We will enjoy two amazing bands in this festival
Danzad Malditas was born from the encounter between Carlos Moratalla and Martina Mollo and swing dancing. It was love at first sight! After learning a few rudimentary steps, they decided to do what they did best. They gathered a group of intrepid musical explorers and immersed themselves in that rich period where the classical, the African, the popular, the European, the American, the great, the small, the divine, and the human meet in perfect balance.
A project for all audiences, from the youngest to the oldest. For dancing and also for listening. Their repertoire is carefully selected to offer dancers a 100% enjoyable experience, with tempos and dynamics that invite movement from the first beat.
Danzad Malditas is about recovering dance as communion, as a regulated and free union. As a collective creation. Swing music from the 40s, 50s, and 60s accompanied by entertaining and educational explanations. A round trip through the swing era.
The Sentimental Gentlemen is a group founded in Madrid in 2022 to exclusively play Swing music from the 1930s and 1940s in the style of the era's bands (Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and a long list of artists). Their repertoire (more than 90 songs) is carefully selected and arranged for the Lindy Hop and Balboa community, who will enjoy a live performance full of energy, subtlety, and, above all, tons of swing.
