This concert, accessible free of charge, is a unique opportunity for audiences around the world to celebrate the legacy of Frida Kahlo through the music of Ely Guerra, renowned for her unmistakable style and ability to convey deep emotions. La Casa Azul will be filled with Guerra's voice in an event that promises to unite Kahlo's art and music in an intimate and meaningful tribute that anyone can enjoy from the comfort of their own home.
La Casa Azul is the perfect setting for a tribute to Kahlo. It is much more than a museum; it is a place full of history. Here Frida Kahlo spent much of her life, creating her works, hosting artists and revolutionaries, and transforming the space into a haven of creativity and resistance. This colourful and colourful venue, full of Mexican folk art, still holds many of Kahlo's personal belongings. Among these are her dresses, her paintbrushes and her famous plaster corset decorated with indigenous motifs. By touring the Casa Azul, visitors can enter Kahlo's world and learn about the depth of her art and life.
The Blue House, located in Coyoacán, is an emblematic space in Mexico City. This building belonged to the Kahlo family since 1904 and opened its doors as a museum in July 1958, four years after Frida's death; the artist lived in the Casa Azul for 36 of her 47 years, and it was here that she created much of her artistic work.
