Martirio performs this Thursday in Rota as part of the Caleidoscópicas festival

The Caleidoscópicas Festival 2026 kicked off this Thursday, November 12, in Rota with the performance of 'Memorias de Trapo', a dance-theatre piece by the company LaMona Danz that took place at the 'Alcalde Felipe Benítez' municipal auditorium. Students from the Calasanz, Azorín, Alarcón and Luis Ponce de León schools attended the event, as part of the Municipal Educational Offer coordinated by the Department of Education. The programme continues this same afternoon with 'Mosaico', the show starring Martirio alongside pianist Jesús Lavilla. It will start at 20:30 at the same municipal auditorium. Admission is free with an invitation, so members of the public interested in attending must obtain one to be able to access the performance. Martirio's career includes collaborations with artists such as Chavela Vargas, Chano Domínguez, Kiko Veneno, Omara Portuondo, Compay Segundo, Lila Downs and Miguel Poveda. Her work has been recognised with the Premio Nacional de las Músicas Actuales in 2016, the Medalla de Oro al Mérito en las Bellas Artes in 2019 and the Medalla de Andalucía in 2004, as well as a Grammy nomination for 'Mucho corazón'. This edition of the festival is held under the slogan 'Tramando juntas' and Rota shares it with Bornos. According to the provincial deputy for Culture, Vanesa Beltrán, the programme seeks to combat the inequalities that persist in the cultural sphere, promote culture from a feminist perspective and connect young people and veterans through art. Beltrán encouraged students and citizens to enjoy the scheduled activities. The municipal delegate for Culture, Pablo Gómez, thanked the Diputación Provincial de Cádiz for Rota being part of this initiative and valued the involvement of the four participating schools.
