Ver todo- 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 LAST MIN. FREE Jazz Concert + Expats networkingFundación Juan March, Madrid
Amazing Today´s Jazz Concert totally free, and the best like-minded expats and returned Spaniards to meet up!
After its first century of life, jazz has become an omnipresent music accepted by all. In 2024, styles conceived for the future, such as M-Base or hip-hop, have ended up being diluted in polystilistic languages. Jazz still refuses to become stagnant and likes to explore new paths, in permanent dialogue with tradition and with other genres. It prowls the abyss to produce the umpteenth spark of a new transformation.
Programme:
Rincones Oscuros
Sol
Metamorfosis
Un ligero despertar
Mi Refugio Secreto
Suite para BêlaPerformer: Moisés P. Sánchez
Composer, music producer, pianist, improviser and arranger, he is recognised as one of the main values of the Spanish and European music scene. With his own language and a rich combination of the most diverse influences, his creations transcend the usual frontiers between genres and are surprising both for the torrent of resources they employ and for their fascinating vitality and originality. Moisés was nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2019 for his album Unbalanced: concerto for ensemble, and has received the MIN Independent Music Award twice (2017 and 2022), as well as other important recognitions in the USA and Spain. He was artist-in-residence in 2022/23 at the Centro Nacional de Difusión Musical (CNDM) with two premieres at the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid. In March 2024 he released his ninth album, Dedication II, on the German label Double Moon.More info here:

Rendez-vous à 17.20 heures!! - 🇪🇸 🇬🇧 Maria Peláe+Rita Payés Concerts @Noches del BotánicoJardín Botánico de la Universidad Compl. de Madrid, Madrid
If you are staying in Madrid during summertime, attending a summer night concert at the Complutense University Botanic Gardens is a must!
Let's have some refreshments and get to know each other by the idyllic creek watching the ducklings go by. Once freshened up, we'll show our moves in front of these 2 giant female performers of flamenco-pop fusion and jazz-bolero-bossa nova scenes:
# Maria Peláe / Rita Payés
María Peláe
Tradition, modernity, festivity and cheek. All in the same person. Nothing scares the Malaga native. Neither competing in ‘Tu cara me suena’ nor performing at the Benidorm Fest. Nor mixing flamenco with electronic pop or melodic songs. She has given a good account of them in his three albums: ‘Hipocondría’ (2017), ‘La folcrónica’ (2022) or ‘Al baño María’ (2023), the latter with collaborations with Pastora Soler, Vanesa Martín, Las Niñas or NIA. Not to mention the thematic album ‘Navidad flamenca a lo Peláe’ (2024) and, of course, her brand new and iconoclastic work, ‘El evangelio’ (2025).
María Peláe, Migue de Antílopez - El Regalito (Según Sta. María)Rita Payés
The Catalan Rita Payés gave us with ‘Como la piel’ (2021) an intoxicating treatise of jazz, bolero and bossa nova, conveyed in Spanish, Catalan and Portuguese. A trombonist gifted in jazz, she has ended up demonstrating that her range of interests is much broader, and that the praise she received from C. Tangana (he confessed that her music influenced him to compose ‘Comerte entera’) were more than justified. His latest album, ‘De Camino al Camino’ (2024), is his first release made up exclusively of his own compositions, an amalgam of styles and personal influences.
