The town hall of Estepona (Malaga) has indicated that the programming of the “Cultural Summer 2020” will include more than 60 cultural and leisure activities for all audiences. The deputy mayor of the socio-cultural area, Begoña Ortíz, highlighted the variety of concerts and shows, most of which will take place in different outdoor locations and will have limited capacity, in accordance with the regulations and recommendations of the health authorities. .
As a novelty, the city councilor attached to the area of culture, Macarena Diánez, explained that this year the series of free concerts “100% Estepona” will be launched to support artists and production companies in the municipality.
In this circuit of performances will participate singers like Gemma Murgado, the musical group Lazaga Flameco, The Habituales Rock Band, Patrick Jackson, Famel Fernandez, Sammy James, Mario DJ or Milky Bread Music Band. The mayor said that these concerts, which will take place in different areas of the city, will give us “a good idea of the artists of different musical styles that are being created in Estepona”.
On the other hand, the town hall has programmed concerts by two of Estepona’s most internationally known artists: guitarist Daniel Casares and flamenco singer Rocío Bazán. Thus, Daniel Casares will present his latest album “Guitarrísimo” on July 30, at 10 p.m., in the Carmen Thyssen gardens of the Orquidario botanical park.
The artist will once again demonstrate his virtuosity by performing songs such as “Suspiro al Cielo”, with which he wanted to pay tribute to the victims of COVID-19.
On September 5, at 10 p.m. in Plaza Diario ABC, it will be the turn of the cantaora Rocío Bazán to present her latest show “Intrépida”, a tribute to the maritime origins of her family and to the most historic flamenco songs.
In order to continue supporting the new musical talents of the city, the Municipality of Estepona will launch a call for a new edition of “Estepona Crea” in August, which will be aimed at young people who create pieces that can be performed by the Banda Municipal of Estepona, which celebrates its 80th anniversary this year.
The winner will receive a prize of 10,000 euros. With this competition, the town hall undertakes to continue disseminating the work carried out by the Banda Municipal de Música de Estepona.
On the other hand, the bullring of Estepona will host during this summer several musical, comic and children’s events. Among the shows scheduled, the singer Pasión Vega, one of the most privileged voices in our country, the mythical group Hombres G, the composer “El Kanka”, the musicals “El Rey León”, “Frozen” or “Mil Campanas”, dedicated to the “Movida” of Madrid, and the last comedy show of the “Comandante Lara”, explained by the city council in a statement.
Likewise, the Felipe VI Auditorium will keep its “Summer Cinema” outside the hall until September 13. Those interested in checking out the latest film previews that will be screened can do so on the web.
