Volkswagen presents the ID. Cross concept and the most important thing is not the car, it is the flying in its strategy

by

The automotive segment celebrates one of its big weeks. The Munich Motor Show, now renamed IAA Mobility, brings together these days to theThe manufacturers that present their novelties For the coming months, and one of them is a Volkswagen that has taken the appointment as a crucial event to rethink the future of its electric cars. Have already confirmed that They will stop using rare names for their EV And they have taken the opportunity to show their new SUV 100% electric: The ID. Cross concept. It will be ‘Made in Spain’ and a key piece to fight against the avalanche of Chinese cars. In addition, the buttons return. Change of concept. Something worth clarifying is the name. Id. Cross is like the electric version of the Volkswagen T-Cross, but that surname ‘Concept’ can mislead when indicating that it is a prototype. In this case it doesn’t seem like something like What Jaguar did a few months agosince the images that the brand has shared have a more street air than prototype. It is expected that the final version is similar to what they just showed. But the important thing is the name. VW wants to give a fly to some of its recent policies, the choice of the name being a sample that The experiments are over. The new pole will be the pole and this new SUV is an ID. (which identifies your electric family) with the surname ‘Cross’. The numbers are also over They can confuse more than anything else. SUV + EV = Win. About design, as our partners detail Motorpasionwe have a car very similar to the combustion T-Cross. It has 4.16 meters long, 1.83 wide and a height of 1.58 meters. The main trunk will be 450 liters, similar to the combustion version, but add another 25 liters in a small compartment in the front. That it is a SUV, although with a compact size, it is a very interesting strategy in terms of potential autonomy. VW has not given details about its capacity, but it has indicated that it will have 420 km approved WLTP and a 175 km/h tip. It will be based on the MEB platform and will be built in the same money as its cousin, the Skoda Epiq: that of Landaben In Pamplona. “Id. Cross shows that we offer again, finally, the correct name. With this new generation of VE, we now meet our promises” – Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen This combination of Urban SUV Together with EV, he promises to be one of the golden egg chickens for manufacturers, since it is A very demanded format And, in addition, the extra space in front of a compact or utilitarian allows to install a larger battery, reducing the time that passes in the plug and expanding its versatility. It wasn’t so difficult Back to the button. Apart from the outside, VW has shown images of the interior of this ‘concept of preerie’. Very diaphanous, soft colors, different materials and completely folding seats to maximize the load. We will see how this translates into the final model, but there are two elements that are very important. On the one hand, the screens are not missing. We have two: one behind the 11 -inch steering wheel with the digital instruments and another 13 -inch central for the entertainment info system. But something that is obvious and that, curiously, VW does not detail in its release It is the return of the buttons. Companies have launched Tactile controls on screenssomething that has been eating the physical buttons Even in brands that seemed to star in the ‘resistance’ To this trend. The problem of the screens is that they can fail and are less intuitive than a button. VW minimized these physical controls by installing digital buttons that gave several headaches to the brand, and After the alluvion of criticismcomes the flying that the company itself already warned with that “It is not a mobile, it is a car“ In these images, however conceptual they are, we see that there are a lot of buttons both in the steering wheel and under the central screen, as well as a joystick that seems to control for that infotainment screen. Declaration of intentions looking at China. Thus, and as much as it is not a final car (although it will be necessary to see how much the unit of this of Preserie moves, the id. Cross confirms the change of course of a brand like VW: the buttons return, the family names return. And those decisions are consolidated with a model that will be vital for the company for a very simple reason: the competition in this sector will be fierce. In the same Mobility, Stellantis has received with open arms A ship arrived from China up to LEAPMOTOR B10. Although the Chinese brands are consolidating in the West with All types of motorizationsthey continue to have great interest in electricity for those who control the world battery market, and this B10 is the result of the Agreements between Stellantis and Leapmotor To assault the 100% electric compact terrain in which the ID wants to compete. Coss. In fact, the VW model is somewhat more compact with an autonomy similar to that of B10. The last of the concepts. The competition is served with rivals such as the Renault Scénic E-Techhe Byd Atto 3 or the MG ZS EVbut to see this new id. Cross we will have to wait. In its presentation, the brand has confirmed that the ID will first arrive. Polo, then the id. Polo GTI and later, but in 2026, the definitive version of this ID. Cross. On the price they have not said anything, but taking into account the segment in which they want to compete, it is expected to be positioned in the 30,000 euros window. At the moment, the IAA Mobility has served to see a clear response from the German brand to two controversies in … Read more

