Sonorama Ribera

The Sonorama Festival (since 2008 Sonorama-Ribera) is an annual music festival which takes place in the city of Aranda de Duero, in Castile and León (Spain), since 1998. It is organized by the cultural association and non-profit Art de Troya, in mid-August each year. The lineup mainly consists of indie pop, indie rock, and electronic music.

With a progressive growth, it has become one of the biggest summer festivals in Spain, and it is broadcast live on Spanish National Radio: Radio 3. In 2010, it was voted the third-best Spanish festival by the readers of the magazine Rockdelux, and as fourth-best Spanish festival by magazine Mondosonoro. Also, it has been nominated for the Independent Music Awards, organized by the Unión Fonográfica Independiente, in the category of Best Music Festival in Spain in 2010 and in 2012.

The festival is also composed of other activities:

• Sonorama Festival of Short Films, since 2000
• Music demo contest
• Visit and lunch in the old underground wineries of Aranda de Duero, with Ribera del Duero wine
• Wine tasting courses
• Tourist Route: Ruta del Vino (Wine´s Route)
• Conferences
• Sonorama Kids, a show specially designed for children, since 2011

During all 14 editions, the festival has had an international character, but mainly it focuses on the Spanish music scene. In its last edition, in 2011, more than 40,000 people attended the 4-day festival.
