Marco Mezquida will do a double this year at the festival—a triple, if we count the concert with Andrea Motis last April—after his long-awaited meeting with Michel Camilo at Palau, the Menorcan pianist will present his new project and album: Tornado. 

In addition, with new music written expressly for the two artists who accompany him—Japanese musician Masa Kamaguchi, and Catalan drummer Ramon Prats—he brings a palette of resources and an infinite musical imagination. 

And why call the project Tornado?  Because it refers to the weather phenomena that Mezquida has experienced on his trips to Japan, and because it is a word that fits with the "more virulent, free, passionate" energy that the pianist imagines for that trio, "with oases of peace that contrast,” in the words of the musician himself.

 "A proposal," Mezquida adds, “ in which one can let oneself go and navigate the storm until calm returns."
