Here you have some of the events that are taking place this week in Sevilla:
– Pitingo in concert, Feb 11th (Friday).- Pitingo is a singer born in Huelva that has a particular fusion style between Soul and Flamenco (it is what he names “soulería”, with reference to “soul”+”bulería”). He mostly makes very personal versions of classical soul songs. In this concert, he will present his new job, the album “Olé y Amén”. The concert starts at 21:00, at the Diputación de Sevilla (Avda. Menéndez Pelayo, 32). Tickets from 27 €.
– Spanish Cinema: “También la lluvia”.- One of the most important Spanish films shot during the last year, this film is directed by Icíar Bollaín and starring Luis Tosar, Gael García Bernal and Karra Elejalde. This film is about the shooting of a controversial film based on the arrival of Christopher Columbus to America. While the film is been shot in Bolivia, local people rise up against plans to privatize the water supply. The rebellion will have a deep influence on the team that is working on the film.
– Exhibition: “Plegarias atendidas. Colección de ex-votos mexicanos”.- Up to February the 27th you can visit this exhibition of mexican votive offerings at the Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares, located at the Pabellón Mudéjar of the Maria Luisa Park.
