Today\u00b4s Sidetracks And Detours post was to have been a review of the latest classical festival offering from the Paris Symphony Orchestra but that has had to be pushed back a day to include this newer information.

In this way, we stumble upon readings that dialogue about the lack of voice of women in football (Carmela Garc\u00eda), hatred and violence towards women athletes in social networks (Acaymo S. Cuesta), the relationships between women, sport and motherhood (Noelia Villena), the links between women and football (Sara GDM) or the prevailing dominance of men in sport (Manuel Antonio Dom\u00ednguez).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special guided tour will be led by the enthusiastic expert, Estefania Comejo &nbsp;on Saturday 5<sup>th<\/sup> February at mid-day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also see a video-installation at the gorgeous and atmospheric Cic El Almacen in Arrecife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ALBY \u00c1LAMO is running until 16th march and is a Project \u00a0of \u00a0&#8220;Unpublished materials&#8221; by the visual artist Alby Alamo (Las Palmas, 1977) is a video installation that, following the line of research around the idea of the current performance society, proposes a unique approach to issues such as sustainability, tourism and landscape taking as a transversal axis the spatial work of C\u00e9sar Manrique in Lanzarote,\u00a0 to which is added the conditioning of having been a work carried out in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and under the mediation of the image and zero tourism. This work has the musical and sound collaboration of the artist Resonance (Javier P\u00e9rez Rodr\u00edguez) and will be accompanied by the photobook &#8220;Materials, recification of Arrecife and centrifuged&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other arts exhibitions include Acaymo\u00b4s.

Cuesta, curated by Dennys Ramos, has articulated a plastic and visual story from which to reflect and denounce, through a series of pieces and installations,&nbsp; on three fundamental issues linked to the territory and post-truth on the island, that is, on the aesthetic impact of tourism corruption on the landscape of that island, as well as on the influence exerted by political-business control over the media to legitimize the &#8220;laundering&#8221; or manipulation of public opinion; and, as a backdrop, the validity of the legacy of C\u00e9sar Manrique&#8217;s environmentalist thought on the island<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the dates of guided visits by Estefania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be a round-table with Irma Ferrer and Noem\u00ed Tejera, moderated by Sa\u00fal Garc\u00eda Crespo, on Friday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m., in the Cinema Room of the CIC El Almac\u00e9n.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Presentation of the exhibition catalogue is on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, at 7:30 p.m. Cinema Room of the CIC El Almac\u00e9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MOVIMIENTO Y DIRECCI\u00d3N DE FUGA.

This is how we see it in the new forms of mobility on the territory that were generated from the gold rush in the United States through the audiovisual piece by Manuel Diego S\u00e1nchez, the productive models based on the wild extractions on the territory that is reflected in the work of Liliana Zapata, in the traces and violent interactions between the body and the territory of the visual piece of Racso Zehcnas or in the modifications of the natural environments after the nineteenth-century scientific expeditions carried out in Africa, America or Asia in the work of Gabriela Bettini .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out dates and times of Estefania\u00b4s guided visits offering a history of the art and also look out for opportunities to meet the artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special event on Saturday 19<sup>th<\/sup> February is <strong>DI\u00c1BOLO CLASIC METAL featuring<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>Los Hermanos Infoncundibles at Teatro V\u00edctor Fern\u00e1ndez Gopar \u201cEl Salinero\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blurb tells us that \u00b4The concert is about to begin.

For more than fifty years, it has made known to the world musical wonders abandoned in the darkness of indifference and oblivion. Dedicated to the investigation of these ancient musics, he reads and interprets them with his viola de gamba, or as a director. Among other formations, he is co-founder of the orchestral group Le Concert des Nations (1989), with whom he will appear at the 38th Festival to perform &#8216;7 last words of Christ on the Cross&#8217;, by J. Haydn. A work commissioned by a Cadiz brotherhood of the eighteenth century to the Austrian composer. Savall recovered this work in its orchestral version and in the last decade proposed a staging with narratives that include texts by Jos\u00e9 Saramago, who in 2022 marks 100 years of his birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is more music on the following evening &nbsp;of 11<sup>th<\/sup> February at the Cine Bunuel at Cic El Almacen in Arrecife. Jorge da Rocha presents his third album &#8220;BLAU &#8211; Being Lost As Usual&#8221;: a unique proposal within the current panorama of modern music that surprises with its originality and sensitivity. An encounter between electronics and acoustics that transports us through different soundscapes and brings us closer to indie music, pop and song format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having performed in Europe, Asia and South America with her two previous albums, Da Rocha now explores all her multi-instrumental versatility and creates suggestive atmospheres that can be both delicate and heartbreaking. &#8220;BLAU&#8221; is an album full of details, with guitars and other instruments that he mixes with string arrangements, acoustic drums reinforced by electronic elements and the double bass played in an innovative way that defines his own style. The whole set takes us on a journey of musical, emotional discovery and reflection on the current world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That promises to be a busy weekend for music lovers, because on Saturday 12<sup>th<\/sup> &nbsp;February There is more music from Olga Cerpa &amp; Mestisay at the El Salinero theatre in Arrecife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Palosanto&#8221; is a record project and a show that have as a concept the dialogue between the guitar and the human voice, and that was born when Olga Cerpa and Mestisay invited seventeen prestigious guitarists of different nationalities to record with them songs by authors from different geographies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Palosanto&#8221;, a term that refers to a tree and a wood highly appreciated by guitar builders, is an organic show, full of nuances, in which the voice of Olga Cerpa and the guitars of Manuel Gonz\u00e1lez, Hirahi Afonso and Pancho Delgado, generate an enveloping and captivating acoustic environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LAJALADA appears at CIC El Almac\u00e9n on Saturday 5<sup>th<\/sup> March. <\/strong>The singer and composer Bel\u00e9n A.

His music is nourished by his strong link with the guitar, which he has been exploring since he was 15 years old. The interest in many proposals of the so-called commercial music, as well as in many other projects of a more alternative nature, leads to the torrent of influences that can be seen in the compositions of the Cadiz. The singer-songwriter is considered one of the most interesting Spanish female proposals and with more projection in recent years<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carmen began her musical career by uploading videos to the YouTube platform where, little by little, she was consolidating a large audience base that today follows in her footsteps wherever she goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>February promises literary workshops and creative writing events too.

What if humans lived, every day, with the memory of the memento mori of a primitive insect? Perhaps our life, also ephemeral, could be presented as an atavistic and sublime dance.
