Mena y la BBC Phil inauguran el Festival de Santander

Ramón del Buey Cañas, 5th August

Con el empaste orgánico y la complicidad construida concierto a concierto desde 2011, el tándem BBC-Mena vibró, bailó y estremeció. El torrente sonoro cuidó hasta el menor recoveco de pentagrama, cuajando el mejor de los augurios para lo que resta de festival.
