Sonorama Ribera 2013. The Report. Day 0. Why Sonorama


Being hardcore spanish indie rock fan for the last seven years of my life I always wanted to do this. To look at my favourite bands live. The first five years of longing were clouded by the lack of funding (you know what I mean). In 2012 we (me and mi mujer Tanya) almost did it  - we have tried to attend the spanish indie music fest ManchaPop but it was cancelled in a week before due to poor tickets sales. So the choice for the current year was based on the following precautions:
1. The relatively large renowned festival with the history (to minimize the risks of cancelation).
2. Mostly domestic lineup (not to mess up with zillion of international stars which are none of my interest).

'The chosen few' were: PortAmerica (Nigran), Contempopranea (Badajos) & Sonorama (Aranda). And Sonorama won due to its more convenient location. Also, Aranda is the co-capital (along with Penafiel town) of D.O. Ribera del Duero - the wine region famous for its red dry Tempranillo wines.
So, the preparations were made: the schedule, the map, the tickets, the rented car awaiting us in Madrid Barajas airport and the booked room in a hotel of Milagros (tiny little pueblo near Aranda) . Let's start!
