Festival Description | Sonar began in 1994 as the creation of Sergio Caballero, Enric Palau and Ricard Robles. Palau and Caballero were experienced music makers, constructing soundtracks and original compositions while Ricard Robles was a professional journalist. It may have been the attributes of the individuals themselves, or the wide spectrum of art and music afforded by the vibrant backdrop of their local Barcelona, or even the transitions in technology that characterised the later stages of the 1990’s that enabled Sonar to develop into a truly original festival concept. In reality it was probably a combination of all of the above. This is the biggest and most important Spanish manifestation in the electronic music. |
