Mamapop Solidario celebrates its tenth anniversary with the premiere of a 9th edition focused on the greatest hits of pop-rock music from the eighties and nineties at the Palau Firal y de Congresos in Tarragona. All the profits from the concert dedicated to the ‘Generación Movida’ will go to breast cancer research at the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute, which this year will launch a pre-doctoral grant thanks to the support obtained through Mamapop. Tickets are already on sale on the website www.mamapop.cat and this year there will also be assisted ticket sales at the FarmaTarraco Pharmacy.
Tarragona, September 25, 2024. Mamapop celebrates this 2024, ten years since its foundation and after eight editions in Lleida, one in Tarragona and three in Andorra, it returns to the capital of Tarragona to premiere this year’s show dedicated to the music of the Generación Movida. The show will take a tour of great pop-rock songs from the eighties and nineties with versions of Alaska y Dinarama, Loquillo y Trogloditas, Hombres G, La Guardia, Duncan Dhu, Los Secretos, Mecano, Tino Casal, Sau, Sopa de Cabra or Els Pets. Mamapop ‘Generación Movida’ will feature a dozen solo singers and will put on stage forty musicians fusing the pop-rock base of MamaBanda with the strings (violins and cellos) of the Ponent Youth Orchestra. Paula Costas, Nerea García, Laura Roure, Anna Simon, Xenia Pérez, David Honrrubia, Toni Gilabert, Pol Simon and Nomís Lenam and the young Balaguer promise Maria Fernández will lend voice to the repertoire. All under the musical direction of Josep María Bossa, pianist, guitarist, composer and producer of the Bossa Records label.
Mamapop maintains its collaboration link with the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute (IISPV) and the profits derived from the concert will be entirely destined to this entity for breast cancer research. In fact, this 2024 the IISPV will launch a predoctoral scholarship thanks to the support obtained through the Mamapop held in Tarragona. In its first edition in Tarragona, nearly 1,100 people were gathered, practically 100% of the occupancy of the Palau Firal and Congress of Tarragona, and profits of €23,699 were achieved.
The director of the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute, Dr. Joan Vendrell, appeared today at the press conference to present the concert (in the Tarragona City Hall): “The participation of society is key to continue advancing in the fight against breast cancer. Initiatives such as Mamapop, with the support of the IISPV, are very important to have more resources to continue researching and alleviate the suffering of women and the family environment. With this new concert in Tarragona, everyone is invited to join the cause and contribute to research that can save lives.”
The promoter and artistic director of Mamapop, Manel Simon, has highlighted that “we are returning to Tarragona with more desire than ever to contribute to the financing of breast cancer research and we are grateful for the support of the public, entities and companies with the good news of the creation of a grant that transforms this support into research.” “With ‘Mamapop – Generación Movida’ we want to repeat the success of the first edition in Tarragona, which welcomed us in an unbeatable way,” he added.
Tarragona City Council once again offers its support to the initiative and the mayor of Tarragona, Rubén Viñuales, has encouraged all citizens to “enjoy this great show and join the fight against breast cancer.” Viñuales has thanked Mamapop and the IISPV “for their tireless work to raise awareness and mobilize citizens against breast cancer.” “Your fight is the fight of all of us, it is essential to continue researching and investing to improve the quality of life of people who suffer from this tough disease.”
Mamapop Tarragona will once again have the support of companies and entities such as Fundación Repsol, Factor Energia or Port de Tarragona this year. Others such as Club Bàsquet Tarragona are also joining them.
The Mamapop charity show will premiere at the Palau Firal i de Congresos in Tarragona on November 16, 2024 at 9 p.m. More than a thousand tickets are on sale, which can now be purchased at www.mamapop.cat
As a novelty, this year a physical ticket sales point has also been set up at FarmaTarraco (C/ de Pere Martell, 5).
