"What a Madrid boat". And dozens of people in Diego de León have bounced, sang and danced with the improvised concert that came from one of the balconies, where a group has placed a loudspeaker this Sunday and performed classics such as Mi gran noche or songs by the group Taburete. The concert has ended at 20:30.

From the street the components were intuited, 'confined' in a room that served as a stage. Very close to the United States embassy , the group has entertained the afternoon shift on Sunday, the second day of the relaxation of the measures who kept the population in their houses due to the state of alarm.

The pedestrians and athletes who at that time were occupying part of the road, have stopped to follow the songs surprised by the animation. Chords are heard throughout the neighborhood. Some strangers commented on the situation and others have recorded and photographed with their mobile phones. "They are good," said one lady. Most have enjoyed the moment without heeding the government's recommendations. A large part did not wear masks.

From the balcony, the group alternated songs with messages of encouragement. "Thanks, Madrid," they repeated. People have responded with applause. No police patrol has appeared to dissolve the assembled crowd. On Saturday, officers fined groups of youths for drinking large bottles and being on the street outside of the permitted hours. "This is a tribute to the mothers. It goes for them. See you next weekend", they have finished the first concert in Madrid of the "new normal".
