On 28 May, Live at Our Place hosts an evening of tradition, improvisation, and sonic exploration. Four unique acts come together for a night that moves between Mexican folklore, free improvisation, soulful grooves, and experimental beats, bringing storytelling, collaboration, and musical curiosity to the forefront.

PROGRAMME

01 | Laura Polence (Solo) | A delicate blend of recent compositions and Latvian folk songs. Voice, piano, and synthesizers weave together theatrical moments and musical reflections on the naive irony of everyday life.

02 | Ada Rave & James McClure | A duo performance of free improvisation, navigating uncharted sonic terrain through bold, personal expression. Expect deep listening, unexpected textures, and fearless musical dialogue.

03 | Fuensanta & Diego Cerroblanco | An intimate journey through the infinite beauty of Mexican music—boleros, son jarocho, and original works reimagined for traditional instruments.

04 | DJ Cata.Pirata | Infectious rhythms and folkloric influences from Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean meet psychedelic, beat-heavy futurism—spun live through analog and electronic textures.

ABOUT ADA RAVE

Tenor saxophonist Ada Rave, born and raised in Argentina, decided to move to Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 2013. She had heard ‘the call’, followed her musical intuition, and became part of the colorful community of Dutch creative improvised music. Educated in the jazz tradition, she soon began to search for a more personal language - one that could express her own voice and vision. In this pursuit, she embraced unconventional techniques, using cups, bottles, lids, tubes, feathers, sticks, and stones to extend her color-palette. Ada Rave is a strong, curious, sensitive musician—a unique voice on the tenor saxophone.
