Hacienda Santa Cruz hosts the sculpture by the artist from La Palma del Condado during the XLIII Flamenco Festival El Búcaro, which connects the legacy of Camarón de la Isla with contemporary creation.
The Hacienda Santa Cruz in La Rinconada is currently hosting the sculpture 'Camarón itinerante', created by the artist Martín Lagares, coinciding with the celebration of the XLIII Flamenco Festival El Búcaro. The piece integrates into the atmosphere of the festival and interacts with the audience in a heritage space that hosts one of the most established cultural events in the municipality.
The work offers an approach to the singer Camarón de la Isla through the visual arts, contrasting with the auditory experience typical of the festival. Those who visit the hacienda will be able to pause before the sculpted face and connect with the memory of a key voice in the history of flamenco.
This is not the first time the sculptor has left his mark in La Rinconada. Martín Lagares is the creator of the bust of Almudena Grandes, which is awarded as a trophy in the literary competition dedicated to the writer, a piece that links sculpture and literature and gives a unique identity to the recognition.
Born in La Palma del Condado in 1976, Lagares trained in the workshop of Joaquín Moreno Daza and studied Fine Arts in Sevilla and Cuenca. His career includes portraits, civil and religious sculpture, and commemorative sets for public spaces.
The itinerant nature of the work allows the sculpture to travel and acquire new meanings in each setting. At the Hacienda Santa Cruz, its encounter with El Búcaro makes it a companion to a celebration that keeps the transmission of flamenco alive across generations.
The cultural programming of La Rinconada thus reinforces the dialogue between disciplines: flamenco, visual arts, literature, and heritage share spaces and audiences during the festival.
