More than 55,000 people -25,000 foreigners- attend the electronic music festival that concludes this Sunday at 12:00.The internationality of the public, with 6,000 French, 5,000 Italians and 4,000 Americans, is one of the signs.After eight years of waiting, the Monegros Desert was reborn in fragile lands in the most massive edition in its history with a 22-hour marathon followed by electronic and urban music that should conclude this noon.More than 55,000 people from 85 countries -25,000 were foreigners- responded to the call of a festival that not even such prolonged lethargy or the pandemic have managed to break.An unappealable sign that in the agenda of priorities of its fervent followers it continues to be an unavoidable appointment.With the machines and operators rushing through the last details in the mammoth venue, the countdown ended at 2:00 p.m.With a few minutes delay due to the logistics of the access system and the reading of the tickets, and while the first song of the welcome session played by British DJ Ben Sims in the majestic Techno Cathedral - a new 70-meter stage and without columns-, thousands of people waited at the main entrance of the venue to enter this Disneyland of house, techno, drum'n'bass and hip hop.The traffic jams suffered due to the volume of vehicles and police controls did not matter.Not even the resounding sun or the heat discouraged them.They were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm to return to their promised land.When the doors opened, the dream was already a reality and, ahead, the promise of almost a day of unlimited fun.One of the first to enter was the Colombian Brian Mauricio Delgado, a resident of Bilbao, who did not hide an exacerbated emotion shouting: "Colombia is in the house. We entered Monegros, the festival of festivals."When asked about the reasons for that proclamation, he indicated: "This is much more than a series of sessions or concerts. Monegros Desert is a very influential concept, the truth of electronic music."The enthusiasm was shared by each one of those who crossed the line that made up the vigilantes, and who did not hesitate to jump or shout their uncontrollable joy to the world, in addition to immortalizing the moment with a group photograph, an Instagram 'story' or a Tik Tok.Like Mario García, 21, from Turiason, a beginner in the experience."I've come with my gang. I've liked techno since I was a kid and this is the best. I don't want to miss I hate models, Kobosil and 999999999. The plan is to last 22 hours," he shared.The first thing they ran into was the Airbus plane that has been transformed into a dance club for 800 lucky people.Proof that the word impossible does not appear in the dictionary of the Arnau family, the organizer of the event."This is crazy. Who could think of putting a plane in a festival? This only happens in this festival," said Valencian Miguel Salvador, a veteran of the celebration.And, from there, the landscape was extremely stimulating.Tents, areas with industrial aesthetics, train cars converted into DJ booths, colorful and monumental mega-stages... A great little city, with 2,200 workers and more than 55,000 inhabitants/spectators, in which all the scenery has been taken care of with great care, which amusement parkThis synchronized choreography of waiters, technicians, security agents and artists was frantically coordinating from early in the morning so that coexistence would be harmonious.In an environment as hostile as the desert and with weather conditions like those of this July, hydration was essential.For this reason, a 'washing tunnel' was set up in which to 'shower' and cool off, several strategically distributed water supply points and in some settings, such as the Techno Cathedral, it 'rained' water continuously.It should not be forgotten that the price of a half-liter bottle of water shot up to 4 euros and had to be paid -like all food and products for sale- through a telematic payment by bracelet.After the first two hours in which Ben Sims was the only sound proposal, starting at 4:00 p.m., an endless program spread over eleven stages simultaneously was served in a rush.It was impossible to embrace everything.That is why many carried a 'planning' so as not to miss their most desired artists.Like the Sevillian rappers SFDK, watchword of national hip hop, who appeared at bullfighting time, 5:00 pm, at the Sound System Temple to spread their sharp verses."I was going to say good night. It's been a long time since we played so soon", confessed the charismatic Zatu, before making a wish to the crowd: "I hope that from today and until tomorrow you only have positive feelings".An unstoppable 'in crescendo' that, as the afternoon and evening progressed, increased the intensity with names as prominent as Vitalic, Richie Hawtin, Chase & Status, Busta Rhymes, Laurent Garnier, Adam Beyer and Paco Osuna.The latter has the privilege of lowering the curtain alone from 10:00 to 12:00."There is no other party like the Monegros Desert. We have come from Viana (Portugal) a group of friends and we want to be here from the beginning to the end. Neither the heat nor the fatigue matters. What is experienced is so powerful and exciting that can only be explained being in this desert", revealed Isabel, wrapped in a Portuguese flag.The internationality of its public is one of the characteristics that define and project the festival.It is displayed on the license plates of cars in the vast parking areas and in the conversations in the bars and places of rest.The French reign (with 6,000 Gallic citizens), closely followed by the Italian (with 5,000).The fourth nationality in this ranking is the United States, with 4,000.And the Latin American contingent was also noted: Paraguay, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela...A universality and a dimension that have not dynamited the essence of the origins of the festival and its creators, the Arnau family.An imprint that was felt with special virulence in two of the smaller but very crowded stages.On the one hand, El Corral, the place where the sheep rested many decades ago and which in previous editions had hosted sessions by Jeff Mills or Sideral.On the other, El Pajar, with its stone walls and hurdle roof where wheat and barley were dried and which dances to the sound of the most select drum'n'bass of the new batch and the old school.© HERALDO DE ARAGON EDITORA, SLU Telephone 976 765 000 / - Pº.Independencia, 29, 50001 Zaragoza - CIF: B99288763 - Registered in the Mercantile Registry of Zaragoza in Volume 3796, Book 0, Folio 177, Section 8, Sheet Z-50564 Any reproduction without written permission from the company is prohibited for the purposes of the article 32.1, second paragraph, of the Intellectual Property Law
