Why? Due to our friendship over the years with our friends of Mundi, a local band from Austin Texas and with Phil Plata, a local musician from Austin, the craddle of this project was born last september during Phil and Karen´s visit to Andalusia. Since then, Juan de Castro in Montejaque, Phil Plata in Austin and myself, were moving on. But it was not until we receive the support from local authorities in the different Pueblos Blancos and since my visit to Austin this February when we celebrated two gatherings with local musicians at his home, when the project became real.
Many bands will be coming from Austin, Texas and this has a reason. Not only for te hard work of Phil promoting the festival through the local musicians in Austin, but also because Austin is the live music capital of the world, and it is where the South by Southwest Music festival happens every year. Making the interest of local bands from Austin in this festival and on coming to Pueblos Blancos and Andalusia never happened before.
This together with the passion of music and friendship and with the magic of this hidden corner in South of Spain, the Pueblos Blancos ( known as The White Villages) made the rest.
Big thanks again to Phil Plata, Juan de Castro ,all of our friends of Mundi as Mario Gonzales, Darrel Myers, Ric Furley and all of their love of Spain and especially to all the participants in the magical week coming soon!