Our brain also “draws the garbage.” And it is one of the reasons why sleep is so important

by

We have known for a long time that sleep is more than rest, it is a vital need such as eating or breathing. Lack of sleep can have devastating consequences on our physical state, but also on our mental state. The big question for many scientists is why, a question that we have not yet answered at all, but in whose resolution we have advanced significantly. Sleep and dementia. A line of research that in recent years has gained importance has been the one that studies the role of the glinphathic system in the relationship between our dream and the appearance of dementia. The key would be in the “cleaning” work that this system exerts in our brain. The glinphathic system. The glinphathic system can be seen in certain contexts such as a cerebral analogue of the Lymphatic system. This forgotten anatomical system exercises different tasks in our body, being one of them to “take out the garbage”, clean the accumulation of waste generated by cells and eliminate harmful substances that may be present in our tissues. The lymphatic system does not extend through our brain, but someone must perform this important task in the central nervous system. A few years ago we began to understand who and how. The problem is that we have not yet managed to find out the most relevant aspects of the call GLINFATIC SYSTEM. Cleaning the plates. This cleaning work could be linked to the appearance of diseases such as Alzheimer’s. In A recent article in The conversationa group of researchers from the Macquarie University formed by Julia Chapman, Camilla Hoyos and Craig Phillips, explained this relationship. This hypothesis is based on the role they play in the appearance of the disorder Beta-amyloid proteins (Aβ). Over time these proteins tend to accumulate in our brain and, if they are not refined, they form plates that hinder the proper neurological functioning, damaging the brain and giving rise to the appearance of the disease. Night work The hypothesis that links sleep and Alzheimer’s way of the glinphathic system is also based on the idea that it is during the dream that the system takes the opportunity to clean impurities and toxins. However, the doubts about what the dream is what this relationship unleashes. As Chapman, Hoyos and Phillips stand out, studies sometimes seem to contradict, for example when measuring if the Aβ levels we find in the brain liquid are greater during sleep or during vigil. From mice to people. One of the problems we find in this line of research is that much of what we know we know it thanks to studies in micewhile the analysis with humans are limited. However, some studies have managed to approach the problem from human biology. An example cited by the team is A study Posted in 2018 in the magazine Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Pnas). In it the team observed how a simple night of sleep deprivation could cause Aβ levels to increase significantly in the hippocampus. The study therefore reinforces the theory that the dream is closely linked to the probability of dementia. The risks of insomnia. The 2018 study was conducted in healthy people who experienced a night of sleep deprivation. So what about people who have insomnia or similar problems? This issue is different and requires a separate study. According to Macquarie’s team, some analysis carried out with people with insomnia and sleep apneas (interruptions caused by breathing problems) have associated these types of problems with a higher risk of dementia or with lower levels of Aβ. This again seems to support the thesis of a relationship between sleep and dementia mediated by this “cleaning system.” Another relevant issue is how sleeping pills influence, if it is at sleeping facilitate the functioning of the glinphathic system or if on the contrary the effect of these does not facilitate their night activity. A study Made in mice and published this year in the magazine Cell points to the second possibility since these compounds They did not activate the appearance of norepinephrinea compound that seems to perform an important rum in this “drain” function of toxins and other harmful compounds for the brain.

