Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay celebrate twenty years of playing on the slopes. Behind him are three impeccable albums, historic hits and a commitment to his unwavering musical intuition.

Deap Vallythe blues punk duo from Los Angeles, will visit our country as part of their farewell tour, in which they also present the new edition of “Sistrionix” (Self-released, 24).
From the margins of the system, and with the spirit of those who are back from everything, the hard bars of Jarfaiter. Quite a filibuster of rhyme that again demonstrates in “I'm nobody” (Self-published / DDB Music, 24) its enormous value.
“People Who Aren't There Anymore” (4AD/Popstock!, 24) is the seventh album by North Americans Future Islands. A work that is declared musically continuous, clinging to its sentimental high-voltage electronic pop, although lyrically it stands as a chronicle of the breakup of its vocalist Samuel T. Herring with the Swedish actress and model Julia Ragnarsson.
Jairo Zavala continues with the tireless musical journey that entails Depedro, his most ambitious and personal musical project. Just published “A perfect place” (Calaverita Records, 24), ten new songs as friendly as they are varied.

However, the weight becomes a little lighter if it is an artist like Carlos Sadnessthat shows “Magical realism” (Sony, 24). We met on one of the terraces of La Central del Raval in Barcelona, in an intimate and sunny garden, like a storybook oasis in the middle of the smoke and the city.
