The concert scheduled for Friday, October 30, at the Prado National Museum, as part of the Flipas 2026 program, has been canceled by the Museum in accordance with guidelines from the Ministry of Culture following the declaration of official mourning after the tragic train accident in Urda (Toledo).
We apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation may cause and appreciate the public’s understanding.
The Prado National Museum is hosting a double bill featuring Ben Bertrand and Blckwa, two approaches to sound creation that blend instrumental experimentation, electronic music, and club culture.
The Artists
Ben Bertrand
, a Belgian bass clarinetist and composer, presents *Relic Radiation*, released by the Stroom label. His work combines the clarinet with electronic devices to create soundscapes that bridge ancient musical traditions and contemporary experimentation. He has performed at venues and festivals such as Rewire, Cafe OTO, Ina GRM, and Sonic Acts, and has collaborated with Christina Vantzou.
Blckwa
A Madrid-based artist, she incorporates genres such as kuduro and batida—linked to Angola, her parents’ country of origin—into her sets. Her setlist combines Afro house, Afrobeats, and underground sounds, with a special focus on rhythm and connecting with the audience.

Flipas 2026: A Laboratory of Urban Cultures
Under the artistic direction of Mateo Feijóo, Flipas is celebrating its ninth edition with 19 artists from eight countries. Its program features residencies, workshops, concerts, and performances that bring together disciplines such as sound art, performance art, dance, graffiti, spoken word, and film.
The project was launched in 2017 as a collaboration between Naves Matadero–International Center for the Performing Arts, the Goethe-Institut Madrid, and the Alliance Française, as part of the Franco-German Cultural Fund. Since then, it has expanded its network of participating institutions and venues.
In 2026, it will receive support from EUNIC Madrid, the SGAE Foundation, the Prado Museum, La Casa Encendida, Casa San Cristóbal of the Montemadrid Foundation, Carlos III University of Madrid, and the Ayuntamiento de Leganés, among other organizations.
With activities in both the center and the outskirts of Madrid, Flipas promotes exchange between artists and young people, shared learning, and cultural participation. Its decentralized approach seeks to broaden access to contemporary art and strengthen the ties between citizens, artistic practices, and public spaces.
