The second concert of the festival Meet the World will take place on October 18 at 7.30pm in Sofia's National Palace of Culture (NDK) and on October 22 at 7.30 in Hall 2 of Plovdiv Fair, presenting the colourful Spanish music band Calima.
The band is made of 15 musicians, including four vocalists and one flamenco dancer from Spain, Cuba, Venezuela, US and even Bulgaria. They will perform a special audio-video show for the Bulgarian audience and present their album Azul, which was nominated for a Grammy award for best flamenco album.
When Calima plays on stage, music from the Mediterranean, Brazil and Cuba sounds in a spectacular mix of classical flamenco, Catalonian rumba, hip-hop and chill out. The band fascinates the audience with the colourful presence on stage of each and every one of its members. They merge in one to experiment with the music vibes on a way creating a new universe of rhythms, colours and Spanish magic.
