This Christmas, Ebri Knight will play at Formentera's Nit de Concerts

The Formentera Office of Culture is pleased to report that on Saturday 18 December, islanders can enjoy one of the highlights of the Christmas holidays with a concert from the Catalan group Ebri Knight in the festival tent of Sa Senieta car park in Sant Francesc. The free limited-capacity concert will start at 11.00pm, and reservations are not required.

Ebri Knight have a reputation for energetic live performances, political commitment and punk rocks ideals which come to life in the unusual combination of Mediterranean and Celtic musical traditions. The band have proven their performing chops at an array of venues including Razzmatazz, Madrid's Sala But and L'Aquelarre in Cervera.

Looking ahead to their stint on Formentera, Susana Labrador, Councillor of Culture and Festivals, encouraged islanders to come out for what promises to be a lively performance. Current COVID-19 regulations will be in place at Ebri Knight's concert and at every function on the holiday programme: attendees must wear masks at all times and may dance but not drink. Indeed, there will be no bar service, "but we hope to see a great deal of animation", said Councillor Labrador.

'Street'

Ebri Knight's fifth studio album, Carrer ("street"), was released in early 2021. After the EPLa voz dormida, the band continues to explore sounds and styles with the help of Valencian producer Mark Dasousa. Carrer is undoubtedly the band's most diverse work to date.

"The album is the result of the context in which we live; hence the title. The street is where we develop our lives, our relationships and our daily struggles; where we want to recover after months of lockdowns and social constraints", say representatives for the band.

Carrer cements the work started with the previous album and is the result of a year of production and painstaking work on the songs, eleven tracks that represent the ultimate distillation of Ebri Knight's trademark brand of folk.
