Today the Formentera Office of Culture presented the summer 2022 programme for Music in the Squares [Música a les Places]. The classic format of concerts in the squares of Sant Ferran, Es Pujols, Sant Francesc and the promenade of La Savina will return from next week. The ambiance will be imbued with diverse musical styles, from world and Latin music to blues, soul, rock, heavy metal and jazz.

Susana Labrador, councillor of culture and festivals, expressed her satisfaction because "after two years in which Music in the Squares was marked by restrictions stemming from the pandemic, in 2022 we want to see Formentera's town squares as we're used to seeing them in summer: with good rhythms and music to enliven the atmosphere".

La Savina

Monday nights in La Savina are all about Mondays at the Port. From 20 June to 12 September and starting at 10.00pm, prepare for live musical performances that turn up the heat in the Marina.

Es Pujols

Es Pujols' Plaça de Europa hosts World Music, where the featured performers are Música a les Places veterans Antena Libre. Save for a month-long break in August, performances are scheduled every Thursday from 16 June to 20 October.

Sant Ferran

17 June to 23 September, every Friday from 10.00pm, it's the return of a Formentera summertime classic, as Plaça de l'Església in Sant Ferran welcomes Live Music [Música en Viu]. All summer long, count on Musical Formentera to deliver the goods and bring a festive atmosphere.

Sant Francesc

And Saturdays in the Plaça de la Constitució, the legendary Jazz in the Square [Jazz a la Plaça] will bring performances from Formentera's most endearing jazz outfit. Concerts run 18 June to 24 September, from 10.00pm.

Collaborators

Once again this year, Music in the Squares collaborators include Jazz & Co, Musical Formentera, Antena Libre, the Neighbourhood Association of La Savina and the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands. In addition, every two years the Consell signs an agreement with Estrella Galicia to support this musical and cultural initiative.
