Ell Sol is Joan Mena, a Catalan multitask and performer based in The Netherlands. For the last decade, he has been traveling and performing his Turbo Folk around the DIY world with his groundbreaking performances pushing the boundaries of contemporary music with songs sung primarily in his native Catalan. He published 3 works as Ell Sol and lately he is working with a new string quartet to bring the pieces to a 4D level. A rollercoaster of Catalan chanson, a combo the get back to the roots and experimentation.
’Does Catalonian balladry involve a lot of sighing, whispering, squawking, and screeching? Well regardless if it does or it doesn’t we got that. The charming and very surprising show, a whole new approach to playing the guitar ’’’
