“Romancero: Estampas de una belleza heredada” - A Celebration of Folklore, Heritage, and Art at Club Atlético Lxs Amores
On the night of November 19, the Club Atlético Lxs Amores in Madrid was transformed into a vibrant cultural stage where folklore, heritage, and contemporary art came together. The occasion marked the presentation of Romancero: Estampas de una belleza heredada (Romancero: Images of Inherited Beauty), our first book, which celebrates Andalusian roots, visual storytelling, and collective memory.
The event gathered an audience of artists, photographers, journalists, and art lovers, as An Wei, Lauraa Desirée Weissmahr, Ángeles Toledano, Jaime Sobrino, Gemma Galán and Carlos Burgo, all united by the excitement of discovering a work that bridges tradition and modern expression.
Under warm lighting, the images from Romancero came alive on the venue’s walls, complemented by a poetic floral installation by Orangerie and a mesmerizing soundscape featuring the voice of Ángeles Toledano, author of the book’s prologue. Her intimate recitation imbued the evening with the spirit of the South, evoking both nostalgia and renewal.
Guests enjoyed Andalusian-inspired dishes and a musical session by DJ Dichoso, who blended popular and electronic rhythms to create a unique atmosphere that resonated with the night’s theme, the dialogue between past and present.
More than a simple book launch, the event became a living ritual of beauty and memory, a celebration of Spanish folklore and contemporary creativity. Figures from the worlds of fashion, photography, cinema and music praised the sensitivity and artistry with which Alhaja has transformed her emotional universe into print.
Romancero: Estampas de una belleza heredada (Romancero: Images of Inherited Beauty) is not just a publication, it’s a cultural and sensory experience. The exhibition remains open to the public at Nave Club Atlético Lxs Amores until Sunday, November 23, from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Sundays until 6:00 p.m.).
An invitation to see through the eyes of the South, to embrace heritage through beauty, and to rediscover the timeless connection between art and memory.
