RUSÓ SALA

Pax means peace, in Latin. Aras refers to: 1. action of ploughing (ploughing peace); 2. altar (altar for Peace).
As long as man cultivates war, there will be women plowing peace. As an intimate altar, the singer-songwriter Rusó Sala and the multiinstrumentalist Míriam Encinas present PAXARAS, a live show that elegantly combines traditional music and sound experimentation, where we are invoked to reflect on freedom of movement and its limits, inspired by the flight of the bird (paxaro, in Sephardic).

A sound stained glass window that is born from the remains of al-Andalus and Sepharad scattered throughout the Mediterranean. Once again, music offers us a broader vision of our inside. As migratory birds, we will have the certainty of belonging to this land and all its landscapes.

Poliphony transcribed in space and bodies. On stage, 7 female voices with tenferness and courage. / female bodies rooted in the lascapes that make them up. Answered to the frenetic rhythm that unfolds us, La Figueral runs through slow sounds that re-visit tradition and burst into a stage present where space, performative action and light interact.

Listening to Rusó Sala reveals the sensation of having been immersed in aquamarine ocean. Her well seasoned guitar lifts the voice, light as a feather, at times sirenesque, who sings for those no longer with us and those yet to come, with the wild brushstrokes of tramuntana, beckoning us with each new dawn. The traditional flavours that emerge, slow-cooked, from Sala's musical cuisine, produce a deliciously intense experience of songs written by the Empordanese artist.
