      <description><![CDATA[<p>There are books that help doves take flight in the most delightful way: they are capsules of salvation that ignite the imagination and help us ascend, to reconcile our spirits in the beautiful dream of a collective (un)consciousness. With one of these special books, I want to begin this new year, 2026, perhaps with the secret hope that this year we will spread our wings and take flight with the passion ignited by the most powerful literature and the illusions it contains. I am speaking of the magnificent essay <em>The winged ones,</em> by Elisabet Riera, published by Editorial Males Herbes and endorsed by the increasingly prestigious Finestres Essay Grant.</p>]]></description>

And we know from experience that without gigs in sight, there's usually no rehearsal, and without rehearsal, bands eventually die." This is how Tià Lladó, a member of Reggaetonpare, explains it. He acknowledges that "if I had to start a band from scratch now, I might think about it more because there are not enough spaces that encourage a developing music scene." Meanwhile, Marina Viedma, a member of Es Gall de Sa Pastera, affirms that while musical creation in Mallorca is experiencing a good moment, the offer of venues to play is very limited. "There aren't many, and it often depends on the initiative of collectives that do what they can with the resources they have, whether to put on festivals or organize concerts," shares Viedma, who values certain institutional initiatives positively, but misses "a clear strategic line" in this regard.</p>]]></description>
