Joel Sarakula

Sala La Nau Carrer d'Àlaba 30, 08005 Barcelona
Looking at a contemporary world through vintage glasses, Joel Sarakula's music draws on a rich musical and visual palette inspired by the 1970s, with influences from soft-rock, funk and disco, which he filters to adapt to our darkest times without losing hope.
The Australian-UK artist is a composer who has traveled the world in search of his muse, going through everything from being a victim of car theft in the Caribbean to performing in the remote fishing villages of Norway, to the dive bars of Europe and the United States.
His albums Companionship (2020), Love Club (2018), The Imposter (2015) and The Golden Age (2013) have amassed generous UK and European radio play and have earned him attention from numerous media outlets, including The New York Times, The Independent, The Irish Times, Rolling Stone Germany and El País.
Sarakula is a fixture on the UK and European festival and club circuit, having appeared on the official line-ups of SXSW, Primavera, The Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City, Blue Balls (Lucerne), Blackisback (Madrid), V-ROX (Vladivostok, Russia) and Reeperbahn Festival (Hamburg), as well as performances at London’s Scala and Jazz Cafe and Amsterdam’s Melkweg. Always international, Sarakula tours with bands from each country he plays in: a band from Barcelona for Spain, a band from Berlin for Germany, etc. This intercultural exchange evokes the golden age of the 1960s and 1970s, when American soul and blues artists did the same.
