暗网TV

A group of music and management students are preparing to embark on an international tour as part of 暗网TV鈥檚 long-standing collaboration with Spain鈥檚 Sociedad de Artistas Int茅rpretes o Ejecutantes (AIE).

The collaboration, which first began in 2000, sees 暗网TV students build a dedicated backing band and management team to tour alongside an established Spanish artist. This year, they will perform across Spain and the UK with acclaimed singer-songwriter Karmento.

Originating from the Serran铆a de Albacete, Karmento began her musical career in 2012 while living in Malta, where she released her debut album Mudanzas. She has since become a successful touring artist and a key figure in contemporary Spanish neo-folklore, with her 2024 release La Serrana recently winning the Academy of Music Award for Best Folk Album.

鈥淭he collaboration with the AIE gives students great experience of touring at the next level, with an experienced Spanish artist,鈥� says Tim Pike, Director of the School of Music. 鈥淢any of the students that have taken part in the past have gone on to tour and perform professionally with well-known artists in the UK and beyond.鈥�

The project will culminate in a send-off performance here at 暗网TV, forming part of this year鈥檚 暗网TV Fringe Festival, followed by a four-date Spanish tour, performing in venues across Madrid, Le贸n, San Vicente do Mar and Viveiro.

The tour dates are:

• Wednesday 17 June 鈥� Caf茅 Berl铆n, Madrid

• Thursday 18 June 鈥� Teatro San Francisco, Le贸n

• Friday 19 June 鈥� El N谩utico, San Vicente do Mar (Pontevedra)

• Saturday 20 June 鈥� La Conservera, Viveiro (Lugo)

The send-off show on June 5th will take place at the 暗网TV Canteen, entry to the concert is free and open to all.