Nvidia has become the most important company in the world. His problem is that he has all the eggs in the same basket

by

In Nvidia everything goes on wheels, but Not even enough for Wall Street. The latest quarterly results report has once again demonstrated Eun Eun Exceptional Power, but be careful. The most important company in the world –by stock marketat least – has an Achilles heel. A dangerous concentration of customers. He Official document With the financial results, it refers to a “risk of concentration” of the great clients of Nvidia. The situation is really worrying, because Six customers They accumulate 85% of all income from the company: 10,750 million dollars – Customer A (23% of total ingreoss) 7,480 million dollars – Customer B (16%) 6,540 million dollars – Customer C (14%) 5,140 million dollars – Customer D (11%) 5,140 million dollars – Customer E (11%) 4,670 million dollars – Customer F (10%) The problem goes more, no less. If we only look at the two most important customers, A is responsible for 23% of Nvidia and B revenues of 16%: 39% of income therefore come from only two clients. A year ago the two largest Nvidia clients were responsible for 14% and 11% of income, 25% in total. These data raise an inevitable question: who is who in that client cast. And the answer is not simple. Direct customers … Nvidia makes a distinction between those clients to whom he refers to the document, and that are divided into two large groups, the first is that of direct customers, which are not end users of their chips, but companies that buy the chips and that mounted them in complete systems or on plates that then sell to data centers, infrastructure suppliers in the cloud or final cloud. Among the examples, they indicate In CNBCwould be Foxconn, Quanta or Dell. … and indirect customers. This is where those companies would enter that we are all thinking and use these chips – which they buy from direct customers – in Your gigantic data centers. Microsoft, Openai, Meta, Google, Tesla/Xai and Meta – and even Oracle – are clear candidates, but again, it is impossible to know for sure who is on that list of great buyers. But the two most important are direct. What they do indicate in Nvidia is that customer A and B are direct customers, so they are not theoretically none of those great technological ones. But those definitions of Nvidia are somewhat diffuse, and the company states that some direct customers buy chips to create systems for their own use, so Any of the Big Tech I could enter that definition. To curl the curl, Nvidia said that two of its indirect clients each of them were responsible for 10% of their total income, but above all through the purchase of systems from customers A and B. OpenAI in the pools. In Nvidia they talked about “an AI research and development company” contributed with a “significant” amount of income both through direct and indirect customers. Here are more candidates, but one of the strongest would be Openai, especially now that he is working In the Stargate project. But the situation is dangerous. Be as it may, depending on both so few clients is delicate and creates a dangerous dependency chain. Thus, Nvidia depends on intermediaries that in turn They depend on a handful of technological giants. The company’s destination is in the hands of two buyers who represent almost 40% of their business, but the risk is not only for Nvidia, but for the entire technological ecosystem that depends on their chips. There are not only companies, there are countries buying gpus. Another of the curious data of this report is the one that tells us about how Some foreign governments They are also buying chips massively. In fact, the company expects to enter 20,000 million dollars in these “Sovereign” projects with countries that try to create their own models and artificial intelligence infrastructure.

The vision vision want to succeed where Apple’s vision failed. At the moment they do it in the most important: the weight

by

The living Chinese manufacturer is anniversary, and to celebrate it has just presented in China a surprise and very promising product: its new mixed and augmented reality glasses, the LIVE VISION Discovery Edition. This launch involves the debut of this manufacturer in a category that will be encouraged a lot in the coming months, but makes it ahead of its competitors in the Android market, especially to the Google/Samsung Alliance. But it also does it with an argument of the most striking: the weight. More compact, lighter, more comfortable? Thus, we are facing glasses that are clearly inspired by the Vision Pro of Apple and that are very similar both externally and in their benefits, but that exceed them in that section notably. Thus, Apple’s glasses weigh between 600 and 650 grams depending on the band and adjustment pad, but These vision weigh 398 grams and are 26% more compact In dimensions “that the average of the industry”, say its creators, probably referring precisely to the Apple model. Live they say that these glasses are the result of four years of development and in their design they have taken into account comfort when wearing them for long sessions. Live have taken into account the pressure that the glasses exert in lasting sessions: no marks around the eyes after 30 minutes of use, their creators say. We already saw how the options of bands and adjustments of the Apple Vision Pro were not optimal – they had to get an optional to solve the complaints – and in fact after prolonged sessions it is normal to end a mark around the eyes due to the pressure exerted by the glasses on the face. That weight is really surprising, especially considering that for example, Apple’s vision are located at 600-650 g. With the vivid vision that problem seems to have disappeared and the manufacturer offers four light sealing sizes and eight padded options to try to guarantee maximum comfort in both long sessions and if we move with the glasses. The operating system that governs these glasses is Originos Vision, which offers an interface similar to the one we had already seen in the vision pro and on Android XR. Before us, a series of icons appear for which we can move thanks to the “millimeter precision ocular monitoring” (1.5º), as they point out. The ORIGINO VISION OPERATING SYSTEM INTERFACE is the one that both the Apple and Android XR vision. The gesture control system with the fingers also seems promising, and as Vivo allow 26 degrees of freedom in fingers, while the vertical monitoring range is 175º. The handling of glasses is therefore theoretically identical to that of Apple’s vision. The quality of the screens is also really promising, because it has Micro-Oled 8K dual screens with a 94% DCI-P3 coverage and a deltae chromatic precision

