The annual concert at the most impressive Torrent des Pareis setting will be given tomorrow, July 1st, 2012, by Cap Pela, a young Mallorcan rock band singing a capella, with voices only and no instruments. Cap Pela are quite popular and have a sizable following. They have toured Germany recently, giving concerts in Leipzig, as well as Cannes in France. Tomorrow’s concert will be free, franc and gratis, as it is being sponsored by Sa Nostra, the Mallorcan savings bank. Moltes gràcies.
If you can’t make tomorrow’s event, you can also hear Cap Pela in Sa Màniga (Cala Millor) on July 6th, as well as on July 28th at the Claustre de Santo Domingo (Pollença), but then you will have to pay between 12 € and 25 €. Here’s a sample of a performance of theirs, courtesy of YouTube:

Thank you very much, and
muchas gracias.
I had never heard of this group and found the Youtube sampling to be quite delightful. Although, I am guessing that they were singing about Mallorca, I remember the tune as an old and haunting Lenten hymn which began “God of mercy and compassion, look with pity upon me.” Thank you, Klaus.
How wonderful. What a great way to have a summer concert!
