series, entitled ‘Sólo apto para menores’
(‘For Minors Only’), will make room for the

Caracolas’ is the opening show in Vélez-Málaga
on August 25th, with Enrique
Morente paying tribute to Juan Breva and Picasso,
besides the premiere of ‘Zambra 5.1’ by Arcángel
and the revival of ‘Las calles de Cádiz’
by La Argentinita, among other shows. The fourth series
is the result of the projects contest ‘Siete Producciones
Nuevas’, with El Pele, Antonio el Pipa and Israel
Galván as some of the stars. The new albums will