AI has just taught us the future of the most important application of our life: subscription browsers

by

How much of what you do on the computer do it in the browser? Exact. A lot. We don’t think too much about it, but The browser is the application by antonomasia of our time. Not so much on the mobile, where native apps – which are often browsers disguised as something else – triumph, but of course in desktop and laptops. The Internet has been the indirect guilty of this transformation of the browser in one of the pillars of our life. The greats of technology know it well, and for more than three decades they have tried to conquer with their browsers to dominate the world. Of that mythical Netscape We become absolutely dominated by Microsoft Internet Explorerand after the occasional scarce with Firefox —Now in really low hours– We end up yielding to a Wonderful and disturbing Google Chrome. This company, by the way, was clear from the beginning how important the browser was. So much that they created an operating system absolutely focused on that idea: they called it Chrome Os. During all this time, yes, there was something inherent to all those browsers: They were free. Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla, Opera and of course Google gave them to us. They did not need to charge for them because they earned (and earned) a lot of money indirectly with their integration of search engines, especially Google’s. They tell Apple: Google pays about 20,000 million a year so that your search engine is the native in Safari. If you pay so much, imagine what you earn through the searches made by users of the iPhone, iPad or Mac. Thus, using the browser has always been something we have done without thinking that it could cost us money. That will change very soon. Hello, subscription browser And it will change because before us a new era opens in which browsers want to be much more than that. And to achieve this they have allied with AI models that allow interaction with websites to be much more powerful. The promise of browsers with AI It is exceptional. One of the first, Perplexity Cometit autocalifies as “the browser that thinks with you.” Like him, browsers with AI are able to summarize that article that you are reading or answer questions about it, integrate conversational engines and little by little they are beginning to integrate something especially promising: AI agents What do things for us. That click alone and fill for forms and that they even overcome captchas without help. But do that this time will not be free. Not at least if we want to use those options intensively. This is what The Browser Company is already raising, the company that first developed Arc and? He abandoned it To launch your own browser with the call day. Josh Miller, CEO of The Browser Companyhe confessed in An interview With The New York Times that in the coming weeks will launch subscription plans that will go from five dollars a month to hundreds of dollars a month, depending on how much users want to take advantage of the NA of the browser. There will still be a free version that will allow a limited use (probably very) of these options, but the future of this browser is not to be a browser, but to be a subscription browser. The decision made by this company is totally logical: Using AI is not cheap, and using it is still less cheapso if you want to do it, you will have to pay. It is the same as we are seeing with the different models: Chatgpt, Gemini or Claude can be used for free, but if you want to use them intensively and access their most advanced options, it is time to pay by pointing to their subscription plans, as is the case with Chatgpt Plus, Google Ai Pro or Claude Pro respectively. Browsers are already the most widespread way to interact with AI, so it is logical to think that all of them – Hello, Firefox? – will end up integrating these functions. He has done it day, he has done it, he just did it Edge with your co -pilot mode And it is expected that Integration between Gemini and Chrome So it is much more direct. All of them will remain free in their basic versions. We can normally navigate as we have always done, but if we want to go further, if we want to use all those attractive AI options, Touch to pay a subscription. One that will be increasingly expensive. We will have to go to the idea. In Xataka | Anthropic has seen that their users do not stop using the 200 euros plan a month of their AI. They had to stop their feet

