Mar Abella

Mar Abella is one of the most promising artists of the new electronic scene in the city of Barcelona. From Sabadell, descendant of a family of musicians and promoters, her live show breaks with force in a scene saturated with DJs who do not know the meaning of the word "innovation". Mar Abella perfectly combines electronics with her voice, all rigorously live. After studying eight years of piano and music theory at the Sabadell Conservatory, Mar Abella began her journey through the world of music as lead vocalist in the group Darkside , with whom they then covered Pink Floyd and their own songs... Her debut in Solitary arrives in 2007 with the album MA (Natteam Music), electronic pop with clear influences close to ambient and triphop. The live performance of the first album with the band with guitars, piano, drums, computer/sequencer receives very good reviews... The fruits of these excellent reviews that the first album garners are reflected in the media such as the Sirocco program on Localia TV ( live performance), the program Loops!on TV Channel 33 (interview), and several interviews and reproductions of songs from the first album on the radio (Siglo 21-RN3, Scannerfm, Icat fm…). It is part of the annual cycle Emergents + Aprop of the Barcelona City Council in its 2008/2009 edition, it collaborates in different musical projects such as En/Doll (Bankrobber/ Labreu Edicions) by the musician Guillamino and the poet Josep Pedrals , « Elemental » (PICAP) the latest album by Xavi Vidal and Beri Mora ( XVB ). Throughout 2008, Mar Abella gave shape to another proposal of her new direct, this time more focused on the dance floors. It combines a faster tempo and short electro-pop-style vocals with longer Border Community-style atmospheres and textures.
