Javi Ruibal Quartet Javi Ruibal (drums and percussion), Óscar Álvarez (piano), Alejandro Marcos (bass), Diego Villegas (saxophone, flute, harmonica) Javi Ruibal, drummer, percussionist, composer and producer, linked to jazz, flamenco and world music, presents his latest project as a quartet in the field of jazz fusion, with influences from flamenco and world music. After his first work Solo un mundo (2019), he presented Luz (2022), his second album, a project inspired by the lives of eight women, some real and some imagined. The album proposes a more jazzy approach and is articulated on an instrumental base made up of drums, bass, piano and wind instruments, to which are added other timbres such as the lute, vibraphone, keyboards, synthesizers and guitars. The result is a project that is situated at the confluence of genres and traditions, where rhythmic richness and timbral diversity are placed at the service of a dynamic and constantly evolving musical discourse. Xan Campos: Amorodios Faia Díaz (voice, tambourine), Xan Campos (piano, synthesizers), Felix Barth (bass), Iago Fernández (drums) At Amorodios (2026), the pianist Xan Campos connects modern jazz with Galician tradition, rock, pop and electronic music, developing his own language with space for roots music and experimentation. Trained in the field of modern jazz and with a consolidated career as a leader and collaborator in multiple projects, Campos has been characterised by a constant search for new sound spaces. Amorodios is an intimate project, full of contrasts and explosive moments charged with energy. Faia Díaz's voice, coming from traditional music and alien to the language of Jazz, is integrated as a key element, providing a distinctive, direct and deeply organic sonority. Under an apparent simplicity, the music hides a great rhythmic, harmonic and melodic complexity, built from metrics inspired by Galician music and an expanded percussion section, where traditional instruments play a central role.
