Barcelona In The Round V: Tori Sparks + Marga Mbande + Inma Gomes

Expand

Get ready for a very special live music experience! American singer-songwriter Tori Sparks brings Nashville to Barcelona, with her fifth "in the round" concert. This kind of show is typical of the Nashville songwriter scene, but completely unknown in Barcelona: it features three individual singer-songwriters, who take the stage together and trade off performing their original songs in an acoustic format. Each turn is called a “round.”

Sometimes the performers are friends and collaborators, sometimes they’re strangers, meeting onstage for the first time. Spontaneous collaborations, audience participation, the story behind the song, premieres of brand-new compositions — in these concerts, anything can happen and there are always surprises. It’s the most stripped-down, exposed, basic format for an artist to showcase his or her music — just one instrument and one voice — and is an opportunity to hear to your favorite artists share their music in an intimate setting while simultaneously discovering other talented musicians. 

This in-the-round show is also special because it reunites three of the protagonists from the 2020 documentary, 37 Grados: urban, soul and Afropop diva Marga Mbande; versatile experimental electronica artist Inma Gomes; and Tori Sparks, with her unique blend of rock, blues, and flamenco fusion.

In order to respect social distancing and COVID prevention measures, this concert will be presented in a streaming format with a limited live audience. The event will be broadcast live on the online platform BeyourSound, a new initiative that was born of the desire to encourage live music and provide support to local artists. Tickets are available on the event website.
