The concert by El Consorcio took place last night at the José Ramírez Cerdá Park, part of the San Ginés Festivities, organised by Arrecife’s Council for Seniors. The event, led by councillor Rosmen Quevedo, turned the park into a nostalgic venue, bringing together music lovers of all ages.
Performers Estíbaliz Uranga, Iñaki Uranga, Carlos Zubiaga, and Allende Blanco Uranga, who is Sergio and Estíbaliz’s daughter, revisited many classic songs that have shaped the lives of countless listeners over the decades. Hits like “Tómame o déjame,” “Amor de hombre,” and “El chacachá del tren” resonated with the audience, connecting generations through timeless melodies.
El Consorcio is notable for continuing the legacy of the vocal music group Mocedades, pivotal in popular Spanish music history. The current lineup features three former members of Mocedades, along with Allende Blanco Uranga, representing a new generation. Mocedades made history by being the only Spanish group to sell over a million copies of a single performed entirely in Spanish.
Last night’s performance in Arrecife revived this history not merely as a nostalgic throwback, but as evidence that great songs endure, passed down from parents to children, and still resonate with both long-time listeners and new fans. The concert, introduced by Francisco José Navarro, was part of the 2026 San Ginés festivities, curated by deputy mayor Echedey Eugenio’s events team. It highlighted the joy of celebrating through music that serves as a shared soundtrack for many generations.
It was a night for singing and reminiscing, showcasing how certain songs remain relevant because they continue to narrate our stories, even years later.
