As part of our fifth anniversary and ‘back to school’, we joined our artistic community with LEVI’S® at the UMusic Hotel Madrid to celebrate as we know best.

Hated by many, loved by others. September could be considered one of the most bittersweet months of the year as we say goodbye to summer. But beyond that, we also welcome a new season and what better way to do it than with LEVI’S® at the five-star hotel UMusic Madrid. Good friends, good music, lots of fun and unforgettable views of the capital, this was all we experienced.

Enlivened by the dj set of Foiegrass, the exclusive event started at 21:00h at ‘Nota Alta’, the rooftop that crowns the hotel, with spirits, soft drinks and starters such as gildas, ham and cheese tapas. A cast of guests made up of our trusted creative community began to arrive. Among them, Recycled J, Natalia Lacunza, Pepa Salazar, Judeline, Alba Miró or Lola Rodríguez.

After this first phase set in the Madrid sky, came the main course of the party signed by LEVI’S®: a dinner at the El Albéniz restaurant, located on the first floor of the UMusic hotel. Already charged with energy thanks to the atmosphere created on the rooftop, we enjoyed the creativity of Alejandro Moreno, the executive chef known for making the most iconic recipes of Madrid’s gastronomy and culture.

Served in the restaurant decorated in the purest H. style, the menu was composed of succulent creations such as a squid brioche with kaffir lime emulsion or a beef short rib with Dutch potato. The vegan option featured dishes such as roasted aubergine with tomato concasse and sultanas or chickpea meatballs with vegetable demi-glace. Cheesecake and peach in syrup with macerated strawberries rounded off this gastronomic experience.

Amidst laughter and a lot of fun, we went back up to the hotel terrace for an after party to the rhythm of Merca Bae‘s mesmerising mixes. From dancehall and R&B to more electronic sounds, the producer and DJ par excellence made us dance like never before, bringing the rentrée event to a close with a few glasses of Chivas to toast the fifth anniversary and the powerful heritage of LEVI’S®.
