The experimental emotion of Sara Fontán and the polyrhythmic energy of Edi Pou make up LOS SARA FONTÁN. They do not record albums out of militancy: their terrain is live, always physical, changing and permeable to the environment, fleeing from the productive routines of the industry.

A concert by Los Sara Fontán is the soundtrack of whatever one wants to imagine, giving the audience the freedom to interpret and feel it in a personal and unique way.

In only two years as a duo, LOS SARA FONTÁN have already toured Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland and Germany, including festivals of very varied styles (One Of A Million, BAM, AMFest, Sound Isidro, Eufònic) and temples of Do-It-Yourself (from the Liceo Mutante to the Kastanienkeller in Berlin).

The violinist's profession requires a clear understanding of Itzhak Perlman's maxim: “That which is learned slowly, is forgotten slowly”. Perhaps that is why Sara Fontán has waited until now to lead a project under her own name, after 25 years of coexisting with the violin and exploring its possibilities in all kinds of styles and formats, from classical music to post-rock, passing through electronic music (Árbol), video dance (PIÑA), free improvisation (the Orquesta del Caballo Ganador) or pop (Manos de Topo).

Sara uses the violin as a starting point to reach any texture and invoke any mood. At her side, Edi Pou (half of ZA!, referents of the European underground) takes on the challenge of converting percussion into melody and tensing the dynamics from the minuscule to the epic.
