An Interplanetary Night: Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti & Frank Rosaly: MESTIZX | Beatrice Sberna & Gabriel de Oliveira | Aquarius Zen Garden | Keep it Moving ft Andy Moor

Under the guise of An Interplanetary Night, Space Is the Place organizes spectacular evenings with multiple artists who are pushing boundaries and crossing borders. With its roots in jazz and improvised music, the program explores a variety of genres. This edition features sonic adventurers with a Latin American background, among others. The DJ crew Keep It Moving will set the mood with dub, grooves and experiment.

IBELISSE GUARDIA FERRAGUTTI & FRANK ROSALY – MESTIZX
They’re operating out of Amsterdam and their music is undeniably contemporary, emphasizing their Latin American backgrounds. Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti is a singer and performance artist from Bolivia. Frank Rosaly grew up in a Puerto Rican family and made name as a drummer in Chicago. Mestizx , their new album for the American label Nonesuch and International Anthem is a propulsive, intercultural and anti-colonial mix of avant-jazz, punk, cumbia, electronics and more.

BEATRICE SBERNA & GABRIEL DE OLIVEIRA
From the sinister lullaby ‘Satan <3’ to the provocative punk jazz of ‘Alternative Scene’: throughout the years Italian singer Beatrice Sberna and Brazilian guitarist Gabriel de Oliviera have created a stylistically varied range of songs to be released on their debut album. Influences from Italian cantautori and Brazilian folk are cheerfully blended together with the help of improvisers from all over the world—this concert will feature, among others, Alessandro Fongaro and Michael Vatcher.

AQUARIUS ZEN GARDEN
Don’t let their calming name fool you— Aquarius Zen Garden is an explosive electronic band consisting of Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti, Jochem van Tol and Jacob Maskell-Key. Their first performance was an improvised set at C.A.L.L. Festival at Plantage Dok last June. The trio creates layered sound sculptures, most of the time highly danceable, with up-tempo beats.

KEEP IT MOVING FT. ANDY MOOR
Keep it Moving is a translocal crew devoted to the finer aspects of music and they let warm grooves meet with ice-cold electronics. The DJs from the KIM crew will be playing alongside the one and only Andy Moor, aka DJ Andy Ex. His free-jazz DJing attitude spans genres from hip-hop to punk, Ethio-jazz to dub and dancehall, gqom to cumbia, and beyond.
