On March 14th, starting at eight in the evening, thirteen artists will come together to pay tribute to Lola Flores at the Villamarta Theatre from Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz). And all the proceeds will go to the association AMAMA Seville, sensitive to this scourge that plagues the lives of many women. Maria Terremoto, Argentina, Laura Gallego, Lucía Fernanda, the crumbs, Lorena Gomez, Mara Rey, Mary Toledo, Maria Carmona y Pastora Galvan They will lend their talent to this charitable cause in a show organized by Green Cow Music.
The gala presentation took place on the morning of Thursday, February 19th at the Hotel Hesperia Seville with the participation of some of the artists featured on the program. The event is a unique occasion where the cast celebrates the legacy of one of the most universal and charismatic figures in Spanish culture through her iconic and well-known repertoire. Angela ClaverolThe president of the association highlighted the social and human dimension of this musical "in which women sing for women." She spoke emotionally, noting that "at AMAMA, we dedicate ourselves wholeheartedly to research because we want to die of old age, not cancer. I want to enjoy life because you don't know how wonderful it is when you think you're going to lose it. Your priorities start to fade, and your sole focus becomes love. And what you are doing is an act of love for all women with this disease. You make them happy and help them through the process. These gestures must be valued." Adela AlgarínAs deputy director of Green Cow Music, she led the event, which included speeches by Mara Rey, María Terremoto, and Laura Gallego. Paula Ramirez –a member of Las Migas– and the Director of Culture of the Jerez City Council Abraham Hernandez.
“Singing to Lola and sharing her songs with the world is an honor. I was lucky enough to know her and experience her life from a young age, and to be friends with her family. We have immense respect for her, and I think it comes across beautifully because we sing her songs with our souls and hearts. I have to confess that the moment I learned about this great tribute and the cause it was for, I dared to call and wanted to be there and sing, because it's a subject that's very close to my heart,” Mara Rey declared during the event. “I don't think there's a single woman who doesn't admire Lola, first as an artist, then for her courage, for being a free spirit. She's a great role model for us because she taught us that freedom and has become an icon of our country,” María Terremoto emphasized, highlighting her enthusiasm for contributing her “grain of sand” to this cause. A beautiful cause that Laura Gallego also championed, and she will bring the more “folkloric” aspect to the tribute. In this regard, she encouraged and expressed her hope that "all tickets for March 14th will sell out." A date that makes Paula Ramírez very happy, as she confessed during the presentation, because she's sharing the stage with artists who are role models for her, like Lola: "You couldn't have chosen a better icon, because what she represents as a brave and strong woman is ideal."
"All proceeds will go to the AMAMA Sevilla association, which is aware of this scourge that plagues the lives of so many women. María Terremoto, Argentina, Laura Gallego, Lucía Fernanda, Las Migas, Lorena Gómez, Mara Rey, María Toledo, María Carmona and Pastora Galván will lend their talent to this charitable cause.
With musical direction by Jose Antonio Marquez and the artistic direction of Pedro CentenoThey will also emphasize Lola Flores's close relationship with poetry and language. In this sense, the figures of Federico Garcia Lorca y Rafael de Leon They will be very present, evoking that Lola who recited with passion and conceived of art as a total expression of the soul.
Whirlwind of Colors, Shame, shame, shame, The blackberry, at your side, alms of love, the lerele, And if he knows, so what?, I'll give it to you, Let the tiger eat me., Sevillanas by Carlos Saura y Don't throw me indiré They will form part of the repertoire of an evening that will culminate with a very special choral piece: Bread and chocolate, a piece that represents the entire Flores family and symbolizes the artistic heritage, the union and the transmission of a way of understanding art deeply rooted in Spanish popular culture.
In the words of Adela Algarín, "this tribute does not seek to imitate, but celebrate"To revisit songs and words from a contemporary perspective. Lola Flores has meant much more to Spanish culture than being an artist. Lola is a symbol of identity, passion, and popular character. She achieved something truly great: that art became a direct expression of emotion. This made her an icon, a symbol of national identity because of her passion, strength, and authenticity, with which we all identify."