Openai has invested billions in chips. His only problem is that he has forgotten something important: cables

by

While Openai designs increasingly complex models and promises cities size data centers, a much more terrestrial reality threatens to stop the advance: the electrical infrastructure is not ready for what is coming. At the beginning of the year. Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO) promised, together with Oracle and SoftBank, an investment of 500,000 million dollars in AI infrastructure Under the name Stargate. The announcement, Made at the White House with President Trumphe talked about building 10 gigawatts of data centers on American soil by 2029. However, the start has been slower than expected. According to The Wall Street Journalnot a single formal contract with SoftBank has not been signed, and the first center, in Ohio, is still in the evaluation phase. Meanwhile, Openai has advanced on his own, expanding his alliance with Oracle to develop 4.5 more gigawatts, adding more than 5 GW under construction, As the company itself has reported. A big problem behind. This does not only affect Openai, rather the entire AI sector since no investment or quantity of GPUS can solve the true bottleneck of the sector alone: the electricity grid. As Le Monde explainedtraining models such as GPT-4 consumes dozens of gigawatts -hora, but the real challenge is in the “inference”, that is, in daily use. Each consultation to a model like Chatgpt implies complex calculations that consume energy every second. From the International Energy Agency (IEA), It was warned That the global electricity consumption of data centers could double before 2030, exceeding 945 TWH, more than all Japan today. And there the paradox appears: we can generate more energy, but we have no how to move it. In other words, high voltage lines, transformers, substations, adequate land, permits, technicians are missing. It’s like wanting to fill a city with bottled water, but without having pipes. The project continues. In a last statementOpenai has affirmed that its expansion with Oracle is already creating tens of thousands of jobs in Texas and that the objective of the 10 gigawatts is on its way to being surpassed thanks to new alliances. The Stargate I site, in Abilene, has already begun to operate with NVIDIA GB200 chips. However, As the Wall Street Journal has detailed, Disagreements with SoftBank persist on where to build, how to finance and how to connect data centers to electrical networks that are already saturated. Sam Altman recognized the challenge in an internal memorandum cited by axios: “The thirst for computer science is beginning to tension the supply chain and demands some real creativity.” Other paths: atomic energy. Faced with these limitations, technological giants are looking for solutions outside the traditional electrical system. The answer, for many, is in a surprising return: nuclear energy. Goal has signed a 20 -year contract with Constellation Energy to supply part of its data centers from a nuclear plant in Illinois. Google and Amazon They have also opted for small modular reactors (SMR). Microsoft, meanwhile, will reopen a closed nuclear power plant since 2019exclusively to support your AI infrastructure. Nvidia has not been left behind. In 2024, it invested 650 million dollars in Terrapower, the company founded by Bill Gates that is building the first Natriat reactor, a fourth generation machine that, According to their developersIt will generate electricity by half of the cost of a conventional reactor. The project, which takes place in Wyoming, has a Spanish participation: the public company sees the reactor cover. Without cables, there is no ia. Meanwhile, the number of users continues to grow. Chatgpt reached 800 million active users in April, According to Altman cited in axios. Each of them generates requests, questions, images, instructions, and all that consumes energy. According to Le Mondetasks as simple as writing an email can be more than 7% of a complete mobile phone charge. And generating an image consumes even more. Elon Musk says his company XAI already operates with 230,000 GPUS, and expects 550,000 more. The AI does not rest, but the cables that feed do not supply. Artificial intelligence promises to change the world, but before it will have to face something more basic than any algorithm: the physical laws of electrical systems. There is no needless. There are no servers without energy. And there is no energy without cables.

