Aspe's Ráfagas Exhibition: A Nostalgic Look into the 'La Movida' Era of Spanish Music

The vibrant history of Spain's dynamic music scene during the '80s and '90s is currently on display at the 'Ráfagas' exhibition, which is being held in the Miguel Calatayud Exhibition Hall in Aspe. Attendees have a unique chance to immerse themselves in the era up until January 5, with organized guided tours that offer a deep dive into the culture-shaping sounds of these transformative decades.

Exploring the Era of 'La Movida'

Ráfagas, meaning 'gusts' or 'bursts,' highlights the Spanish movement known as La Movida. This cultural revolution swept through Spain following the end of Francisco Franco's dictatorship, bringing forth a wave of artistic liberation and the emergence of various music styles that have come to define the vibrant Spanish music scene from that period.

Curated Music Experience

The guided tours of the 'Ráfagas' exhibition are personally conducted by the curator, Blanca Asensi Pérez, who provides insightful narratives about the music, politics, and social events of the time. Each tour is a 30-minute encounter with history, limited to small groups to maintain an intimate atmosphere as visitors explore a mix of song snippets, video clips, and artist interviews accounting for a remarkable musical journey.

Schedule and Booking Details

The exclusive guided tours are scheduled on December 28, and 29, as well as January 3, 4, and 5, running twice daily from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Participation is capped at groups of 10 to 12 people to ensure a personalized experience.
