Going through Madrid at the stroke of 'great song': the musical routes that triumph through the Center

A body goes through the center of Madrid.

It has been at 20 hours,

.

It is a cold body of winter.

Moth-eaten muscles and tendons that no longer remember the last time they vibrated, damn covid.

This body that was dislodged in discotheques, that exploded with a life of its own at the slightest melody, today is lazy, unaccustomed.

Now he only turns to avoid

, who crowd in the hunt for

lights

.

Make way, the GRAN MADRID appointment is today with

.

Without headphones: Who tells you to accept the invitation?

Dancing, how was that?

The only thing missing was a dance tour with such an accumulation of crowds.

You are no longer for these embarrassments ...

Founded in 2018 by

, Baialaloloco organizes one-hour group tours to move to the rhythm of wireless and luminous headphones, from the Plaza de Santa Ana to the Plaza Mayor. "In 2017 I went to

, in Edinburgh, and suddenly, sitting on a terrace, people appeared dancing. From outside you didn't hear anything. But you could see their faces of joy, of illusion, they were having a blast! I signed up and ... it

. As much as to gamble and bring it to Spain, "says Mario.

Today he is dressed in yellow, with a guide flag so as not to lose him between the bustle of shopping and crowded terraces, and accompanied by

, who are wearing headphones and will ensure the safety of the dancers. "Today two groups have canceled us, as a precaution, although dancing in the open air is clearly something safe. One group was of people with Down syndrome, who also call us from associations and companies and, of course, with the omicron ... But now we will be about 20, the capacity is limited, "he explains with his energy as an entertainer.

And he challenges:

Coque connects wireless headphones, with

technology

to isolate outside sound, and synchronized with Mario's microphone and his list of songs.

"The dj is inside with the people, guiding and proposing games while we go through emblematic spaces".

The group, passing through the San Miguel market.JM

With headphones: Talk no more.

As if it were a musical, that you have swallowed them all.

What do outsiders matter?

Give us scares.

"There are people who start out shy, but it doesn't mean that you have to dance, exposed. It's very group-oriented.

When you realize it, you're in the thick of it. What is generated is pure envy in the eyes of passersby, "Mario says with a laugh. The questioning glances towards the group are already beginning: four women dressed in multicolored Santa Claus hats - "Las Parcheesi" -; two bouncy couples who repeat -one, for the third time-; several from an Embassy - more than enough, there are two who would pass a

of dancers - ... "It is for all audiences", serena Mario: "Last week

, they enjoyed it.

It is not essential to know how to dance. "

With headphones: AC / DC.

We started strong.

And to sing.

"Hiiiighway to hell, hiiighway to hell ...".

Guitar movements.

Jumps.

Where we go?

To dance in front of the 'doors' of the Hawaiian.

They add up!

How easy the rock.

And Madrid opens the way for you.

For the first time, the others dodge, those who are not in this free-floating sound and electrified bubble, in a time in which one watches in amazement who lets out a hum in a wagon.

Here the street is recovered, the movement.

"There is nothing at random. Each playlist adjusts to the route. We click on

... and birthday gifts or requests".

On the outskirts of the Plaza Mayor, to the surprise of pedestrians.JM

Silent

had their outbreaks since 1994, between eco-activists and the

, and their first flirtations in 2005, in an artistic installation by the

Meg Duguid, at the

.

That year, the

(USA) scheduled an event under that term, extended as

culture .

Although the

(Belgium) claims the big bang of this party phenomenon with its

, since 2002. And here, Bailaloloco extends it to the collective show.

With headphones: A soul line of disco music! Like the Soul Train show on TV. To strut like Travolta and his 'bumps'. This is 'Saturday Night Fever' in the middle of Jacinto Benavente. We do not stop. And now to the 'Grease'. From the terraces they applaud. And this spontaneous? Who joins! But if you don't hear anything.

Mario celebrates: "

It is good to do it in a local, but why not in the open air, if we dance at the town festivals or the verbenas. Spanish is a bailongo, with a lot of sense of humor for that. And the people He needs it. Dancing, like laughing, is needed. " And this

, in their last open show of 2021 - they

- proves it. Hopefully, you end up in the Plaza Mayor learning a traditional Palestinian dance, because there is no lack of plurality, or enthusiasm, among these new dancers.

,

Mario finally breathes.

'Bonus track': This body cracks;

scarf and coat are left over.

Lightweight, he returns home wiggling a foot on the ground.

From another frequency, the voices reach far between the arcades and booths of the square.
