Festival de Música Tradicional de la Alpujarra, Almócita 2010
The Festival de Música Tradicional de la Alpujarra is the most important manifestation of traditional Alpujarran music. This Festival of Traditional Music of the Alpujarra is held every year since 1982, on the second Sunday of August. The locality where it takes place varies each year. This year it is on the 8th of August and it will be hosted by Almócita. About twenty-five groups will participate in this town in de Almería province. According to an article in the Ideal, Celia Garcia-Ruiz won the contest of the design of the poster of the 29th edition of the festival. The first years it was designed by Martín Morales, and over the years it has become a type of collector´s item for some people. On a personal blog of somebody from Cádiar, we can find all the ´carteles del festival´ and a ´historia del festival´.
The twenty-ninth edition of the festival will be dedicated to Alejandro Buendía Muñoz for his research work on the local customs and traditions. The ethnologist Alejandro Buendía Muñoz is the director of the Museo Histórico Etnográfico de Terque and Museo de la Uva del Barco.
The ´orden the actuación´ , the order of performances or program can be found on the blog of Rafael Gan, one of the ´presentadores´. The first group will perform at 10.00 hours.

Hola amigos:
Una entrada en vuestro blog muy acertada como todas, claro! En efecto, el Festival reúne a miles de personas ese día. Mañana es el sorteo de orden de actuaciones del dnigo 8. Por Almócita andaremos nosotros ese fin de semana ya que este año yo participo como uno de los 3 presentadores del certamen. En cuanto a vuestra entrada en efecto Paco Martin Morales (que no Maroles!) ha hecho el cartel hasta hace pocos años. Es dibujante, caricaturista de prensa y vive en Carataunas en una casa color salmón inconfundible cuando se pasa por la carretera camino de Pampaneira.
Bueno, poco más, a ver si nos vemos en alguna de éstas. Saludos: rafagan
