TRAVELERT: Krakow Concert and Event Alerts

22nd of August

>>Concert GAF at Stanger Cafe

One of Krakow’s strangest music venues will host what is sure to be one of the most progressive concerts of the month by Tenerife group GAF (for those of you who were asleep in geography class, Tenerife is one of the Canary Islands, which are also part of Spain). GAF is an experimental band started by Mladen Kurajica in 1999. GAF’s music aims to transcend all genres and styles of contemporary music by experimenting with many textures, acoustic sounds, composition structures and ambiences. From John Cage to Gamelan music and Steve Reich; from minimalist electronics to no-wave and art-rock with oriental flavor; from folk and indietronics to free jazz; from ambient and field recordings to experimental literature and visual poetry. Their musical mission may sound daunting but front man Kurajica is a versatile musician and a musical force performing in numerous groups such as Tupperwear (klitekture records, Spain/Germany) Emeth-HNM (Drone) and Af-gan (Antenna Records, UK). He is also a co-founder of Colectivo Drone- a cultural association dedicated to the spreading of experimental music and multimedia arts over the last eight years in Canary Islands, and co-organizer of CROMA and Próximos en Santa Cruz, two international cutting-edge music festivals both held in Tenerife. GAF performs as a quartet in Krakow.