Ozzy Osbourne was key to lighting something almost more culturally important than metal: television realities

by

The death of Ozzy Osbourne is generating multiple manifestations of condolenceand it is not for less: one of the latest genuine stars of classic rock leaves. However, although his passage through Black Sabbath and his solo career are his most relevant milestones within music, it is also worth remembering him for how he helped configure modern television in one of his most popular aspects: the reality shows. The Lord of Darkness. It is impossible to summarize here the relevant role that Ozzy Osbourne has in the history of rock, as it is impossible ‘I’m Ozzy’, edited by Espop). However, and despite the success of classics such as’Crazy Train‘ either ‘War Pigs‘, In 2002 nobody already remembered Ozzy. Until The Osbournes revolutionized the genre of realities forever. Mrs. Osbourne. Sharon Osbourne was Ozzy’s wife since 1982, although he had been as a representative of his solo career since 1979 (his father, a historic industry, had also been Black Sabbath’s manager). Sharon was fundamental in Ozzy’s sound in the 80s, oriented to a more pop metal that opened the doors of the MTV. And it was also the brain of the reality ‘The Osbournes’, conceived as a project in which their children were clips presenters, but ended up evolving to show the daily life of the family. His inspiration was also MTV’s canonical reality ‘The Real World’, but with a difference. Here the protagonists were famous. The never seen. The concept was very novel for the time: show the intimacy of a famous family, of the most trivial details to the most dramatic. The chaos that breathed Ozzy’s life gave him a strange air of likelihood and lost that semi-guy air of ‘The Real World’. Success was immediate: razed in audience (In his day, it was the most watched program in the history of the channel) and became the first program of its kind in win a primetime emmyin the category of best non -fiction series. The fault that MTV will become a video clip channel to one of realitieswith programs such as’ Jersey Shore ‘(a phenomenon that would give rise to’ Gandía Shore ‘),’ Teen Mom ‘, ’16 and pregnant’ or ‘catfish’ coping the channel grill? It is from ‘The Osbournes’. Sitcoms in real life. What makes ‘The Osbournes’ so iconic is possibly that he had all the elements of a classic sitcom (hallucinated but endearing father, cunning mother, rebel children), but with themes and vocabulary that could not be seen in a fiction series (continuous swear Patriarch jumping again and again Sharon’s attempts to have something remotely similar to a script. Something of that spirit was transmitted to the next great success (which still lasts) of the genre, ‘Las Kardashian’ and, in Spain, ‘Alaska and Mario’. Ephemeral success, indelible footprint. The program only lasted four seasons, not for a fall at the audience, but because Success surpassed its protagonists. Ozzy was not prepared for all that attention again (in fact, he fell to the drink), and Jack had to go to therapy. He configured, yes, the image of Ozzy that already accompanied him until his death: a rock star that started snacks of pigeons on stage, but with which you would not mind sitting up for a while in front of TV in slippers to listen to his comments about the “horrible, horrible music” that the kids do today.

When Mercedes manufactured a “F1” street to three million euros each, he forgot something important: that they would not catch fire

