AT THE TEATRO REAL, GO FOR THE DELECTABLE MENU OF MUSIC ICONS!
Report by GUIDEPOST
There aren’t many music festivals that could line up icons of the circuit the likes of pop-rock giants Sting, Steven Tyler, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Rufus Wainwright, Pretenders, Tom Jones and the Pet Shop Boys; Spanish and Latin American pop idols like Pablo Alborán, Miguel RĂos, David Bisbal, Niña Pastori, Rosario, Raphael, Manuel Carrasco, Luis Fonsi and JosĂ© Luis Perales; music artists who have given pigeonholing a skip, like Hans Zimmer, Gregory Porter, James Rhodes, Miguel Poveda, Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso.
About the only music festival in Spain able to do it — and has done it on its first four editions — is Universal Music Festival which has made the Teatro Real its home.
UMF, as has become its tradition, has once again gathered the greats for its fifth (2019) edition: legendary figures of North American pop music Paul Anka and Joan Baez, as well as the classic of Spanish pop Los Secretos; JosĂ© MercĂ© & Tomatito who adds Flamenco flavor into the fabulous mix; not to mention Toquinho & SĂlvia PĂ©rez Cruz.
Throw jazz-pop singers Jamie Cullum and pop-Latin idol Antonio Orozco into the mix, top it with Spanish soprano Aitana, and you’ve got a delectable music menu! Go for it!
