This one-hour concert celebrates the rhythms, songs and dances of Guadeloupe and Haiti. The first part is devoted to Guadeloupe and the Gwo-ka tradition, featuring rhythms such as the Léwoz, Toumblak, Mendé, Graj and Mass à Saint-Jean. On stage: René Burin on the boula drum, Roger Raspail on the makè drum, Annette Nicolas on vocals and chacha, and singer Gildas Lutin, with her powerful yet gentle voice. The audience is invited to parade and dance. The second part is dedicated to Haiti, with the Yanvalou, Rabordaille, Rara and Petro. Master drummer Kébyésou performs the great classics of Haitian Vodou, while dancer Nerlande Bazelais draws the audience into her spellbinding dances, so everyone can share in the energy of this tradition.

Originally created at the Bourse de Commerce in Paris, Dancehall Weather brings together Argentine choreographer Cecilia Bengolea and her collaborators Craig Black Eagle (Jamaica) and Nika Mad Spirit (Ukraine) in a performance where dance and video archives intertwine. Drawing from Jamaican dancehall — which Cecilia Bengolea sees as a powerful medium for healing — the performance opens with an Early Settings session, a musical moment of reflection and collective energy, before giving way to a liberating shared dance.

Pastora Filigrana is a lawyer, trade unionist, Sevillian and mixed-race Roma. In 2020, she published the book El pueblo gitano contra el sistema mundo. Unas reflexiones desde un activismo feminista y anticapitalista, in which she argues that the persecution of the Roma people is linked to their forms of community resistance through forms of cooperation and mutual support, and their opposition to adapting to what she calls "wage blackmail".

Antonio R. Montesinos has been working for years on a project that unfolds metaphorically like a journey. “Relax N-340” could be understood as the culminating journey in which he seeks to understand himself within the sphere of what is called the “relax style”, a set of imaginary constructions and creative productions (architecture, recreational spaces, graphic design and infrastructure) associated with leisure and tourism on the Costa del Sol since the mid-twentieth century.
