Dame Area

Barcelona-based duo Dame Area are preparing to make their Roadburn debut. This unique pair combines industrial, electronic heaviness with frantic flamenco polyrhythms; the effect is dizzying and a perfect fit for Roadburn. So, let’s not waste any more time, let’s get acquainted with Dame Area…

A great place to start is with their latest album, Toda la verdad sobre Dame Area – which translated to English means “the whole truth about Dame Area”. Whilst it is a seemingly impossible task to fit all that this duo are into the nine captivating tracks, they’ve sure not done a bad job of trying. And on those nine tracks, you’ll get a taste of the primal energy of a Dame Area live show – which is where they truly come to life, and if we may be so bold – where the real truth about Dame Area shines through most clearly.

The urgency of their performance is palpable; their frenetic energy is contagious. Allow yourself to get swept away by Dame Area – you might want to bring your dancing shoes for this one.
