Mas + Rallo + Sunder + Palosanto

The continuation of the CCCB's open-air concerts brings Javier Mas and Jordi Rullo to the Patí de les Dones. The duo are founding members of the instrumental group of Mediterranean music Meridiana, as well as key musicians for Maria del Mar Bonet's back-up band. For their performances at the CCCB, they will be joined by the Hindu flautist Shyam Sunder. Also at the same venue, but on different nights, will be Palosanto, specialising in the rhythms of the 'troba' and other hot Cuban sounds.

The Roosters have snared the spectacular Craig Wing for the season and, if their captain Brad Fittler fires up, they will go a long way before they choke as usual. The Eagles are the result of a forced merger between North Sydney and Manly in the off-season - a merger not without irony, as Manly began life as a breakaway club from North Sydney many decades ago. So far, the Eagles have opened their season by trampling over mighty Newcastle and may prove to be the superclub everyone feared.
