Throughout the Summer months - which are now over - there were countless musical performances and concerts all over the city. Residents come together in their streets or neighbourhoods to put together a concert. The concerts usually take place for a couple of days and are held at various times of the day or night throughout the week.
It is a unique and novel way to advertise your neighbourhood and to attract people to come come and enjoy the music - and buy a drink and a snack.
Different styles of music are played. Some Jazz, some classical, some rock, some pop, some Spanish... At night the mood gets very festive and people come out of their homes to join in the celebration. Probably because they are not able to sleep with all the commotion going on outside!
I do like that fact that there are so many people that can still play musical instruments. In many parts of the world the love of music is alive but not many people are able to play musical instruments because music is not taught in schools or it is not promoted as a talent which people should foster. What a shame. But here is Spain, music is alive and kicking!
