Wang Wen in Barcelona for the first time

Melancholy: Vague, deep, calm and permanent sadness, born from physical or moral causes, which causes the sufferer to find no pleasure or fun in anything.

It’s impossible not to think about this feeling when you listen to Wang Wen‘s music. Sensory trips, painful atmospheres, untouchable beauty. The band from Dalian (China) began a long journey in 1999 along the path of instrumental post-rock that has allowed them to sign one of the most impressive discographies that we can find today in an active band.

While his career has ups and downs, it was in “Sweet Home, Go!” (2016) where Wang Wen refined his language until reaching the perfection of his musical speech. An album that continues to shock us today and could be the soundtrack to the end of our lives (there’s the unforgettable “Heart of Ocean” to reaffirm it). Since then, they have published 3 albums and have continued to tour around the world, without passing through Spain.

It is, therefore, on Monday, May 20, a historic opportunity, Wang Wen visits our country for the first time and will do so by deploying his entire sound arsenal in a room with perfect conditions to listen to his precious proposal.
