The tenth anniversary of the Espacio Fundación Unicaja has brought together several prominent artists and cultural experiences, making it one of the most anticipated events of early March 2025. From February 27 to March 5, the venue located on Avenida de la Libertad, alongside the Jardines presidente Adolfo Suárez, hosts immersive experiences, virtual reality exhibits, sports activities, and environmental workshops.
The festivities kicked off with various engaging programs, leading to highlights such as the talk by renowned singer-songwriter Zahara on March 4 at 19:00. She shared anecdotes and insights from her successful career alongside host Luis Alegre. Zahara, originally from Úbeda, has been instrumental to the Spanish music scene, releasing over ten albums including her latest work, Lento ternura, characterized by her musical experimentation. Her discography showcases her evolution as both an artist and influencer.
"El Espacio Fundación Unicaja alberga experiencias inmersivas, realidad virtual, actividades deportivas y talleres medioambientales," noted the Fundación Unicaja, highlighting their commitment to both culture and community engagement during the anniversary celebration.
On the closing day of the event, March 5, young authors María Sánchez and Jorge Villalobos are set to discuss the current state of literature in Andalucía, providing insights through their creative journeys. Sánchez, who is not only a writer but also works as a field veterinarian, will reflect on her experiences contributing to literature, culture, and rural issues. Villalobos will join her, known for his poetry and recent accolades like the Premio Fundación Unicaja de Poesía.
Amidst these literary discussions, the athletic aspect of the event remains vibrant. On March 4 at 17:00, the Academia Voleibol Córdoba CD will conduct a volleyball workshop, alongside additional guided sports activities and workshops focused on urban gardening and seed bombs, also scheduled for both the 4th and 5th at 17:00.
"Esta jornada de clausura contará con la intervención de María Sánchez y Jorge Villalobos," as stated by Fundación Unicaja, emphasizing the significance of addressing the literary narrative from the Andalusian perspective.
Shifting gears to another major performance, Zahara recently made headlines on March 3, 2025, during her appearance on La Revuelta. She dazzled audiences with her heartfelt rendition of "Soy de un pueblo pequeño" from her new album, Lento ternura. Her performance not only highlighted her musical talents but also reinforced her status as one of Spain's beloved artists.
"La artista jienense Zahara ha cerrado el programa cantando en directo 'Soy de un pueblo pequeño'", reported RTVE, encapsulating the emotional closure she provided to fans and viewers alike.
Zahara, born María Zahara Gordillo Campos, began composing music at an early age, and her career has spanned over two decades. Notably, her artistic endeavors have transformed significantly throughout her career. After releasing her debut professional album La fabulosa historia de in 2009, Zahara took bold steps to redefine her artistry with personal projects like La pareja tóxica and collaborations with other musicians.
Following her 2021 album Puta, which laid bare her past struggles and experiences, Zahara's work took another turn to embrace positivity and tenderness with Lento ternura. This latest album aims to shift focus from her previous themes of rage and trauma to love and beauty.
These events at the Espacio Fundación Unicaja and La Revuelta not only celebrate Zahara's musical legacy but also highlight the importance of cultural dialogues within the community. "María Zahara Gordillo Campos nació en Úbeda, Jaén, en 1983", noted RTVE, marking her roots and deep connection to her cultural heritage which she frequently expresses through her music.
Open to the public with free admission, the Espacio Fundación Unicaja invites visitors from 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 20:00 until March 5, providing insights and experiences celebrating community, culture, and creativity.
