9b in Black

9b in Black was Nou Barris’ black music festival. Three editions that brought blues, soul, funk, hip-hop and breakdance together in one space — a celebration of a musical culture with no single origin and no single colour.

The first edition, in February 2011, coincided with the centenary of Robert Johnson’s birth — one of the most legendary blues guitarists in history. It was no minor coincidence: 9b in Black wanted black music to feel not like a foreign genre but like a shared root.
