The debut of Los Javis at the Cannes festival could not have been more anticipated. After El ser querido, by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, and Amarga Navidad, by Pedro Almodóvar, La bola negra is presented in the final stretch of the event, where Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo aspire to the Palme d’Or with an unfinished story by Federico García Lorca of which only four pages were preserved and which was his first work with an openly homosexual protagonist. The famous Andalusian writer began La bola negra at the beginning of 1936, but he was murdered on August 19 of that same year.

What do global artists today like Kendrick Lamar, Rosalía, C. Tangana, and Bad Bunny have in common? They connect with their identity and claim a cultural heritage, whether it be Las Grecas, George Clinton, Camarón, or the Puerto Rican Héctor Lavoe. To the point that this identity ends up being embraced by anyone from any generation, social stratum, and geographic location. This explains why among the fans of Bad Bunny who will gather at the Estadi Olímpic de Barcelona this Friday and Saturday, in his first appearance in Spain on the Debí tirar más fotos tour, you can find both fifteen-year-old Catalan girls from affluent backgrounds as well as young Latin American immigrants or professionals from Barcelona’s avant-garde cultural sector.
