Blues fans head to Cajiz village for free fourth annual night of live music this Saturday

Cajiz in the Axarquia region of Malaga province gets ready for its fourth Noche de Blues on Saturday, August 22. Local blues fans and visitors can enjoy a proper summer evening of live music starting at 9pm in the school courtyard.

New York-born guitarist, singer and harmonica player Richard Ray Farrell, who lives in the village and helped start the event, tops the bill once more. Supporting acts include Javier Martin, Sergio Diaz and Dutch vocalist Manuela Nelom, plus Spanish outfit Trio del Saco with David Quintero, Angel Quintero, Daniel Cuenca and Raul Ranea.

Free entry with food, drink and raffles for a good cause

Organisers from the Junta de Festejos de Cajiz and local authorities have put together another community night with a charitable twist. All proceeds go to the Junta de Festejos. Entry costs nothing, though a donation of five to ten euros would be welcome. Expect a food and drink area plus several raffles during the evening.

Farrell has encouraged everyone to turn out and match the success of earlier years. He describes this year’s line-up as full of talented performers who deserve the chance to show what they can do. The musician thanked the organisers for looking after every detail and helping turn the night into a regular summer tradition for Cajiz.

What to expect on the night

Music kicks off at 9pm and runs late. Previous editions drew crowds from across Velez-Malaga and the wider Axarquia. This one keeps the same friendly, open-air feel that has made it popular.
