EL PITI DE LA SUERTE

The music scene in Barcelona can be very tough if you are an emerging artist. Singing live or reaching people can be very complicated and a little help doesn't hurt at all. Gala contacted me a little over a year ago to do a concert in Barcelona and when I finished the show she introduced me to Paula, the other member of the project I'm talking about today. They started organising concerts and they both told me that they wanted to expand and go beyond booking to be able to help artists in everything they could, so that, as an artist, I only had to worry about making music and they would take care of everything else. For me it was something beautiful, since as an emerging artist, having someone outside your personal life believe in you is always something that gives you a boost. This is how my relationship with El piti de la suerte began, which today has one more member, Lune.

I find the project very interesting since it really is pure passion for emerging music, they are really fans of the people they represent and that makes the project overflow with love and affection (I'm not going to cry). Last May they organised a festival claiming the female presence in emerging music called “A plena llum”, in which four artists performed and it ended with a DJ set. On the occasion of this event and without further ado, I wanted to introduce them a little and let you get to know them, so I asked them a few questions:

What is “El piti de la suerte”?

El piti de la suerte is a small music management project founded in Barcelona by Paula and Gala. It arises from the need to want to actively participate in the music scene and in a self-managed way we act as management, booking and sometimes as promoter. We are working and learning little by little alongside the projects and artists who trust us and with whom we collaborate. This year Lune has joined our small team.

What do you look for in the artists you work with?

Above all, we want your project to tell us something, to make us excited to move your music and talent. Work, dedication and as much love as we put into the piti. The idea is to develop all together, both musically and personally.

What is “A plena llum”?

“A plena llum” was a mini-festival where we want to bring out that talent is everywhere, not just in the mainstream, sometimes you just need to focus your eyes and go to Pumarejo. It is a project that makes us continue with the line of the first piti event, where we sought to highlight female artists.

Will it be a one-time event or will there be more editions?

Our idea is to make more editions of A plena llum, either in festival format or in show-case format, as was its first version.

What artists are currently working at el piti de la suerte?

The roster of artists we collaborate with represents well the essence of this project. It is really difficult to define the musical styles of each of them because they stand out for their versatility and originality. The first to join was LA PAINS, in the midst of a new stage and changes. Then VICTORIA VARTH entrusted us with her experimental dark wave project from Madrid. Las Tristes, a post punk group with urban references as well. MALÁNIMA, the creator of “popper pop” and now with a new live format with CtrtTeta and 8keeys. SARCOMA and his hard noise come from Madrid to claim and demonstrate everything she is capable of creating. They are all different and we love that because they allow us to work with incredible diversity. Even so, they all share the same passion for music and a concern that moves them to bring out its essence. We are really happy to have collected all this in one year and also very excited about all the projects that remain to be released.

After this presentation, I encourage you to follow the girls from “El piti de la suerte” on their social media if you want to find out about the best emerging music concerts that you can have nearby, especially in Madrid and Barcelona. They are quite affordable concerts and a very good plan to start the night.
