The purpose of the concert series is to acknowledge and celebrate the historical, musical and artistic link between Menorca and Cuba and more broadly Spain and the Americas through a friendly repatriation of musical forms to the island through a series of concerts which will stand as a metaphor for the harmonious and mutual benefits that can flow from cross cultural appreciation and co-operation.
IslaVuelta – la chispa! is conceived produced and promoted by Ivan Brown of Idtenti Limited (London).
