Club To Club 2016: Torinese Festival Crosses Musical Boundaries
The 2016 edition of Club To Club in Turin, Italy, from November 3, featured a lineup that transcended electronic music and dancefloor conventions. Headliners included Shye Ben-Tzur, Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead), and The Rajasthan Express performing 'Junun,' a blend of Indian folk and rock. Arto Lindsay, a no-wave legend, performed at the Conservatory. Arca, a Venezuelan-born producer based in London, delivered a DJ set with visual artist Jesse Kanda, including a tribute to Miguel Bosé. Other acts included Lafawndah (Egyptian-Iranian), DJ Lang and Nan Kolè (Gqom Oh! label), and Italian-Tunisian rapper Ghali. The festival also featured Amnesia Scanner, a Finnish duo based in Berlin, representing post-club electronic music. The Absolut Symposium hub hosted secret rooms, talks, and a screening of 'Negus' by Invernomuto, connecting Rastafarianism to Italian, Ethiopian, and Jamaican histories. Autechre performed a dark concert from the Lingotto terrace.
