Clara Peya
Some artists do not simply accompany their time: they cut through it. Clara Peya
belongs to that kind of creator who does not see music as a comfortable
territory, but as a way of asking, shaking, caring and opening cracks where
something seemed closed.
A pianist, composer and improviser with an unmistakable language of her own, Peya
has built a body of work where delicacy and urgency, fragility and force, intimate
emotion and collective awareness coexist. Her music moves freely through song,
electronics, classical tradition, contemporary rhythms and a deeply physical
understanding of the piano: not as an ornamental instrument, but as a nerve centre, a
body, a form of thought in motion.
With Nuca, her new album, Clara Peya offers an invitation as necessary as it is
unsettling: to turn our necks, to look where we were not looking, to train once again
the muscles of empathy. In a time marked by uncertainty, mistrust and discourses that
push us towards isolation, Nuca begins from a luminous conviction: loneliness can also
be shared, and art can bring us together again not through fear of catastrophe, but
through the desire to live the future together.
The album, bare and minimalist, is built around the sound of a muted upright piano,
electronic atmospheres and sixteen songs performed by different voices. Live, this
sensitive material expands through a powerful and precise band: Didak Fernández on
drums and percussion, Adri González on electric bass, Spanish guitar and synths, and
the voices of Enric Verdaguer, Carmen Aciar and Will Mas, alongside Clara Peya’s
ever-magnetic piano.
Nuca does not simply seek to move us: it seeks to create a place. A space where
vulnerability is not weakness, where beauty is not escape, and where music
reminds us of one of its deepest powers: to bring bodies, gazes and questions together
in a shared breath.
At SONSDENIT, Clara Peya arrives with a proposal of enormous artistic and human
intensity: sharp-edged songs, sensitive melodies, electronic textures and a stage
presence capable of turning a concert into an experience of community. Music that
asks us to turn our necks, open our listening and imagine again, even if only for a
moment, how we might meet one another differently.
📍The concert will take place in Plaça Alexandre Ballester, in Sa Pobla, a new space for
SONSDENIT and an addition that makes us especially happy. We had long wanted to
include Sa Pobla in the festival’s itinerary, and doing so with an artist as beloved
and necessary as Clara Peya feels like a beautiful way to open this new chapter.
Set in the very centre of the town, the square will be transformed into an open-air
stage, using the architectural presence of the church and the surrounding buildings
as a natural frame for the music and the audience. Stone, façades, the everyday life
of the town and the summer night will all become part of the experience.
At SONSDENIT, venues are never just scenery. In Sa Pobla, Clara Peya’s music will
find a particularly meaningful setting: a square as a place of encounter, community
and shared listening. A public space where Nuca can fully unfold its meaning:
bringing us together, inviting us to look at one another again, and reminding us that
music can also be a way of learning how to be with one another once more.
