Sabina Por Aquí Days and Competition

Description

The “Sabina Por Aquí” Days, organised by the group Peor para el Sol, are held every year in September. These days offer a wide range of cultural activities: music, poetry, various exhibitions, film screenings... with the songwriting competition as the event's centrepiece, drawing a large number of entrants and candidates from across the Spanish-speaking world. The winner is given the opportunity to record a demo at Joaquín Sabina's own studio.

The Days, created in 2014 with the aim of linking Joaquín Sabina to the city of Úbeda, are held in collaboration with the Huerta de San Antonio Foundation, in creating and consolidating a cultural space that, drawing on Joaquín Sabina's work, explores various artistic dimensions beyond music alone. Likewise, through the Singer-Songwriter Competition and the “Acústicos por Aquí” series, new musical talent is encouraged and promoted.

For two weeks, Úbeda becomes a focal point for Sabina's fans, who, alongside an intense cultural programme, also have the chance to enjoy the monumental beauty of a city rich in culture, art, history, landscape and traditions that have withstood the passage of time.
