Madrid is a powerhouse for flamenco, hosting Spain's largest festival for the genre and drawing top artists to legendary venues like Candela. The city's musical identity is deeply connected to La Movida Madrileña, a post-Franco countercultural movement that championed punk rock and synth-pop, fostering an era of open expression exemplified by slogans like "Madrid never sleeps." Beyond these historic roots, Madrid pulsates with live music across countless venues from the intimate Búho Real, showcasing indie and folk, to the grand Sala Riviera for international acts. Genres abound, with rock fans finding a home at Wurlitzer Ballroom, jazz aficionados flocking to Café El Despertar, and electronic music enthusiasts exploring Siroco.
