Festa de tardor a la Font

Wax & Boogie is a blues, rhythm and blues and boogie woogie ensemble returning to Plaça Font d'en Fargues as part of the Festa de Tardor a la Font, an event that also includes wooden games for children.

Wax & Boogie is a group focused on blues, rhythm and blues and boogie woogie, styles rooted in African-American tradition, performed with voice, piano, drums, double bass and tenor sax. Ster Wax (vocals) and David Giorcelli (piano) take charge of the melodic line and draw on the African-American musical tradition to build their own language.

The rhythm section is made up of Reginald Vilardell on drums and Little Jordi on double bass. Pol Padrós on tenor sax completes the line-up, presented as a standout figure of the ensemble. The group stands out for the solidity of its groove, which underpins its blues and boogie woogie repertoire.

This edition of the Festa de Tardor a la Font welcomes Wax & Boogie back to the square, having already performed in the same space at a previous edition. The programme also includes wooden games for children, run by El Pájaro Jocs, so the day combines live music with an activity aimed at young audiences. The square hosts concerts and shows in Barcelona.
