Prats (drums), who dedicated the album “Marianne” to him in 2016. The Trio will also participate

(rental of the piano, travel of artists, etc.). All musicians will perform in style
selfless as a tribute to Marianne Brull.
Marianne Brull (1935-2023)
Marianne Brull discovered free improvised music at a concert in the summer of 1998 and
since then she became a loyal fan and a tireless promoter. That
performance, organized by the pianist Agustí Fernández in tribute to the anarchist Buenaventura
Durruti, was an enlightenment for this woman, born in Wald, Switzerland, on April 5, 1935.

Before settling in Barcelona, Marianne Brull lived in Paris from the late 1950s, where she
get in touch with the Spanish exile. There he established a relationship with Pepe Martínez, one of the
founders of the publishing house Ruedo Ibérico, with whom they printed books and articles prohibited by the
Franco’s dictatorship, to then introduce them clandestinely into Spain. Brull’s house is gone
become the meeting point for the publishers, to which he dedicated his time
complete until its closure, after the end of the dictatorship.
