PHIL MANZANERA - FROM REVOLUCIÓN TO ROXY

TUESDAY, 24.09.2024 / 20h00
ROTE BAR, VOLKSTHEATER
PHIL MANZANERA's fame derives from his role as the guitarist of the legendary British band Roxy Music. Less well-known is his extraordinary childhood about which he writes in his newly published memoir Revolución to Roxy. His mother came from Colombia, while his father was a spy working for Britain in most Latin American hotspots during the tumultuous 1960s. In conversation with IWM Rector MISHA GLENNY, Phil recalls his time as a young boy during the Cuban Revolution. The talk is interspersed with demonstrations of his dazzling guitar skills, emphasizing his background in Latin American musical traditions.
