Primavera Sound 2017: 7 Notas 7 Colores + Anímic + Saint Etienne + Local Natives + Sophie Payten

The opening day of the Primavera Sound festival is free and open to the public, and it serves to get everyone geared up for the three intense days that follow at the Parc del Fòrum venue. Today you can check out the five-piece Catalan group Anímic, presenting their sixth album, 'Skin' (2017), where they feature dance music on an album about our inhumanity; 7 Notas 7 Colores, a band started by Mucho Muchacho along with producer Dive Dibosso, pioneers of hip hop in Spain and authors of one of the key albums of the genre in Catalonia, 'Hecho, es simple' (1997), who are back on stages to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album's release; the elegant electro pop of British trio Saint Etienne, with Sarah Cracknell, Pete Wiggs and Bob Stanley; the combination of pop, Afrobeat and epic rock from Californians Local Natives; and the young Australian artist Sophie Payten.
