Music mission
ALHAURIN EL GRANDE is about to rock for a good cause! The Un Sí Por La Vida Unidos Contra el Cáncer charity is organising the first ever Alhaurín PopRock Fest, a music festival that aims to raise funds to help cancer patients and their families.
All are invited to dance to the beat and show their support for the charity at the oneday festival, set to take place on Saturday, May 13 at the CEIP Emilia Olivares school. The festival boasts a starstudded lineup including Alejados, Velacruz, Leeloo Music, Malavé, Dj Yu, and Dj Manolo Jiménez.
Tickets for the event cost just €5 at the Un Sí Por La Vida headquarters located on Calle Esperanza, 3. Each ticket includes a complimentary drink for guests.
Announcing the event, Francisco Torres, the president of the association, explained, “This festival is another example of our commitment to fighting cancer and supporting patients and their families. We want to fill Alhaurín el Grande with music while contributing to such an important cause.”
Companies including the local council, Radio Televisión Alhaurín El Grande, Tocata Radio FM, Cervezas Cruzcampo, and Barberos Nómadas will also show their support.
This year’s lineup is exceptional and includes Moisés P Sánchez, one of the most brilliant and influential pianists on the jazz scene today.
Also taking to the stage will be Maureen Choi, a American virtuoso violinist who has given her own unique twist on her playing of the instrument, as well as Lucía & Horacio Fumero. Lucía won the national Jazz Spain Prize 2022, while Horacio is a talented double bassist.
The lineup is completed by Miryam Latrece, who will enchant the audience with her intimate performances of traditional and folk music with her elegant voice.
