MAP sends us to an imaginary place and time. It is a regenerative synthesis of musics and styles: popular, academic and free. The convergence of the musicality of Mezquida, the passion and intensity of Aurignac and the structured fantasy of Prats. One of the most highly acclaimed projects from the very outset, the group presents its debut album in a powerful and always surprising live act, regarded as the best of 2015, the year in which it was formed
“MAP, the bottomless magician’s hat”
Concert review 39th Voll-Damm Festival of Barcelona
“The sound, extraordinarily clean for a group with such punch, seemed to come from all sides, and the sensation of a sonic avalanche was even stronger as they linked together one piece after the other from their album.
The MAP Trio pulls everything out of its hat: hypnotic passages, torrential surges, a lyricism which at times verges on the sentimental, a bit of groove, rhythmic puzzles and a tapestry of oriental colours. And they play it all with a rare force, but without making it sound like a music competition
