Madrid
Clamores is a one-time classic jazz cafe that has morphed into one of the most diverse live-music stages in Madrid. Jazz is still a staple, but flamenco, blues, world music, singer-songwriters, pop and rock all make regular appearances. Live shows can begin as early as 7pm on weekends but sometimes really only get going after 1am.
After the show on Friday and Saturday nights (or earlier if there's no live act), a DJ takes over, spinning pop, indie and funk.
