Le Guess Who?

Le Guess Who? è un festival musicale olandese organizzato nella città di Utrecht, fondato da Bob van Heur e Johan Gijsen nel 2007 e caratterizzato da diversi generi musicali, tra cui la musica d'avanguardia, il jazz, l'hip hop, la musica elettronica, la musica sperimentale, il noise rock, l'indie rock e la world music.

Storia

modifica

Le Guess Who? si svolge annualmente ad Utrecht a metà novembre, dura 4 giorni e propone oltre 200 esibizioni in vari luoghi di ritrovo culturale, principalmente locali musicali (TivoliVredenburg, De Helling, EKKO, dB's, ecc.), ma anche teatri, club e le principali chiese della città (come ad esempio il Duomo di Utrecht e la Jacobikerk). Inoltre si tengono anche degli eventi satellite con musica, film, arti visive e fotografie che compaiono nei caffè, negli hotel, nei ristoranti, nelle cantine del molo, nella piazza centrale e negli angoli nascosti di Utrecht.

Nella prima edizione del 2007 il festival durava 2 giorni, poi aumentati a 3 nel 2008, a 4 nel 2009 e a 5 nel 2010. Nel 2011 la durata venne ridotta a 3 giorni, per poi stabilizzarsi a 4 giorni a partire dal 2012.

Nel corso di Le Guess Who? si esibiscono più di 100 artisti e band musicali che raramente suonano nei Paesi Bassi o che lo fanno per la prima volta. Nelle prime edizioni il festival ospitava soltanto artisti e band canadesi, ma già a partire dalla 3ª edizione nel 2009 questo limite divenne meno stringente, iniziando a far esibire anche gruppi musicali di altre nazioni, rimuovendolo completamente nel 2010, così da poter accogliere artisti provenienti da tutto il mondo.[1] Le Guess Who? celebra la diversità e l'inclusività,[2] concentrandosi su artisti che sentono il bisogno di esplorare ed espandere i confini di determinati generi, presentando suoni non occidentali, jazz, folk, ambient, drone e avant-garde, nonché la cultura pop e rock contemporanea e molte forme miste di questi generi.

Dal 2015 uno o più curatori presentano una parte del programma del festival:
