Jaume Pla (La Bisbal d'Empordà, 1977) stopped the Mazoni project in early 2024. He needed to rethink the future. He didn't rule out continuing to make music, but he was opening the door to artistic expression through literature. A year and a half later, Mazoni's pop melodies are spread across the eleven songs on the album he is releasing with the BankRobber label this Friday: Banderas por daltónicos. He will premiere it at the Mercat de Música Viva de Vic on September 17th, with Aleix Bou on drums, Natán Arbó on bass, and Emili Bosch on guitar. "A very classic lineup," admits Pla, happy to be back on stage.

"We are three people from Vic who have been closely linked to the Mercat since we were very young, as audiences, as musicians, and now as artistic directors," explains Joan Rial, one of the three new artistic directors of the Vic Live Music Market (MMVV). Rial, along with Jordi Casadesús and Rubén Pujol, won the competition to take charge of the strategic fair. The three detailed this Wednesday the program for the 37th edition of the MMVV, which will take place from September 17 to 21. It will open with a performance by Andalusian artist Rocío Márquez and will include some seventy concerts by The Ludwig Band, Maria Arnal, Mazoni, Sidonie, Maika Makovski, Hadas, Ferran Palau, Biznaga, Lorena Álvarez, Triquell, 31 Hunger and Ouineta, in addition to the premiere of Durruti, I love you, a musical by Guillem Caballero and writer Tuli Márquez about the anarchist leader Buenaventura Durruti (1896-1936).
