The Rumba Tour Festival opens this Friday, July 24, at the Port Olímpic in Barcelona, with a program running through Sunday, July 26.

The initiative aims to highlight Catalan rumba as an essential element of popular culture. The project seeks to bring this musical genre to the public through performances in squares, streets, and public spaces across Catalonia.
The festival focuses on the historical roots of this musical style, closely linked to Barcelona neighborhoods such as Gràcia, El Raval, Hostafrancs, and Sants. These areas are considered the cradle of an artistic expression that has evolved into a symbol of the city's identity.
During the three-day event, the Port Olímpic stage will host various musical acts. Confirmed groups include Decantera, Alma de Boquerón, Els Tets, Los Vecinos de Manué, and the band Todos los Gatos son Pardos, which will perform a tribute to Gato Pérez.
