A dozen bands from Malaga release a vinyl for collectors in tribute to Sexy Sadie

The musicians from Malaga have decided to pay tribute to the Mallorcan band Sexy Sadie with a collective album in which a dozen Malaga bands have participated, covering the album 'Lost & Found' on its 20th anniversary. This special edition, originating from Malaga, was presented yesterday at the cultural series 'Found in Málaga' held at the María Victoria Atencia cultural center with a day that merged a roundtable with producers, engineers, musicians, and graphic creators who shared the secrets of the recording. The evening culminated with the highlight performance by Los Turistas with immersive pop that created a hypnotic space in this Malaga cultural center.

The series 'Found in Málaga' has been driven by the producer and musician Álvaro Moreno Sánchez, the designer Mateo García (Narita Estudio), and the Malaga Provincial Council: "This album was a soundtrack for many students from Malaga and undoubtedly a benchmark for national pop music," defended Álvaro Moreno during yesterday's event. For his part, Mateo García, from Narita Estudio, appreciated the cultural dimension that the project encompasses: "If previously it were 'bad times for lyrics', today they are for humanities. In this context, it seems almost madness to embark on a project of collective art and craftsmanship, made slowly. Yet, we have done it out of conviction and, above all, for the love of art," the designer assured.

The protagonists of this album, which includes a physical vinyl edition for collectors (with original design by Narita Estudio), are Los Turistas, Bauer, Oh! Trikelians, Ballena, Scandinavia, Wasabi Cru, Polarnova, El País Musicano, María Esteban & Tyler Faraday, Rubio Americano, Gran Premio, and La Cena. "Without a doubt, this edited and embraceable project will remain in the cultural memory of Malaga. It represents and archives the creative moment that the city is experiencing and will be consultable in 100 years," emphasized the designer from Narita, Fabián Suárez.

This series will continue on the next November 8th with a day that will include the screening of the documentary 'Naturalesa Morta' (2023); roundtables with key figures such as Jaime G. Soriano (Sexy Sadie), Julio Ruiz, Nigel Walker, and Carlos Galán (Subterfuge Records); as well as live performances by Bauer, Oh!, Trikelians!, and an acoustic set by Jaime G. Soriano along with other local artists.

"With 'Found in Málaga,' the city not only pays homage to one of the most influential bands of the national indie scene but also affirms the vitality of its own musical scene, establishing itself as a meeting point between generations, disciplines, and territories," the organizers assess.
