Swing Engine live in Sant Pere de Ribes

Experience Swing Engine live on September 9th

Swing Engine is a contemporary jazz ensemble specializing in energetic and technically proficient swing music, drawing influence from the big band traditions of the 1930s and 40s while incorporating modern arrangements and improvisation. Their performances are characterized by tight horn sections, driving rhythms, and dynamic solo work. The group features a core of seasoned musicians with backgrounds in diverse jazz styles.

The concert is scheduled to take place at the Planta de compostatge de Sant Pere de Ribes, located in Sant Pere de Ribes, Spain. This facility, translating to “Composting Plant of Sant Pere de Ribes,” is a municipal composting facility operated by the local council (Ajuntament del Vendrell). It processes organic waste from the municipality into compost for agricultural and horticultural use.

In recent years, the Planta de compostatge has begun hosting cultural events as part of an initiative to repurpose industrial spaces and offer unique venues for artistic expression within the region. The choice of this location aims to blend musical performance with an unconventional setting, highlighting both artistic creativity and environmental sustainability efforts within the Garraf area. The facility’s open-air areas are utilized for these events.
