Music fans rejoice! Barcelona is home to a seriously impressive live music scene, particularly during the summer. The Mas i Mas festival is a great example of the cultural riches on offer.<\/p>\n

Mas i Mas Festival: a musical melting-pot<\/h2>\n

\nTo understand the complex nature of the Mas i Mas Festival, you need to go back to the beginning. Everything started in 1986 with the opening of the Mas i Mas Bar, a musical venue intended to highlight music of black origin, including funk, soul, blues and R&B.<\/p>\n

In 1991, the same company launched La Boîte<\/em>, an ambitious concept intended to combine live concerts with club sessions, focusing on jazz, flamenco, rock, salsa and particularly blues music.<\/p>\n

Following on from their success, the Mas i Mas group opened two more venues on the Plaça Reial,  Jamboree<\/a> and los Tarantos<\/a>, known respectively for top-notch jazz concerts and flamenco shows.<\/p>\n

In 1998, the Mas i Mas group branched out onto the techno-house scene, opening the Moog<\/a> nightclub. Located in the heart of the Raval, this cutting-edge venue became known for promoting creativity and experimental DJ sets.<\/p>\n

This wealth of musical styles and a rich experience of the Barelona music scene all came together with the creation of a unique, high-quality annual event: the Mas i Mas festival.\n<\/p>\n
