Melgarejo has always considered art, cinema, music and culture as a whole, as the ideal framework in which to propose and carry out different solidarity, integrative and playful projects.<\/p>\n\n

From this perspective, it has been actively participating for decades, either as an organizer or as a partner, in different activities aimed at the protection of people and the revaluation of the Jaen territory, to which it owes so much.<\/p>\n\n

Thus, we can appreciate Melgarejo’s predisposition to promote community and well-being through culture in the following areas of action<\/p>\n\n

Music<\/h2>\n\n

The musical culture in Melgarejo comes from afar with collaborations that have lasted over time for 16 years. Some of the most prominent are listed below.<\/p>\n\n

The so-called Vertigo Festival is a popular music event in which the \u201cMelgarejo Stage\u201d is located, a space reserved for new groups and talents of the moment and which, to this day, is a prominent event during the month of August.<\/p>\n\n

For several years, Melgarejo has organized the Extra Virgin Session which has been held in legendary venues in Granada, the city par excellence of music. On this occasion, Melgarejo appears as the organizer of the event but also as a sponsor of several musical groups.<\/p>\n\n

Melgarejo also advocates for classical and jazz music. In this sense, it collaborates with the Sacred Music Cycle, as well as with the Ja\u00e9n Jazzy jazz association, together with which it organizes different festivals throughout the region sharing this stimulating style of music.<\/p>\n\n

Melgarejo has also been sponsored in the documentary music festival “DOCK OF THE BAY”, which is held every year in San Sebastian and whose theme is documentaries about music or environment to the life and work of a related artist with this art.<\/p>\n\n

Melgarejo is from its beginnings, especially, linked to the world of cinema. The collaborations in short and feature films are multiple.With the aim of promoting this art, the Rodando por Ja\u00e9n Awards take place, which will soon celebrate their 7th edition, as well as various competitions such as DECORTOAN.<\/p>\n\n
