This year, Primavera Pro is putting its focus on the avant-garde. If there is one person who understands how to break trends, something that he has been doing for a long time, it is none other than John Waters. He has not only changed the face of cinema and literature, but he has also done it in the music sector through his award-winning spoken word and the soundtracks of his films. And who better than Samantha Hudson to accompany him and talk about how to pull the cliché of good musical taste to pieces?

When we talk about avant-garde, we always tend to think about what's happening in the US and Europe, but our focus also goes beyond the West. To see what's happening in Asia, Latin America and Africa, Chenta Tsai, Gabber Modus Operandi, RUI HO and Eastern Margins will talk about non-Westernized forms of rave, and Sama' Abdulhadi and Sassouki Salma will talk about frontiers and techno. In addition, to look into the future of the music sector, some of the record labels with the most advanced sounds, such as Nyege Nyege, Year0001 and SVBKULT, and the representatives from the online radio stations that stream in the future perfect: Femi Adeyemi (NTS), Kikelomo Oludemi (Radio Oroko), Elias Anastas (Radio Alhara) and Marta Salicrú (RPS), have been invited to the event.

In the four days of Primavera Pro at the CCCB, there will be more activities that seek to decrypt the future. There will be agents working in professions that are taking on new meaning within the industry: from music supervision, with Jen Malone (Euphoria), Ciara Elwis (I May Destroy You), Letizia Pacchioni (Mood) and Jonathan Cohen (Music booker on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon), to people who analyze how to enter music platforms successfully, like Soraya Brower.
