Welcome to your weekly dose of entertainment news! From music to history, and everything in between, let's dive into the latest headlines.
Sexism in Spanish Music
A recent study from Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) reveals a concerning trend: sexism is intensifying in some of Spain's most popular songs. Researchers attribute this to the rise of streaming platforms, which often lack editorial oversight. Algorithms prioritize audience engagement, sometimes at the expense of lyrical content, potentially amplifying inequalities. This is definitely something to consider as we enjoy our favorite tunes.
Saving a Romanesque Treasure
Imagine a 1000-year-old monastery slowly crumbling away. That's the reality for the Convent of San Salvador in Palencia, Spain. Fortunately, an association for the defense of historical heritage, along with the 40 residents of Nogal de las Huertas, are fighting to keep the ruins standing and to rebuild its history. This is a testament to the power of community and the importance of preserving our past. "We must do everything we can to save this treasure," says a local resident.
The dedicated group is working tirelessly to ensure that this important piece of history isn't lost forever. They are seeking funding and support to help reconstruct and preserve the ancient monastery.
