Description: Vincenzo returns for another eclectic hour from the Spanish capital. In this episode, we navigate the deceptive winter sun of Madrid, discussing the city's obsession with the ongoing Padel Hexagon Cup and the looming tension of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics.

Musically, the journey moves from the acoustic calm of the Kings of Convenience to the urban jazz strut of Roy Hargrove, touching on Lebanese cinema nostalgia, classic ska, and lo-fi hip hop beats along the way. It is a soundtrack for walking through changing cities and "insane times".

Escaping the corporate noise of Madrid’s week, Vincenzo delivers a deeply curated hour of music and storytelling. This episode peels back the layers of the playlist, finding the grit behind the glamour.

Did you know soul legend Sharon Jones was a corrections officer at Rikers Island before finding fame? Or that HNNY wrote a house anthem about the imperfections of beautiful people? We dive into these stories, explore the "sad disco" of Rhye, and discuss why Neil Frances champions "dumb love" over overthinking.

From the chaotic tunnels of the M-30 to a surprising detour into the world of Bluey (yes, really), and finally landing on the biting social satire of Italy’s Rino Gaetano, this is radio for those who listen closely.

Velázquez skies, the drip of Pollock and the silence of Matisse | Bombolone 15.01.2026

Under the sharp, unyielding light of a Madrid winter, Vincenzo navigates the intersection of creative systems and urban rhythm. This episode reflects on the dialogue between Jackson Pollock’s kinetic action and Andy Warhol’s serial icons at the Thyssen-Bornemisza, contrasted with Matisse’s pursuit of essential colour at CaixaForum.

As the city vibrates with the arrival of Inverfest — featuring James Blake and Rufus T. Firefly — we also look towards the horizon as the countdown to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics begins.
