Breath-taking vocal lines connect this double concert, curated by our New Maker Fuensanta. The singer and bassist will open the concert solo, while inviting a number of special guests to the stage. The second act is the exceptional singer Genevieve Artadi, who has made waves with the duo Knower with drum giant Louis Cole, who will also appear on stage tonight.

Fuensanta Méndez is singer, double bassist, and composer born in Veracruz, Mexico, and based in Amsterdam. She fuses atmospheric playing with poetry and folklore, in unique and innovative ways. With her vocals, bass, and poetry she explores themes of revolution, love and myth. Tonight she will present an atmospheric new solo program, followed by her upcoming release, ‘Principio del Fuego’, on GroundUP Music, the label founded by Snarky Pupppy-leader Michael League.

Genevieve Artadi will perform songs from her new album Forever Forever op Brainfeeder Records. It was inspired by her love for the people in her life, and the contrary feelings it evokes. The colorful songs are rooted in jazz and the avant pop of Talking Heads and Stereolab. The album was recorded in Mexico with, among others, keyboardist Chiquita Magic and drummer Louis Cole.
