Rodrigo Cuevas and the Dance of Folklore

Rodrigo Cuevas stands out as a vibrant, unmistakable voice among the new generation of artists who turn folklore into a cutting edge form of personal expression. This Asturian performer brought a bold, contemporary energy to his Sunday appearance at the Concerts de Vivers on July 16, where electronic textures mingled with the region’s traditional melodies and lyrical motifs. He explains that his aim was to create a record that is both danceable and playful, while building a tension between a deeply local repertoire and a producer with no ties to Asturian culture to see how that friction plays out. The result is a daring blend that remains faithful to the essence of his roots while inviting new listeners to experience the surprise of the collision between genres.
