Manzanares El Real is set to host the fifth edition of ManzaSwing this Saturday, September 19th, a day dedicated to swing music and dance offering free activities for all audiences.

The festival, organized by the LaTarara Cultural Association with the support of the Manzanares El Real City Council and the collaboration of Cada Lata Cuenta, has established itself as a cultural event combining live music, training, dancing, and social gathering.
The program will begin at 11:30 AM with 'Música en conserva'. Following that, at 12:00 PM, an introductory lindy hop workshop will be led by Fran Molina, aimed at newcomers.
At 1:00 PM, Félix “El Duende” DJ will provide a social dance session featuring music from various styles linked to jazz, swing, rhythm and blues, soul, and rock and roll.
In the afternoon, at 6:30 PM, an advanced lindy hop workshop will be held, conducted by professionals Carlos Cayuela and Irene Bataller. Later, at 7:30 PM, 'El Duende' DJ will once again provide music for social dancing.
The day's finale will take place at 9:00 PM with a performance by The Savoy Six, a Madrid-based group that revives the sound and energy of big swing bands.
This year's edition also strengthens its commitment to recycling through collaboration with the initiative Cada Lata Cuenta.
