A SAN ISIDRO LIKE NEVER
Two mantras will be the protagonists of the 2019 edition: on the one hand, inclusion in programming (with passes in sign language, 200,000 bracelets to care for people with disabilities and devices such as magnetic loops or vibrating backpacks); on the other, the diversity.
Because this poster of events, concerts and shows is unparalleled : from Kiko Veneno to Los Chunguitos , from Mikel Erentxun to Novedades Carminha , from La Bien Querida to Rosario la Tremendita ... from the dreamy pop of Anni B Sweet to the unstoppable party of La Dame Blanche ; from the scoundrel of Tequila to the **feminist couplet of the Livianas Provincialas**... who doesn't dance here is because he doesn't want to . (Consult in this link all the musical programming and its schedules).
Among all the activities, we highlight a major, sidereal, interplanetary madness. It's about the session Rock and Astronomy Under the Sky , an initiative of Unitedsoundofcosmos, the International Astronomical Union, the Astrobiology Center, the European Space Agency, the Spanish Astronomy Society, the Madrid Planetarium, the South Astronomical Association.
And what is all this about? "Simplemente", an astronomy class that comes from the thinking heads of **Lagartija Nick and José A. Caballero (Unitedsoundofcosmos)**, in which we will travel to outer space through their music. "Can we delve into the darkness of the universe through rock music?" reads the program... we will have to go to the **Planetarium on May 10 (from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.) ** to find out.

A SAN ISIDRO WITH OWN LETTERS

As Manuela Carmena says in the prologue to this year's festival program: "During the walk through that Madrid at parties I don't know if we will find many cats, so called because their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were born in Madrid. No matter. In this city nobody is ever asked where they come from. The plural is our wealth. We are all Madrid, we all do the Madriles . For this reason, each year we face with renewed enthusiasm the challenge of preparing a program in which each and every one finds a place, an activity that they feel their own, a reason to go out and enjoy San Isidro". Bravo, Manuela.
