For more than three decades, she has been one of the leading double bassists and composers in national and international jazz. She has led her own projects, shared the stage with some of the genre's biggest names, and this Saturday she presents in Port d'Andratx (Studio Weil) Cerebro en equipo. Neurociencia para el desempeño y la motivación en Música (y otras Artes), a book that combines her artistic experience with years of research on the brain, creativity, and motivation.

The new edition of Incajazz will turn the capital of Raiguer into a meeting point for jazz lovers during the four Sundays of July. The event returns with a program of great artistic quality that combines Mallorcan talent, international projection, and innovative proposals, consolidating it as one of the benchmark musical events of the summer in Mallorca. The concerts will take place every Sunday at 9:00 PM and will offer a journey through different jazz languages, from new experimental trends to dialogue with traditional music, while including some of the most outstanding names on the international scene.

At the Llubí Theatre, there was that "let's see what happens" vibe. Five musicians who had never met before, a stage, and zero rush to label anything. Leïla Duclos (vocals and guitar), Camille Bertault (vocals), Enric Fuster (drums), Fady Farah (piano), and Joan Garcias (double bass) came out with the only clear idea that mattered: to listen to each other and play.

Geometrical Sardine took to the stage with the natural ease of those who know their world is also a shared game. And here, the images of Toni Cobos, the visual artist we know as Hijo Espectro, have much to say: they are not simply a backdrop but an engine that propels the music to another place. Roca summed it up clearly: "They are 50% of the show." And yes, they are. The live performance gains depth when everything breathes at once: lights, textures, noises, and silence.

After the success of the first edition, the Manacor Jazz Festival returns with a program that includes big names in current music such as Salvador Sobral, Benji Habichuela and Caramelo de Cuba, Among many others, the Manacor natives Jorra Santiago and Roger Pistola will also perform as a duet on Saturday, September 27th, in the Plaza del Rector Rubí. Pistola, who says he saw one of the best concerts of his life at the first edition of the festival, held just under a year ago, acknowledges that his relationship with jazz has changed over the years. "Before completing the degree, I wasn't very interested in jazz; it made me sleepy. But studying helped me learn new skills and overcome my fear of improvisation," he says.
