Nastallat merges bot dancing and electronics in his debut, 'Every house, every life'

PalmThe Catalan artist Laia Rius, who leads the musical project Nastallat, presented this Wednesday in Palma her proposal Cada casa, cada vida, a work that fuses electronic music with ball de bot with the aim of bringing tradition to new scenic spaces and audiences. The initiative opts for a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional music, conceived especially for live performance and aimed at generating a collective experience around dance, the artist reported at the presentation.

"This project wants to provide an excuse to dance in contexts where it might not be usual," Rius has stated, who will premiere the live performance of the album on the occasion of Acampallengua. Nastallat arises from the combination of two key influences in the artist's career: electronic music and traditional dance.

As he has commented, the album focuses on the ball de bot as a creative starting point, understood not as an element to be recovered, but as a living cultural expression that adapts to new languages. "We are not here to recover anything, traditional music is already alive; we simply talk about it from our language, which is electronic music," affirmed Rius, who claims an updated vision of folklore far from "purely conservationist" approaches.
