Miguel Poveda opens with a free concert in Malaga the events for the centenary of the Generation of '27

The Provincial Council of Málaga begins the commemorative events for the centenary of the Generation of '27 with the stellar performance by Miguel Poveda, which will take place this Friday, January 23 at the María Victoria Atencia cultural center on Ollerías street starting at 8:00 PM. The free tickets went on sale yesterday at 5 PM and, in just a few minutes, were snapped up and sold out.

Accompanied by guitarist Jesús Guerrero, the repertoire includes some of the most prominent poets of the Generation of '27, such as Manuel Altolaguirre, Emilio Prados, Vicente Aleixandre, Luis Cernuda, Concha Méndez, Dámaso Alonso, Miguel Hernández, and Federico García Lorca, whose verses have been chosen by Poveda for the evening.

Although the centenary is next year, the Generation of '27 Cultural Center, an institution dependent on the Provincial Council of Málaga, has decided to start the centenary programming with this special concert. Indeed, already in 2025, the Center of '27 celebrated with a large exhibition and various parallel activities the centenary of the Sur printing press, and this year 2026 will mark the hundred years of 'Litoral', the magazine driven by the poets from Málaga Emilio Prados and Manuel Altolaguirre, which has been considered the most distinguished of all those linked to the Generation of '27.
