The corporate link of Brava Madrid with KKR, the investment fund with ties in Israel, has been on everyone’s lips in the last days, as the start of the festival has been approaching, which begins today.
Brava Madrid’s sepulchral silence around controversy had baffled his followers. Many have decided to return their tickets in recent days or weeks. At the same time, artists who were confirmed in the poster, as an Antillan villain, have disappeared from the programming mysteriously.
At the time of opening its doors, Brava Madrid has decided to issue a statement in which it condemns the “genocide” that is being perpetrated in Gaza, and in which it denies any “commercial or economic link with the state of Israel.” In addition, he shares Palestine flags with the slogan «Free Palestine».
Brava Madrid is totally disconnected from Israel and explains that the festival “belongs to Supersruct Entertainment, which in turn is owned by various investors, including KKR, an American fund that participates in numerous companies in many different sectors and territories.” “None of our investors has any influence on the festival’s operations,” he says, “and all our decisions are taken according to the interests of our fans, artists, partners and collaborators.”
Brava points out that “all the income and benefits of Brava Madrid remain entirely in our company and reinvote themselves in the development of festivals,” words that remind those shared by Sónar in their own statement.
Brava, as we say, starts today, with a poster that includes Anastacia, Olly Alexander, Melanie C, A*Teens, Chanel, Miss Caffeina, Ojete Heat or Julieta.
