Festival Folk Tránsitos

Folk music will fill the Galileo Galilei for three nights in August. This festival comes to Madrid from Tenerife for those who love listening to great summer concerts while sipping a cold beer. Nuevo Mester de Juglaría, veterans of the stage since 1969, will open the folk sessions on Thursday 7 August. The second night will be the turn of Timpluras + Azarbe, a double session to get to know the music of the timple, a traditional guitar from the Canary Islands, and the folk music of Murcia. The festival closes with Aulaga Folk, a group from Extremadura who have been playing for 15 years, now bringing their "progressive folk ethnic rhythms" to the capital.