by

The Mercedes-Am One, one of The most advanced hyper -sports And exclusive to the planet, has been called to review for a problem that, in principle, could be considered insignificant. However, it can end with a car that is around 3 million euros wrapped in flames. For this reason, the owners of 219 of the 275 units that Mercedes manufactured from this model have received a review call to be carefully reviewed. A tiny mistake, a huge risk. Mercedes-Benz has issued a revision call for the Mercedes-AMG One due to a possible failure in the hydraulic system that activates its active rear wing. According to data of the Federal Motorized Transport Authority of Germany (KBA), 219 units manufactured between December 12, 2022 and May 9, 2025 could be affected by this defect in its manufacture. The problem lies in a small piece of the hydraulic system, a pin or clip, whose function is to guarantee the stagnant closure of the hydraulic circuit. As read in the report of the call to review, the absence of this piece can cause flammable fluid leaks that, in contact with hot parts of the engine, are a real risk of fire. The solution: fast and without complications. Despite the potential severity of the failure, repair is apparently simple and does not require disassembling the vehicle or making structural changes. KBA sources They have explained to Motor1.com That a specialized technician must check if the pin in question is present and, if necessary, will be installed in an intervention that lasts approximately 90 minutes. So far, the brand has not officially related this defect to the fire suffered in June AMG One, as he said Autobild. That was the second unit of an AMG One that has burned. The first burned while They were preparing it to deliver it And I was already uploaded to the transport truck. That is why the brand considers that there is no connection between those incidents and the spoiler’s pin. A very complex hybrid hypercoche. Beyond the shock that more than one owner will have had when receiving the brand notice, the Mercedes-AMG One is a record supercar. HE presented in 2017 as ‘Project One ‘and was developed for years by the complexity of adapting a V6 engine of Formula 1 with four electric motors to give a total power 1,063 hp and echo on your windshield. The first units did not begin to be manufactured until 2022 as published Coach. Of the 275 units manufactured, 183 have remained in Germany, while the rest are distributed throughout the world. The exclusivity of a street F1. The Mercedes-AMG One is a superxclusive car and with a very complex development given the nature of its mechanics. In fact, the development of the car was so complicated that neither Ola Källenius, president of Mercedez-Benz agreed with its manufacture. “I will have to check the minutes of the meeting again, but I am sure we were drunk when we said yes,” joked the Swedish manager in statements to Coach.

Classical music concerts are fashionable again because the important thing is not classical music: they are the candles

by

Pure Zeitgeist. In times when live music It can no longer be live music A type of concerts triumphs in which music is an absolutely secondary element, regardless of the really important: The aesthetic experience. They are the concerts in the light of the candles, and although they have become an international phenomenon, they have their origin in Spain. What are Candlelight concerts. His own name (“in the light of the candles”) makes it clear: they are Musical performances in small enclosures or emblematic spaces, illuminated only by the light of hundreds of candles, which generates An intimate and dreamlike atmosphere that wraps musicians and the public. It is a musical experience, almost always with classical music repertoires, which seeks to distance yourself from the great events With thousands of people and great scenarios: here the silences, quiet music and the atmosphere in gloom are essential. Candle fever. Candlelight concerts emerged in 2019 as an initiative of the Spanish Platform for the Promotion and Sale of Tickets Fver. Officiallywith the aim of democratizing access to classical music and bringing it closer to new audiences. But the truth is that in Fever they knew how to understand the need for alternatives in 2019 to increasingly massive live events. The idea was to connect with the atmosphere without electricity that was lived in an original classical music concert, and from its first editions it was raised with affordable prices, so that it was popular and accessible to all types of audiences. Made in Spain. The first Candlelight concert was held in Madrid, a city from which it extended to other European capitals such as Paris and London, and from there to the United States and more than 150 cities around the world. The initial success in Spain promoted the internationalization of the format, which today adds millions of assistants on a global scale. The official figures are 3 million viewers worldwide to date, which has led to the fact that The initial intention is extended to offer classical music concerts exclusively: Pop artists such as Queen, Abba, Coldplay or Bad Bunny were soon given way. The candles are not for everyone.

Criticism They are abundantand they go from the music quality itself To the fact, something more expected, that the candles are not such, but LED lights. It is something that the organization warns from the beginning: it is not about real candles for a security issue. The reason for Candlelight’s success. It is clear: it makes a corner of the music that has been destined for elites during the last half century (do not remember, in that sense, the supposed and controversial “Democratization of creativity” that propose the IAS?), And does it with an aesthetic that reinforces that “elegant” ingredient of the proposal. But at the same time, we have a relatively affordable price, which popularizes the event. You could say that these concerts give way to the appetite of an audience that has always wanted to listen to classical music more popular without having to learn technicisms. It is normal, therefore, that Candlelight bumpes both immediate commercial success and an excéptic response from experts. It implies, in any case, a clear alternative to festivals and concerts in stadiums, although given the limitations of the proposal, perhaps we do not take too long to see how this flame weakens.
