Periscopi Invertit Catalan Countries folk melodies fused with North African rhythms & jazzy vibes

Periscopi Invertit (Reversed Periscope) mix Catalan folk melodies with North African rhythms and jazzy vibes and explores how old folk melodies can fuse with funk/latin/jazz arrangements and keep their connection with some Mediterranean sounds and grooves. The music is as well inspired by the legacy of “Ona Laietana” Barcelona's underground music bands from the 70's.

Periscopi Invertit is a multicultural band lead by Mireia Carbonell who graduated as a bass player at Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya in Barcelona , Catalonia. As a bass player, Mireia performed in several UK music festivals like African Diaspora, Better World Festival, Wilderness Festival, London Eid Festival, The British Academy Summer Showcase 2019, Africa Oyé, Journeys Festival, London African Music Festival, The big Feastival, Rising sounds Festival, etc and now she decided to start her own band Periscopi Invertit formed by the musicians Mireia Carbonell (bass and arrangements), Maria Gómez Martín (singer and pipe player), Amro Salah (Keyboard) and John Stewart (drums).
