Six different DJs will play 45 minutes before the concerts on the set installed in the Espacio Urban into which the Madrid Urban Fest Cultural Center is transformed. In tune with his music, three dancers on skates will welcome the public, interacting with them and encouraging them to join the event.
Rapper K1ZA will open the program this Friday. Next, the Argentine Sofía Gabanna will perform, trained in classical dance and flamenco, but a convinced rapper with a unique and unmistakable sound that has opened the doors of tours in Spain, Mexico and Argentina.
Gabriel Díaz, better known as Shoda Monkas, is the musician from Albacete who will close the concerts of the first weekend with his songs that start from the most classic rap to reach more experimental sounds.
Within the activities presented, experts and artists will analyze, among other issues, the collateral damage and unpredictable consequences entailed by the misuse of new technologies. The debate of this third edition takes advantage of the fact that the social network TikTok, the digital platform most used by generations Z and Alpha, has been in existence for five years, to reflect on the prevailing presence of new technologies on the scene and its effects on the creation.
In turn, the three activity workshops proposed this year will be dedicated to dance and will be taught by the dancer Oulouy, born in the Ivory Coast and one of the key artists in the current international urban dance panorama, and by the dancer and skater Laura Rollerdancer.
