Voll-Damm Festival Internacional de Jazz de Barcelona: Makaya McCraven

For the first time in Barcelona, ​​Makaya McCraven. He defines himself as a "beat scientist" and others have described him as "visionary of sound" or have referred to him as not "your everyday jazz drummer". Indeed, with jazz as an incorruptible base, McCraven has explored a very particular way that takes him to all kinds of sonic borders, such as rhythm and blues and hip hop. Jazz to listen moving without stopping, not sitting in the chair (that is, as in the old days), celebrating that life is multiple and enormous, and that music is one of the fiercest emotions at our disposal. "When you're in a room where the music is wonderful, your hair stands on end and people scream and scream, this is magical," explained McCraven himself in Rolling Stone magazine about how he approaches his hypnotic concerts. «No false note will spoil this feeling. If you take risks, people respond to you." Let's risk it, then. Welcome, Makaya McCraven.
