For the third time, the Congress and Exhibition Palace of Tarragona will host Mamapop, a charity show that donates all its profits to breast cancer research at the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute (IISPV)
Mamapop will return to Tarragona for the third year in a row, with a new show on Saturday, November 1st. In 2025, Mamapop will take the audience on a musical journey through the 1960s and 1970s, performing famous songs from artists like Los Brincos, Los Bravos, Marisol, Miguel Ríos, Los Mustang, Los Sírex, Nino Bravo, Fórmula V, Camilo Sesto, Jeannette, Albert Hammond and Julio Iglesias, among others.
The show features a pop-rock instrumental base combined with violins, violas and cellos from the Julià Carbonell Symphony Orchestra of Lleida. Singers include Paula Costes, Nerea García, Laura Roure, Anna Simon, Xènia Pérez, David Honrrubia, Toni Gilabert, Maria Fernández, Pol Simon and Nomís Lenam. The musical director is Josep María Bossa, pianist, guitarist, composer and producer at Bossa Records. More than thirty professionals will be on stage to offer a unique and original production.
Once again, all proceeds from the concert will go to breast cancer research at IISPV. The event also celebrates the institute’s 20th anniversary and supports an ongoing study about the link between obesity and breast cancer, funded by previous Mamapop concerts. Manel Simon, promoter and artistic director of Mamapop, said: “It’s an honour to premiere the new show in Tarragona, knowing that a researcher can work on breast cancer thanks to the support of the local community.”
Dr. Elisabet Vilella, deputy director of IISPV, explained: “Our research is already showing results, which have been presented at several conferences. Early findings confirm the hypothesis that there is a connection between obesity and breast cancer. The project’s progress depends on future funding. Right now, we are waiting for a decision on a grant from the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC).”
Noemí Llauradó, president of the Tarragona Provincial Council, highlighted the institution’s commitment “to culture, research and solidarity.” She added: “Mamapop is more than a concert—it raises awareness.”
The event was presented on Monday at IISPV headquarters. Tarragona’s mayor, Rubén Viñuales, said: “Mamapop was created to raise awareness and mobilise people against breast cancer, using the universal language of music. The energy and enthusiasm it creates is transformed by IISPV into cutting-edge scientific research that improves the lives of those affected.”
Mamapop Tarragona is supported by Fundación Repsol, Factor Energia, the Port of Tarragona, the City Council, the Congress Palace, Rotary Club Tarragona, Tarragona Basketball Club, Nàstic de Tarragona, and the Provincial Council. The concert will take place on Saturday, November 1st, 2025 at 8pm. Over a thousand tickets are now on sale at www.mamapop.cat and in person at FarmaTarraco (C/ de Pere Martell, 5).
