An Interplanetary Night: Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti & Frank Rosaly: MESTIZX | Beatrice Sberna & Gabriel de Oliveira | Aquarius Zen Garden | Keep it Moving

A whirlwind of performances, this edition with Latin American undertones. Under the guise of An Interplanetary Night, Space Is the Place organizes spectacular evenings with multiple artists who are pushing boundaries and crossing borders. With its roots in jazz and improvised music, the program explores a variety of genres. This edition features sonic adventurers with a Latin American background, among others. The DJ crew Keep It Moving will set the mood with dub, grooves and experiment. IBELISSE GUARDIA FERRAGUTTI & FRANK ROSALY – MESTIZX They’re operating out of Amsterdam and their music is undeniably contemporary, emphasizing their Latin American backgrounds. Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti is a singer and performance artist from Bolivia. Frank Rosaly grew up in a Puerto Rican family and made name as a drummer in Chicago. Mestizx , their new album for the American label Nonesuch and International Anthem is a propulsive, intercultural and anti-colonial mix of avant-jazz, punk, cumbia, electronics and more. BEATRICE SBERNA & GABRIEL DE OLIVEIRA From the sinister lullaby ‘Satan <3’ to the provocative punk jazz of ‘Alternative Scene’: throughout the years Italian singer Beatrice Sberna and Brazilian guitarist Gabriel de Oliviera have created a stylistically varied range of songs to be released on their debut album. Influences from Italian cantautori and Brazilian folk are cheerfully blended together with the help of improvisers from all over the world—this concert will feature, among others, Alessandro Fongaro and Michael Vatcher. AQUARIUS ZEN GARDEN Don’t let their calming name fool you— Aquarius Zen Garden is an explosive electronic band consisting of Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti, Jochem van Tol and Jacob Maskell-Key. Their first performance was an improvised set at C.A.L.L. Festival at Plantage Dok last June. The trio creates layered sound sculptures, most of the time highly danceable, with up-tempo beats. KEEP IT MOVING FT. ANDY MOOR The Utrecht-based DJ crew Keep it Moving represents a passionate, community-driven energy. Through their internationally-oriented Saturday morning show at Stranded FM they channel a love for dub, jazz, warm grooves, other forms of experimental music, and most of all, care for one another.
