maltatoday 14 | SUNDAY • 23 SEPTEMBER 2018 FILM CULTURE Malta's foremost Metal ex- port, Beheaded. In contrast to all this thundering energy we have a different kind of power emanating from Notte Electronic, where local artists create ambient sounds and spine-tingling vibes that will transport everyone to distant worlds and imaginary states, peaking with a top German act that is credited as a main pio- neer in the genre, Tangerine Dream. The main stage will be Notte Special, where all can NOTTE Bianca is here again! And this time it's expected to be the biggest and best one yet. The White Night festival will hit Valletta on Saturday 6th October from 7pm to mid- night. Every street, every square, every corner, every turn, every moment will be fully lit, ani- mated, alive and filled with myriad surprises and fun for young and old alike. The five key areas will of- fer a veritable cornucopia of music, placing it on the same level as the very best music festivals ever organised in our country. The Notte Folk stage will give us a sweet confec- tionery of local modern folk artists with the icing on the cake being Italian singer and songwriter of worldwide re- nown, Vinicio Capossela, who is playing in Malta for the first time and preparing a unique gig especially for us. Notte Reggae takes us from such perennial classics as 'Dance Music for the 80s Depression' by The Rifffs to new favourites like 'Mur Imma Mur' by Ma- naTapu and several others, to eventually culminate with Ska phenomenon from the UK, The Selecter. Notte Metal will judder the city with the force of Heavy, Death, and Trash sounds from top local Metal bands, and finally reach its peak with enjoy a lineup that is … well, absolutely special! nosnow/ noalps, Tenishia with Tribali, Emma Muscat with Biondo and the UK band, Toploader, who were catapulted to inter- national fame with their smash hit, 'Dancing in the Moon- light'. For those wanting to try something different there's a fine selection of styles like Jazz, Tango, Charleston, Brass Bands and Choirs in different parts of the capital. So many highlights, such as a children's choir singing with a Maltese Għannej, to mention just one. Prepare to also be awed by theatre shows, informative activities, events for children and grown-ups, from Clowns to Slackline (come discov- er what it is), Light Shows, Games, Corsairs, and even messing around with clay! The only problem will be to choose what to see first, what to see next, and what to see after that ... Will you manage to see eve- rything? The organisers are making sure to have the necessary se- curity and safety measures in place and there will even be crowd management measures.
