A journey through copla with Juan Valderrama
On 24 October 2026, Teatre El Musical (TEM) will host Historias de la copla, a show in which Juan Valderrama pays tribute to copla, a genre that has survived trends and decades. With a repertoire that includes everything from the first known copla—performed by Estrellita Castro—to versions of Lola Flores, Manolo Escobar, and Rocío Jurado, Valderrama doesn’t just sing: he shares stories and anecdotes he has lived or inherited from those who shaped this musical style.
The show, which starts at 8:00 PM, lasts approximately 100 minutes and combines live music with stories that connect the audience to the essence of the genre. Tickets, available from €12, can be purchased on platforms like Notikumi.
What does the show include?
Valderrama will be accompanied by a live band, adding authenticity to versions of classics like Ojos verdes, María de la O, and La Zarzamora. The format isn’t a typical concert: it’s a dialogue between music and memory, where the artist blends his voice with reflections on the evolution of copla and its cultural resilience.
If you’re interested in the history of Spanish music or simply enjoy live performances, this is an opportunity to rediscover a genre with deep roots. [Check the TEM’s profile for more details].
