Kiki Morente and Lagartija Nick Honor Lorca at Generalife Concert

In Granada, a concert at the Generalife palace gardens paid tribute to Federico García Lorca and Enrique Morente, featuring Kiki Morente and the band Lagartija Nick. The event, described as a ceremony rather than a typical concert, invoked the spirits of Leonard Cohen, Jesús Arias, and Enrique Morente. The performance was part of a series of events in Granada that have been marked by themes of death and remembrance. The city has been shaken by recent deaths, and the concert served as a cathartic moment. The article also mentions a drawing on a wall reading 'Vive Morente' and a tourist carrying a bag with Lorca's face, symbolizing the enduring presence of these cultural figures. The concert took place at the Generalife, with the Alhambra visible in the background, under a sun that was expected to burst like a supernova. The event highlighted the fusion of flamenco and rock, as Lagartija Nick and Kiki Morente performed 'Omega', a work originally created by Enrique Morente and Lagartija Nick, blending Lorca's poetry with modern music. The concert was a significant cultural moment, connecting past and present, and honoring the legacy of Lorca and Morente.
