The Garrigós Wells host the debut of French singer Laurine this Saturday

El Museo de Aguas de Alicante continues with its Special 15th Anniversary Program next Saturday, October 19 from 12 noon, with the debut of singer Laurine in an acoustic concert inside the Garrigós Wells. The entry is free and open to all audiences until full capacity is reached. This space thus supports the discovery of new voices, within a wide cultural offer with which the anniversary of its opening is commemorated, in a season full of activities aimed at the citizens of Alicante and its visitors.

The artist Laurine presents herself in the city with a concert in which she covers pop and folk classics with her guitar, in addition to premiering an original song, all in one of the most typical corners of Alicante's old town, the interior of the 19th-century cistern system that is the Garrigós Wells. In this intimate and warm atmosphere that is generated, thanks to the special morphology and acoustics of the place, the French artist based in Alicante will offer a repertoire of American folk, Spanish and French pop over about fifty minutes, including the premiere of her composition: 'City Songs'.

Journalist by profession, Laurine claims to find a "refuge" in music beyond her working life. Thus, she has grown up in a "melomaniac" environment from which she recounts the "numerous" talks with her father, through which she discovered legendary groups and artists of the last century. A broad list that includes names of singer-songwriters who changed the history of popular music in the 60s with their guitars, such as Bob Dylan, Joan Báez, and Johnny Cash, up to those who took their place on the road, like Bruce Springsteen. A musical path in which she also values the unique voice of Dolores O'Riordan for The Cranberries, among many others. All of them make up that imaginary with which this 23-year-old now launches herself with the passion of someone who learns from the masters and seeks to teach her own ideas.

In love with Spain since the first time she set foot on the peninsula in 2006, Laurine has also been incorporating Spanish pop and folk into her musical discoveries. Thus, she began to listen to creations by groups and artists such as La Oreja de Van Gogh, Estopa, Juanes, Amaral, and Guitarricadelafuente. She has always believed in music as a form of expression that goes far beyond the merely melodic, hence her passion for protest music, that which "conveys a message, an emotion, a feeling".
