Amazing Peruvian Folk, Noise, Electronica + Local Bands

■ ISABEL HUAYANAY
Isabel Huayanay is a Peruvian harpist and singer. Her vocal timbre represents a typical vocal style which is commonly practiced by female Andean singers in Huancavelica, in the Andean highlands. Huancavelica is the place of origin of folkloric traditions such as the 'Tusujs' or 'Danzantes de Tijeras', which translates to 'scissors dancers'. These are ancient cultural practices of resistance that survived the colonial era. Isabel masters different Andean styles of traditional celebrations like her ancestors and harpist family members before her. Her appearance at the Aloardi Festival is a significant example of how rural Andean cultures are integrated in the Peruvian urban societies, and that of Lima in particular.

■ TICA
Tica (which means ‘flower’ in Quechua language) emerged in 2003 from the vibrant El Rimac and Comas districts in Lima. Its members Fabiola Vasquez and Chrs Galarreta were previously active in influential bands such as DiosMeHaViolado, Evamuss and Lapolarina. With their peculiar mix of dreamy pop and noise Tica quickly caught the attention of the Peruvian underground. They produced several releases on various Peruvian labels and played many live shows, but had to disband in 2008 when Galarreta relocated to Mexico. This evening will see the live rebirth of Tica and the launch of a brand new 7" release and a K7 compilation.

■ WILDER GONZALES AGREDA
Wilder Agreda's prolific work and characteristic musical ethos makes him one of the most interesting figures in Peruvian independent music and sound art. He has been active since 1995 with influential bands like Catarsis, Avalonia and Fractal, who were part of a Peruvian psychedelic post-rock scene known as 'Crisálida Sónica'. Wilder's discography consists of more than 60 releases. He founded Super Space Records and produces the radio show 'Peru Metamusica'. In the alternative South american network he is also known as a music journalist and philosopher, publishing articles with his blog 'Peru Avantgarde' and other platforms.

■ AFFREUX BEAT (Brest)
Affreux Beat est un duo transe noise à tendance zouk.
En concert, ils ont tendance à oublier ce qu'ils avaient prévu. D'ailleurs, maintenant, ils ne prévoient plus rien (pour rappel, leur dernière répette date de 2001). Les deux compères sont amateurs de fessées. Des fessées qu'ils distillent au public d'une manière à la fois délicate et brutale, en y laissant sur celui des chanceux une belle marque de main rouge vif.

■ ALONE
I come out the underground of Brussels. I play an emancipated music. My rule is to do with what I got. I come from the Less, I'm satisfied with my dirty sound. On stage ( where it all happens ), I play guitar songs with loops or without, sometimes with singing or maybe often, following the place and the mood.
Altenative, Post-Rock, Noize, Experimental... I show interest to everything that comes out of a guitar. At home, I made songs, no matter with what, then I let some on free downloads on the internet. Family member of the 'Nuits du Beau Tas' ( an iconoclast festival of Brussels ), I stay aware and open to any collabs. Peace'n'Noize.
