Last night after using the free wifi of the Apple Store in Puerto del Sol, I encountered more music in the streets.
In Callao, a man conducting and a woman playing the piano were on the back of a flat bed truck. Surrounding them were a very large group of people, all singing. At the very front women and men in typical, traditional Madrileño clothing. Some people had flyers with the lyrics. Other people just knew the music.
When the song ended, everyone clapped and whistled and rang their bycicle bells. I suddenly realized I was surrounded by bikes! The conductor said we’re off to Lavapies, come and join us!
The older ladies and men in costume walked to a bus that was waiting for them. The rest on foot or bike to Lavapies.
