More than 12,000 people have passed through the 19 scenic areas of the Monkey Week, which celebrated the last week their tenth anniversary. The best figures in a decade of existence for an event that began in the Puerto de Santa Maria with character amateur and the objective is to bet on the emerging talent in independent music.
Ten years give to much and this has been the most celebrated by organizers and the public. According to Tali Carreto, one of the codirectors of the exhibition, has been “a triumph incontestable”. For three nights we’ve hung the sign “no tickets” at the concerts held on the Stage ARE Estrella Galicia, located in the central, Teatro Alameda. In addition, the public has been distributed among 174 concerts and more than 30 activities aimed at professionals including conferences, workshops, round tables, meetings and networking.
