Angel de Sousa Rollerblades 100km for Bridges For Music: Kicking Off Ibiza’s 2025 Season with Purpose
On the 23rd of April, 2025, the vibrant island of Ibiza witnessed an extraordinary event that combined fitness, philanthropy, and community spirit. Angel de Sousa, the founder of 19/29 Agency, joined forces with the International Music Summit (IMS) to take on a 100km rollerblading challenge in support of Bridges For Music, a charity that empowers communities through education and music.
This incredible initiative marked the official start of Ibiza’s 2025 season, setting the tone for a summer filled with creativity, connection, and giving back.
Rolling for a Cause: Bridges For Music
Bridges For Music has long been a beacon of hope for underprivileged communities, using the universal power of music to inspire change. The charity focuses on building music schools, providing educational programs, and creating opportunities for aspiring artists from underserved backgrounds.
For Angel de Sousa, a passionate advocate for community and creativity in hospitality, this cause hit close to home. By rollerblading 100km across Ibiza’s stunning landscapes, Angel aimed to raise awareness and funds for this life-changing organization, showcasing the island's spirit of generosity and unity.

Starting from the iconic coastline and weaving through the island’s picturesque towns, Angel’s route captured the essence of Ibiza while rallying support for Bridges For Music.
Angel’s participation also symbolized the island’s growing focus on wellness and active living, proving that Ibiza is more than just a party destination, it’s a hub for holistic experiences and meaningful connections.
