A Packed August Schedule
August is a particularly exciting month at La Polivalente, with a fully booked schedule of gigs, performances, and activities every dayndays. The variety of events ensures that there is something for everyone, making it a must-visit destination for culture enthusiasts.
A Melodic Atmosphere
One of the most enchanting aspects of La Polivalente is its atmospheric charm. As you stroll down the otherwise quiet street, you might find yourself captivated by the melodies of a saxophone drifting through the air. This unique ambiance adds to the allure of the space, making it a memorable experience for all who visit.
Brazilian Music Sessions
This month, La Polivalente is featuring a special series titled “Ciclo de Música Brasileña.” These sessions will showcase the talents of groovy artists such as Rocio Paz, Tulio Pizool, Pedrinho Oliveira, and others. The Brazilian music sessions promise to bring a lively and rhythmic vibe to the venue.
Art Exhibitions
Art exhibitions are a staple at La Polivalente, promoting the work of artists who live and work in and around Málaga. This Saturday, August 17th, the space will host the inauguration of an exhibition by In Fraganti, adding a visual feast to the cultural offerings of the venue.
La Polivalente is more than just a cultural space; it’s a community where creativity thrives and artists find a welcoming stage to share their passion. The feel of the community is also present in the fact that the bar, due its very intimate interior can only host a circle-type audience, where the only comfy space available is standing around in a circle. Therefore, after the limited sofa sits are occupied by the most punctual attendees of the event, the performers/artists can be enjoyed by using the space next to them and not “under them”, in the usual pedestal, on which conventional stages are built. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, a trip to La Polivalente is sure to leave you inspired and entertained.
