Pedro Sánchez’s musical taste is as varied as the contexts in which he decides to share music through his social networks. The latest example came this Monday, when the President of the Government published in his Instagram stories a video of the presentation of the new State Fertilizer Plan accompanied by ‘Danceteria’, Madonna’s new single.
Few images come to mind more improbable than an agricultural drone flying over a crop field in San Martín de la Vega, in Madrid, to the rhythm of a new song by Madonna, but that is exactly what happens in the video shared by Sánchez. The energy of ‘Danceteria’ accompanies the images of crops and fertilizers, while Madonna sings that “everybody get up and dance.”
We do not know if the choice responds to a personal preference or a suggestion from the communications team. If we had to bet, we would say that ‘Danceteria’ was simply one of the first songs that appeared when opening Instagram. What we do know is that it is not every day that an agricultural plan and a Madonna release share a soundtrack.
The coincidence also comes a few days before ‘Danceteria’ officially begins its run on the radio, scheduled for July 10: Sánchez has even gone ahead of Madonna herself with the promotion of ‘Danceteria’.
In any case, the publication once again demonstrates that Sánchez follows current musical news very closely. It is not the first time that he has left clues about his favorite listens: in recent weeks he has made it clear that he is excited about ‘The Mountain’, the new Gorillaz album, and we have even seen him meeting with Damon Albarn recently; and last year he revealed that Joan As Police Woman had been the artist he listened to the most on Spotify. He has also been seen on different occasions with national artists such as Amaia or Los Planetas, and has shared music from such underground proposals as Cora Yako or Restinga on his networks.
If Madonna imagined the possible scenarios in which ‘Danceteria’ could be played, we doubt that an institutional video about fertilizers would be among them. However, that has been one of the first impressions that the song has left in Spain. Pedro, you had egg ‘Plantasia’!
