The event is held from July 30 to August 2 at the El Portón Municipal Estate in Alhaurín de la Torre, with Lole Montoya, Papa Levante, Parquesvr, VVV (Trippin’you) and Él Mató a un Police Motorizado among its main attractions.
Alhautor returns to Alhaurín de la Torre (Málaga) with four days in which flamenco, pop, rock, postpunk and electronic music will coexist. From this Thursday, July 30 to Sunday, August 2, the El Portón Municipal Estate will host a poster open to different generations, scenes and ways of updating popular music.
The programming will begin on Thursday with Lole Montoyaone of the essential voices of flamenco in recent decades, and Carmen Aviles. The dancer and creator has developed a stage language in which tradition dialogues with research and contemporary creation.
On Friday the return of Dad Lifta group that marked a stage of Spanish pop at the beginning of the century and that has returned to the stage more than two decades after its emergence. Delasrosas and Esteban Bove They will complete the second day using personal languages connected with popular music.
On Saturday the most acidic and rebellious side of Alhautor will be concentrated. Parksvr will arrive with Myths and legendsa fourth album in which the band abandons some of the absurd humor of its beginnings, but retains sarcasm, social criticism and an increasingly personal and melancholic look. Their mix of alternative rock, electronica, kraut and popular sounds has made them one of the most unpredictable groups on the state circuit. Next to them will be VVV (Trippin’you)a trio from Mostolá that has built its own language based on postpunk, dark electronica and the neobakala imagery. After publishing Mecharadiohave continued to expand their limits with songs like “Espadas en guadañas”, together with Erik Urano, where dubstep, witch house, suffocating environments and experimental rap come together. The combination of Parquesvr’s guitar sarcasm with the electronic drive and uncomfortable noise of VVV (Trippin’you) will make Saturday the sharpest day of the festival. The Sundays, Mondongo Boy and Rafffaella Cydé They will complete a night focused on some of the most restless expressions of the current underground.
on sunday He Killed a Motor Police Officer will lead the closing with its combination of distortion, expansive melodies and individual emotions converted into collective stories. The Argentine band maintains its last studio album Super Horrora work marked by sentimental communion with his followers and by his way of approaching uncertainty from the everyday epic. Cristina Len will bring its crossover between roots and electronics to El Portón. In TMLM and the subsequent project Martiagothe artist has brought the Castilian songbook closer to contemporary production, combining meditation and rage, rural tradition and urban intensity. An exercise in recovery that does not preserve folklore like a museum piece, but rather transforms it and returns it to the present. Will complete the day retro cassettealias of the Moroccan artist and collector Badreddine Haoutar. From an archive made up of thousands of North African tapes, he builds sessions in which he recovers gems of chaâbi, raï, rap, rock and gnawa music, mixed with processed guitars and electronic textures.
