From 7 June, music returns to Formentera plazas with ‘Música a les Places’

cartell 2021 musica a les placesEarlier today the Formentera Department of Culture and Festivals unveiled the summer 2021 programme for Música a les Places (Music in the Squares). In a renewed push to reactivate a crisis-hit sector and fresh off the initiative’s warm reception last year, organisers have put together a Covid-safe slate of concerts in the squares of es Pujols and Sant Francesc and on the promenade in la Savina. From world music and Latin tunes to blues, soul, rock, heavy metal and jazz, an array of musical genres will guarantee a lively mood.

Culture and festivities chief Susana Labrador explained, “The premise remains the same: cultural happenings, concerts, summer nights, islanders, tourists and public, outdoor spaces. The idea is to make music a natural part of the leisure time of Formentera’s summer crowd”. Similar to last year and barring additional rule changes, concerts will have limited capacity and audience members must stay seated and keep a safe distance.

La Savina
La Savina is in for yet another musical summer with Els Dilluns al Port (Mondays at the Port). 7 June to 27 September, live musical performances will liven up the marina promenade from 10.00pm.

Es Pujols
Starting 15 June and continuing till 21 September, Tuesday nights at 10.00pm, es Pujols’ Plaça d’Europa will welcome Música en Viu (Live Music), with acts booked by Formentera Musical.

On Thursdays the very same plaza will play host to World Music, including a performance from Música a les Places veteran, Antena Libre. Performances will start at 10.00pm and run 17 June to 21 October, except during a break in August.

Sant Francesc
19 June to 25 September, get ready a Saturday-night classic in Sant Francesc: 10.00pm performances by Formentera’s most beloved jazz outfit.

Collaborators
Música a les Places’ returning collaborators include Jazz & Co, Formentera Musical, Antena Libre, La Savina Neighbourhood Association, Balearic Port Authority and, considering a recently renewed partnership with the Consell, Estrella Galicia. Local government salutes Estrella Galicia for its longstanding support for musical and cultural initiatives in our country.
