The Andalusian artist, at a peak in her career, has posted the "sold out" sign for her presentations in the capital of Málaga. Gallego expressed her surprise at how quickly tickets sold out, stating that "Málaga never disappoints."
Her show, titled 'La última folclórica' (The Last Folklórica), offers a contemporary reinterpretation of copla, fusing this traditional genre with elements of jazz and electronic music. The singer confesses that the reception from the Andalusian public has been "brutal," generating great anticipation among attendees and within the local cultural scene.
“"We have left behind all the clichés, all the stiffness and seriousness. This proposal is the most updated version of myself."
Gallego's main objective is to bring copla to a wider audience, including new generations. She highlights the growing presence of young people, families, and groups who are rediscovering the genre at her concerts, suggesting that lack of awareness, rather than prejudice, is the main obstacle to its dissemination.
The show also pays tribute to iconic copla figures such as Rocío Jurado, Marifé de Triana, and Concha Piquer, from whom Gallego admires their capacity for innovation. On stage, the artist incorporates traditional elements like the 'bata de cola' (flamenco dress with a train) and the 'peineta' (ornamental comb), but with a modernized aesthetic.
Performing at the Teatro Cervantes holds special significance for Laura Gallego, as it is her first time appearing at this "emblem of the city." Her connection with Málaga extends to collaborations with artists like Diana Navarro and projects linked to Antonio Banderas, in addition to maintaining ties with other names from the Málaga scene.
With a tour scheduled to run until 2027, Gallego is surprised by the magnitude the project has achieved, continuing to evolve with each performance. The show's title, 'La última folclórica', also serves as a call for generational renewal in copla, aiming for the genre's legacy to endure through new voices.
