A football tournament and good cinema: what you can't miss this week

The week ahead, with Jordi Garrigós

Some of the things we hope not to miss in the next seven days

I will play very loud El turismo nos va a salvar, an old song by the Mallorcan group Ánimos Parrec. It's the week to listen to it, as it's a satire on how uncontrolled tourism is destroying the island of Mallorca. An ideal soundtrack a few days after the Spanish police brutally repressed the demonstration against over-tourism in Ciutat.

I will listen to the new album by The Strokes. Because, despite so many ups and downs, they have been one of the great bands of the millennial generation. Reality Awaits is the seventh album from a band that has known how to constantly reinvent itself, often with ideas that, at first glance, seemed like a long shot and ended up working out well for them. This LP continues to take risks because it's from a group that, artistically, has never known how to stand still.

I will enjoy a summer classic, the great Catalan Football Historical Tournament, a summer event organized by FC Martinenc for over 40 years. Throughout the week, some of the great teams of our most popular football will meet at the Municipal del Guinardó, such as Júpiter, Sant Andreu, and CE Europa, which has rebuilt its squad after last season's successful campaign.

The week that ends, with Thaïs Gutiérrez Vinyets

Notes on what we have seen, felt, tasted and, in short, lived in the last seven days

I have bought Beloved by the writer Toni Morrison, which I hope will be one of the best reads this summer. Here, the story places us at the end of the 19th century and introduces us to a woman and her daughters, fugitives from a slave plantation, in a narrative permeated by the horror and violence that all enslaved people suffered, but also by love that at no point falls into sentimentality.

I have seen The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's spectacular proposal about Ulysses' journey that has turned this classic adventure into an overwhelming and exciting audiovisual experience of almost three hours. Despite the film's weak points, Nolan has achieved an extraordinary version that chains spectacular scenes without pause and keeps you glued to your seat. 

I have got tickets to see the exhibition dedicated to Alexander Calder at the Fundació Louis Vuitton in Paris. If you happen to be in the French capital this summer, don't miss this exhibition which, under the name Calder. Rèver en Equilibre, brings together more than 300 works through which the artist's career is reviewed, from his beginnings in the 1920s to the creation of his most famous pieces. 

I haven't been able to stop thinking about the concert programming that has already been presented for La Mercè. For Barcelona's main festival, we will be able to see powerful artists such as Nacho Vegas, Maria Jaume, Maika Makovski, Azucarillo Kings, music schools from the city, and young and lesser-known acts that represent a great opportunity to discover interesting bands.
