Book Clubbing #8: Microfestivales y otros escenarios posibles amb Nando Cruz

There is as much music as there are ways to live it. Come back to Book Clubbing, the reading club of La Capsa, where songs, albums, concerts, tours and festivals, in addition to being listened to, are also read. During eight sessions, which will correspond to the reading of eight different books, we will try to compose a general view of the various ways there are to write about music. From autobiographies to oral history accounts, passing through essays or criticism. MICROFESTIVALES Y OTROS ESCENARIOS POSIBLES (NANDO CRUZ) Human beings have organized themselves to enjoy music since immemorial times. Nevertheless, in the last three decades the leisure industry has turned musical gatherings into increasingly colossal, massified and powerful events, to the extent of generating the deceptive sensation that they are the only option for listening to live music. It is not like that. In Spain, hundreds of spaces and collectives promote human-scale dates where music preserves its protagonism and capacity to generate community. After his book "Macrofestivales", Nando Cruz shows us the other side of the coin at a time when the big live industry shows as never before its neoliberal and predatory instinct. This second edition of Book Clubbing has been designed and will be guided by Eva Sebastián. Born in Sants, she studied Audiovisual Communication at the UPF. She managed to get the Blog Europa grant, which took her to work at Quan arribin els marcians of TV3. She continued her career with digital content at Vice, Playground and Indiespot, and currently combines jobs in different media such as El Nacional, Mondo Sonoro, El Confidencial, Acero, Código Nuevo, Buzzfeed, Playz and Revers. If you look for her, you will surely find her at some event with live music, from self-managed venues to the last festival. We don't think of a better guide on this reading path :-) REGISTRATIONS AND BOOK COLLECTION Registrations are free and will be open throughout the course (you don't have to come for the whole course, you can sign up for the books that suit you best).
