Concert Mami Wata in Barcelona

A concert titled "Mami Wata" takes place in Barcelona, drawing its name from the revered water spirit of West and Central African folklore. The event offers an evening of music inspired by the goddess of wealth, fertility, and healing, whose imagery blends European mermaid depictions with Hindu and Portuguese influences. Attendees can expect a performance that channels the mystique of Mami Wata, a figure known for her power over oceans and rivers and her ability to mesmerize with her beauty.

The concert is part of the cultural offerings at the Centre Cívic Vil·la Urània, a civic center in Barcelona known for hosting workshops and artistic events.
