to fall in love.

CUPIDO
LA PLATA
Saturday 16
La Plata draws from the pop of the New Wave and the sounds of the Valencia of the 90’s. Emulating the dance music of the discotheques of that time, La Plata relies on addictive pop songs, direct and without concessions. The beginnings of this group go back to 2015, when Diego Escriche released the song Un atasco. Then Miguel J. Carmona, Patricia Ferragud, Salvador Frasquet and María Gea joined the project. Their first reference is Un Atasco EP (2017), produced by Carlos Hernández, producer, among others, of Triángulo de Amor Bizarro, Los Planetas or Disco Las Palmeras. Its pop impregnated with nerve promises to wreak havoc in the 5th edition of the Festival Cara•B.

PEDRO LADROGA
Friday 15
His countless number of songs and mixtapes are an indispensable pillar on which the current scene rests. From the beginning, Pedro LaDroga has built a personal universe that draws on the Vaporwave and the different forms of creativity on the Internet and that, with each work, he perfects and reformulates. His endless source of creativity and his hyperactivity recording has led him to explore all those sounds that have influenced him, be it the dark electronics of the Witch House or the old school rap of Memphis. It is undeniable that Pedro LaDroga represents a unique personality within the scene and an unlimited spring of ingenuity. A spring that, apparently, never seems to dry up.

PUTOCHINOMARICÓN
Saturday 16
Internet and pop nostalgia. Putochinomaricón’s music is the perfect definition of what music is like today, a mixture of disparate influences that crystallize in projects as exciting as this: processed voices, ultra-digital sounds mixed with synth pop and DIY videos as special as their own music. Putochinomaricón tells us about the Wifi, the posing in social networks and all those small little everyday things that bother all of us. In short, Putochinomaricón tells us about the day to day of those of us who have grown up within the Internet and, due to so much jumping from link to link, we have forgotten any frontier and genre in art.

MELENAS
Saturday 16
Melenas was born on summer nights in 2016 in Nébula, the mythical dive of Pamplona where everything happens. The pop, punk, garage and psychedelia melodies of their first album brilliantly capture the essence of the group, crystallizing the spontaneous magic that only a few debuts can have, with a resplendent energy and musicality. They will be in charge of making sure that on the second day of the Cara•B Festival all those present shake their hair in the wind.

ALBANY
Friday 15
“Tú te crees el uno pero antes esta el cero” (“You think you’re the one, but first there’s the zero”), sings Albany. She is it: music that is born from so inside that it doesn’t keep space to think about how the songs reach the public. With Lil Peep and Los Chunguitos in her DNA, Albany creates songs dyed black with a very special glow, be it Trap, Boombap or Reggaeton. Her concerts become a refuge where we celebrate in community and dance while we cry all over. The Cara•B Festival will be a unique opportunity to do it together.

BRONQUIO DJ SET
Saturday 16
Under the alias Bronquio is Santiago Gonzalo from Jerez, a young punk-tradition musician who began his career at the head of cursed bands of the Andalusian hardcore scene. His work as a producer ended up pushing him into the world of laptops and sound cards, always keeping a dissident attitude. An activist of rhythm, his last incarnation as Bronquio becomes in the trap scene what The Prodigy has been in the world of drum n bass: a 180-degree turn. The Bronquio experience is pure force, a tide of beats and textures that borders on the clubbing culture, penetrating to the darker side of the dance floors.

EL BLOQUE DJ SET
Friday 15
The best radiography of the current urban scene. The team at El Bloque has managed to create a television programme that respects both artists and the public and speaks their own language. The unorthodox and innovative forms of the program are also reflected in their DJ sets, where Reggaeton, Trap, Electronics and all sorts of genres from the periphery are mixed to define what they really are: a program that has become an active part of the urban landscape. Just when they turn a year old and prepare the launch of the second season, El Bloque will visit the Cara-B Festival, don’t let them spoil you.
