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 R\u00edos, Los Mustang, Los S\u00edrex, Nino Bravo, F\u00f3rmula V, Camilo Sesto, Jeannette, Albert Hammond and Julio Iglesias, among others.<\/p>\n\n

The show features a pop-rock instrumental base combined with violins, violas and cellos from the Juli\u00e0 Carbonell Symphony Orchestra of Lleida. Singers include Paula Costes, Nerea Garc\u00eda, Laura Roure, Anna Simon, X\u00e8nia P\u00e9rez, David Honrrubia, Toni Gilabert, Maria Fern\u00e1ndez, Pol Simon and Nom\u00eds Lenam. The musical director is Josep Mar\u00eda Bossa, pianist, guitarist, composer and producer at Bossa Records. More than thirty professionals will be on stage to offer a unique and original production.<\/p>\n\n

Once again, all proceeds from the concert will go to breast cancer research at IISPV. The event also celebrates the institute\u2019s 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: \u201cIt\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Dr. Elisabet Vilella, deputy director of IISPV, explained: \u201cOur 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\u2019s progress depends on future funding. Right now, we are waiting for a decision on a grant from the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC).\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Noem\u00ed Llaurad\u00f3, president of the Tarragona Provincial Council, highlighted the institution\u2019s commitment \u201cto culture, research and solidarity.\u201d She added: \u201cMamapop is more than a concert\u2014it raises awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The event was presented on Monday at IISPV headquarters. Tarragona\u2019s mayor, Rub\u00e9n Vi\u00f1uales, said: \u201cMamapop 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
