Traffic cuts and 300 policemen at Puerta de Alcalá for Camilo’s free concert

The good boy of reggaeton has revolutionized the heart of Madrid. Tomorrow, the Puerta de Alcalá will be transformed into the setting for Camilo, the 28-year-old Colombian musician who has triumphed on the international scene without sexist lyrics or allusions to sex in his songs. Her free concert is the icing on the cake of an extensive program by the festival of theSpanishness that the Community of Madrid kept secret for months; “an important Latin artist,” they announced, without further details, before the summer. The Madrid City Council estimates that around 26,000 people will attend the event, this Sunday at 1:00 p.m.

The Puerta de Alcalá will be blocked during the weekend. The assembly of the stage has closed this midnight the up and down lanes between the monument and the Plaza de Cibeles, and they will not reopen until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday. The traffic cuts they will be extended tomorrow, from 9 am, to the streets of Alcalá, Marqués del Duero, Alfonso XI, Pedro Muñoz Seca and the entire Plaza de la Independencia. The event also coincides with the Sunday pedestrianization of Paseo del Prado, between 9 am and 4 pm.

The city council, which has recommended the use of public transport, has designed a mobility plan and a special security device. Until 300 municipal police, with drones from the Air Support Unit, will supervise the concert, which will last about two hours. To control the capacity, the agents will establish a single access through Plaza de Cibeles and, if necessary, will enable alternative entrances on the side of Paseo de Recoletos and Paseo del Prado. The public will be able to enter from 9:30 a.m., while the exit, around 3:00 p.m., can be done in the entire environment.

However, the Hispanic Heritage festival kicks off 24 hours before Camilo’s concert, with a ride which will tour Bravo Murillo street this Saturday afternoon, between Cea Bermúdez and the Bilbao roundabout, starting at 6:30 p.m. The parade will be an exhibition of folklore in which nine groups and more than 150 artists from Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Mexico and Spain will participate. An ode to Hispanic cultures through music, dance, street theater and even a 6 meter high puppet.

music and fireworks

A Bolivian diablada, dances from Chilean Patagonia and Colombian folklore, among other activities, will adorn Bravo Murillo this Saturday. However, this street parade is just one of the almost 130 proposals organized by the Madrid Government, between October 4 and 12, which aims to turn the region into a benchmark for the celebration of the Fiesta de la Hispanidad through exhibitions, literary acts, gastronomic days, theatrical performances and concerts.

For its part, the Palacio de Cibeles has its own show. Next Wednesday, October 12 (Hispanic Heritage Day), the Department of Culture, Tourism and Sports has designed a night of music and pyrotechnics. At 9 pm, the young Marina Carmona will perform her own songs and versions of legendary songs by her father, Antonio Carmona, such as ‘Vente pá Madrid’. Then it will be the turn of the Fireworks, the final touch to the celebrations of the national holiday. For 10 minutes, a pyrotechnics ‘show’ will shine in the Plaza de Cibeles, with lights that will dance to the sound of renowned Spanish music composers such as Albéniz, Falla, Turina and Cristóbal Halffter; It will also be a tribute to the latter, who passed away last year.

Like Camilo’s concert, Wednesday’s show will be free, it will be open to all Madrid residents and the fountain of the goddess Cibeles will be fenced off to make way for the fireworks. “For the first time, the Madrid City Council joins the celebrations for Hispanic Heritage Day on October 12,” the delegate councilor for Culture, Andrea Levy, tweeted this Friday. The culmination of a week overflowing with celebrations.
