Sound de Secà; we are a street arts company with 12 years of experience. In our creations, we fuse our musical composition with movement, singing and interpretation to achieve our purpose: connecting with the audience.
Our shows combine percussion, singing and dancing through melodies that flow and distinguish our style.
Our musical mix focuses on Afro-Latino rhythms performed with percussion instruments: occasionally we also find melodic instruments such as the ukulele and the accordion.
We are a multifaceted company that’s constantly reinventing itself by adding new elements to its percussion.
In 2009, a group of young people from different percussion groups in and around the Segarra region came together with the same concern: to experience different languages through percussion. And Sound De Secà was born.
The evolution of the percussion group has been marked by research into new disciplines such as theatre, dance, voice and music. The result has been the creation of its own unique language that seeks to move its audience through cohesion, purity and authenticity.
In 2017 the group premiered their first show EMORIÔ at Fira Tàrrega. An inition static street creation, an authentic compilation of the rhythms and emotional states of the group, an emotional journey accompanied by different musical styles, song, dance and Steampunk aesthetic.
In 2018, SABOR premieres at Fira Mediterrania, a touring show that seeks dialogue with the audience through rhythm, where dance and improvisation became fundamental elements.
In 2019, a creative process begins that sheds light on a new common goal: to reclaim public spaces as meeting places beyond the crossing of itineraries, spaces in which to reclaim the identities of diverse groups of people and the fraternity that unites us. An artistic ideal that at the same time feeds an idealistic art.
At the same year, the company premieres at Fira Tàrrega POSSÊ, the first of a trilogy that speaks of community, group, family and vindication of public space.
Possè is a cry of home to recover the streets as a space of coexistence through play, interaction, and positivism.
During these years the comany takes a tour of the main Fairs and Festivals in Catalonia such as Fira Mediterrània, La Mostra d’Igualada, Fira Tàrrega, L’Esbaiola’t, CircPicat, Festival Mil Maneres, Espai de Carrer, Danseu Festival and Festival al Carrer.
And some international shows such as Zslonay Light Festival in Pécs (Hungary), the Sziguet Festival in Budapest (Hungary), the Aurillac Festival (France), Sorties de Bain (France) or Ana Desetnica (Slovenia).
In 2021, the creation process begins for a new production: + , wich culminates with the premiere at Fira Tàrrega 2022.
A show whose creative starting point is the plus sign (+), which, lying flat, becomes a crossroads, a crossing point for individual itineraries that is reclaimed as a meeting point for strangers.
