Without a doubt August Tharrats is the pioneer of Blues and Boogie Woogie piano in Catalonia. At 4 years old he discovered the Blues listening to Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton...

He is a totally self-taught piano virtuoso and that has meant that he has approached this music with humility, creating a very personal language. Perhaps for this reason musicians like Teddy Edwards, Gene "Mighty Flea" Connors or B.B. King has been complimented on his way of playing the blues.

An admirer of pianists from the Kansas City school such as Jay McShann, he is currently a prestigious bluesman on the national scene due to his interpretive quality and honesty on stage.

With his unbeatable technique and his undeniable feeling, he is a musician capable of captivating audiences with a personal style full of blues, boogie-woogie and swing with an enormous capacity for communication.

With an unbeatable live performance, Lluís creates a magical atmosphere from beginning to end in all his concerts, turning each performance into a unique and unforgettable experience. With a devilish left hand and a talent for improvisation, Coloma achieves a solid and convincing sound. A great communicator, he immediately spreads his passion for this festive music to a dedicated audience. His great technique and virtuosity make him one of the greatest exponents of blues piano and boogie woogie in Europe.

Lluís Coloma offers very personal music and a repertoire in which he perfectly combines tradition and originality, fusing in a natural and at the same time innovative way the music of New Orleans, rhythm & blues, boogie woogie, rock, blues... A intense and full of energy show, where the surprising force of his piano envelops and captures the audience who quickly gets carried away by the frenetic rhythms, passion and feeling of Coloma's interpretation, who experiences each of his concerts as an act total. Fresh and direct music that draws applause and creates a hypnotic atmosphere capable of transporting the audience to exciting journeys.
