Mercedes Peón Performs at Plaza de María Pita in A Coruña

Galician singer‑songwriter Mercedes Peón gave a concert on Sunday, 2 August 2026, in the Plaza de María Pita, A Coruña, Spain. The performance was part of the Noites de María Pita cultural programme and opened with poet Yolanda Castaño reciting a piece titled “Historia da Transformación”.

Peón’s set began with her well‑known song “Marabilla”, accompanied by two violins and a cello, and was later joined by a choir of fourteen women musicians. The show combined live music with visual elements, creating a “temple of art, emotion and female power” that engaged the large local audience. The event coincided with the Feria del Libro and a crafts fair held nearby, offering book signings and family‑friendly activities.

The concert highlighted Peón’s blend of avant‑garde sounds and Galician tradition, and she emphasized its political dimension, stating, “I don’t sing just to sing; this is a political space.”
