Most of the foreign names from the Full Moon Stage program will perform at Colors (July 15-18) in the Czech premiere, whether it is the unique voices of today such as Luisa Almaguer or Umut Adan or the Bolivian producer Susobrina, whose hot (electro-acoustic) sets are appreciated at boutique festivals and dance parties.
“I also recommend the powerful audiovisual performance of the trio Use Knife or the performance of the groups Sylvie’s Head and СОЮЗ (SOYUZ). Each of them revives the genres of the past in their own way and introduces them to the current context. We should also mention prominent names of the domestic and Slovak scene such as Favorite Obsession, Good Times Only, Tamara Kramárová or Quatro Emocione, and there is also the legendary Načeva and the international formation Ari Tsugi,” says the dramaturg of the scene and editor-in-chief Michal Pařízek of the alternative music magazine Full Moon.
Vietnamese-Czech rapper and producer Anki will then present a special audiovisual show prepared with visual artist Roman Gordienko.
The international collective Ari Tsugi will perform a genre cocktail from samba to jazz to tropical music. Polish group Klawo brings an energetic mix of funk, fusion, indie pop and rap, while Turkish multi-instrumentalist Umut Adan develops the tradition of Anatolian psychedelic rock in a modern dance concept.
“The Full Moon Stage is one of the hidden diamonds of our festival. Every year, it reveals essential performers from the foreign and Czech scene who test the boundaries of contemporary music,” says festival artistic director Filip Košťálek.
