Ángela Cervantes will headline Formentera concert on Dia de les Illes Balears

The Office of Culture of the Consell de Formentera is pleased to report that Ángela Cervantes, together with double bass player Manel Fortià and violinist and percussionist Carlos Montfort, will come to Formentera to present the singer's most recent release, Arrels d'Ara. The concert, which will mark Formentera's celebration of Balearic Islands Day (Dia de les Illes Balears), will unfold in the Sala de Cultura (Cinema) on Saturday 4 March from 7.30pm.

Arrels d'Ara has its origins in spring 2022, when Cervantes set out to rediscover her voice through the folklore of her native Eivissa, defying borders as she blended it with universal sounds and contemporary jazz.

As Cervantes explains, "Arrels d'Ara is a journey inward, to recover, rediscover and reinterpret my personal songbook, grafted from the songs that have marked me." It represents the singer's will to return to a timeless repertoire with a voice from the present. It is a reunion of language and traditions. The elevation of her people's culture, demanding it with the urgency of the present, and singing to our children with a voice from the past.

On this shared journey, the singer is joined by Manel Fortià and Carlos Montfort – two fellow travellers who, like Cervantes, drink from the sources of tradition, constant curiosity and experimentation without filters or barriers.
