PalmaI will celebrate the arrival of the new edition of Versud, the poetry cycle organized by the Fundació Mallorca Literària. One of its central events will begin with a reading party by Blai Bonet, hosted by the writer Sebastià Portell and will feature performances by Ölivias and Joan Rotger Julià. Immediately after, the already classic festival recital will take place, which this year will feature names like Anna Pantinat and Antònia Vicens. In the gardens of La Misericòrdia, Friday, May 22, from 7:30 PM.

I will go to Inca to enjoy a new edition of the contemporary art festival Incart, which during May has filled the capital of Raiguer with different activities and proposals. Among them is the presentation of the book Llars. A creative investigation into housing devices that will take place in the cloister of Sant Domingo, Saturday, May 23, at 11 AM.

I will attendthe presentation of Miquel Sbert's latest poetry collection, Amb ulleres de sol (Lleonard Muntaner), by the author and also writer Sebastià Alzamora. At the Embat bookstore, Wednesday, May 20, at 6:30 PM.

I will delveinto the secrets hidden within the architecture and history of the Cathedral of Mallorca at the conference Gothic art in the Cathedral and the Museum of Sacred Art of Mallorca. At the Cathedral, Wednesday, May 20, at 10 AM,

I will givean opportunity to the new Movistar + series Se tiene que morir mucha gente, based on the homonymous book written by the humorist Victoria Martín. The protagonists are three friends who are approaching thirty, burdened with problems that, although expected, do not become more bearable: work, romantic, family, and even medical crises are combined in this story starring, in the audiovisual version, by Anna Castillo, Macarena García, and Laura Weissmahr. Starting May 21.

I will be movedby all and each of the songs performed by Luz Casal at the concert she will offer at the Auditorium of Palma. She will be there to present her latest work, Me voy a permitir, which they say is the most eclectic and unclassifiable of her career, consisting of ten new songs. However, the strength and uniqueness of her voice make any melody by the singer acquire new and always valuable textures, whether with classics or new material. Friday, May 22, at 9 PM.

I will beat the Principal Theatre of Palma, in the Sala Petita, to discover how the first album of Two little rooms sounds live, a musical project that emerged from a collaboration between the singer Aina Zanoguera and the pianist and composer Gori Matas in 2023. Two years ago, they already released a first EP with only four tracks, among which stand out delicate and magnetic songs like La Mar, Darkness and Take these raindrops, among others. Sunday, May 24, at 7 PM.

I will listen to the new album by guitarist, glosadora, and composer Annabel Villalonga, the album , where she sets to music different poems by Miquel Àngel Adrover, with tracks with such suggestive titles as ‘Un pedregar subtil a dins la veu dels homes’ and ‘Contra els vells que escriuen l’amor’, among others. Available on platforms.

I will recommend going to Es Claustre, in Maó, where almost every weekend from May to September there is at least one performance worth seeing. This one features Carolina Merlo, an Argentine singer who has just released Tsunami, and the musician Antonio Mazzei, with whom she reinterprets the tracks from this latest work in an intimate format. Sunday, May 24, at 9 PM.

I will enjoy the screening of Constel·lació Portabella, a documentary about Pere Portabella, and the discussion between Jordi Balló and Claudio Zulian that is scheduled to take place immediately after. At Fundació Miró Mallorca, Thursday, May 21, at 8 PM.
