The concert that opens Primavera Sound is usually a nod from the festival to a local artist. If last year it was Llum who broke the ice, this year it was Ouineta who was in charge of sounding the first notes of Wednesday's session, also free as a gesture to the city. The singer, dancer, and choreographer defended her danceable pop with urban touches in front of an audience of fans – mostly female – who sang the songs by heart, which suggests that this first performance is not so much a vehicle to make herself known to the international audience as a way to celebrate that the Catalan scene, even if at the ungodly hour of mid-afternoon, exists. The highlight of her performance was when Mushkaa appeared to sing Nois" together. 

Guitarricadelafuente, a loving diminutive of "guitar" in Aragon combined with his first surname (Álvaro Lafuente Calvo), presents his new album Spanish leather (Sony) on a tour that took him to the Alma Festival in Barcelona on July 2nd and 3rd. One of the tasks that attendees usually do when they attend a concert of this type is to learn the lyrics and familiarize themselves with the melodies of the songs. I can confirm that the audience in the Plaza Mayor of Poble Espanyol had done their homework: they accompanied the singer throughout the hour and a half concert, completely devoted to the cause. Lately, it's quite common—although it still surprises me—for the audience to record the entire concert with their cell phones and watch it through the small screen, when they have the artist right in front of them, in the flesh. Okay, let's get to the point.
