The finality of this festival is to offer a program tailored to the people of Begur and its visitors, with the will to contribute a positive value to the cultural offering of the summer and also be an element of promotion of the municipality through music.
A musical proposal open to everyone. All concerts are free.

Havanera concerts

The Havanera is a musical genre that has been on a "return journey", having originated in the 19th century in Cuba out of the contra-dance folk style. The rhythm was modified through the ancestral input of African music performed by Cuban musicians, giving rise to what became known as the Havanera.
In Catalonia there has always been a tradition of local groups singing Havanera music in bars along the coast.
Begur is the venue for a two particularly famous Havanera concerts. One is staged in the centre of the village (Plaça Lluis Esteve i Cruañas), and the other one is staged in Sa Riera beach. The typical flamed rum is available for everyone at both concerts!!!!
