Red Bull music academy
The academy is a musical workshop that travels around the world showcasing the freshest talent. They have a regular spot at the oxegen festival along with Detroit music festival, Melt! and sonar. In 2009 they introduced a now famous Florence and the Machine into our lives and we haven’t looked back since.
The world tour this year took them to; new York, paris, London, rome, sao Paulo, Detroit, Toronto, Melbourne and finished with hosting the 2011 academy in Madrid Spain. The academy took place from the 23rd of October until the 25th of November. Not only does this event ensure that the good people of Madrid get to enjoy workshops and the musical creativity of some of the best upcoming artists, they also have the pleasure of hearing lectures from legends such as RZA, Wu Tang Clan.
The venue for the academy was chosen to be the Plaza Matadero which will carry on being a music hub for the city of Madrid long after the academy is gone.
