Agenda cultural en Las Rozas: Música y cine en julio

Veranísimos, the summer program of the Las Rozas City Council, offers different outdoor proposals for the first weekend of July in three locations in the municipality: the Auditorium of Parque París, Parque 1º de Mayo, and Dehesa de Navalcarbón.

In Dehesa de Navalcarbón, on Friday at 10:30 pm, Sebastián Chames Quartet Feat will perform. The Hispanic-Argentinian pianist, with six albums and three decades of experience, leads this internationally renowned quartet. Accompanied by the legendary American double bassist Gerald Cannon – former member of McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, and Roy Hargrove’s groups; the celebrated Valencian saxophonist Javier Vercher, collaborator of Robert Glasper and Billy Hart; and the Italian drummer Elio Coppola, a regular in the European circuit and New York clubs like Smalls, Mezzrow, and Birdland. Four mature voices for a contemporary, direct, and unadorned jazz. Tickets can be purchased on the website www.lasrozas.es.

«Swing a la luz de la luna» is the title of the show that Swing Las Rozas will offer on Saturday at Parque 1º de Mayo, a special evening dedicated to Lindy-Hop and Solo-Jazz. With the Master of Ceremonies as a guide, Swing Las Rozas will present the choreography «Doin’ the Jive». Following this, a 30-minute open class will be offered to learn the basic steps, and the dance floor will be open for a lively social dance. The night will conclude with the iconic group routine «Shim-Sham». The event will start at 10 pm, with free entry until capacity is reached.

On Saturday at 10 pm, the amphitheater of Parque París will turn into a summer cinema for all ages where «La familia Benetón» will be screened, a comedy starring Leo Harlem as Tony, a grumpy bachelor who runs away from children. When his sister dies, he suddenly becomes the guardian of her five adopted children, each from a different country. Amid cultural clashes, daily tasks, and doubts about modern parenthood, Tony will learn that true family is not always determined by blood: sometimes it is built with those we choose every day. Entry to the movie session is free until capacity is reached.

Additionally, the exhibition program continues to offer «Gotas» by Mariano Cobo at Sala Auditorio until July 20. An artist with a broad and recognized trajectory in the national art scene, «Gotas» showcases key pieces from his new phase, where through painting and sculpture, he offers a fusion of figurative and abstract elements, discovering colors and shapes that lead him to embark on new aesthetic paths.

«Get Wet for Multiple Sclerosis» is an event organized by the Madrid Multiple Sclerosis Foundation (FEMM) on Sunday at the Dehesa de Navalcarbón sports complex pool. This event, held at over 800 beaches and pools in Spain, aims to raise funds and contribute to the fight against this disease. Volunteers will be at the pool counting the meters «swum for multiple sclerosis» and encouraging users to «get wet», and promotional material can be purchased to help people with Multiple Sclerosis access specialized social care and rehabilitation services. The event will start at 10:30 am and will continue until 7 pm. More information: www.mojateporlaem.org.
