This performance seeks not only to pay tribute to two universal rock icons but also to revive their musical legacy for new generations of students and culture lovers.
In an interview, Jorge Mena Rodríguez, UADY’s cultural coordinator and coordinator of the event, explained that the show emerged from the artistic reflection promoted by maestro Miguel García Arrechea and has established itself as an innovative proposal that seeks, after the isolation experienced during the pandemic, to reconnect young students with classical rock music.
“During the lockdown, many students began composing from home, reflecting on and reinterpreting music with their meaning. This initiative is part of that artistic awakening,” Mena commented.
The event will feature two prominent singers, Miguel Domínguez and Mauricio Zoreda, who will bring to life the repertoires of The Beatles and Elvis, accompanied by a live band composed of two drummers, two basses, guitars, keyboards, and backing vocals. The show’s format will be dynamic, alternating songs between both legends, with a closing performance where both musical universes come together in a special collaboration.
The repertoire includes more than 40 iconic songs, such as “Come Together,” “Hey Jude,” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” carefully selected to represent the most recognized from each discography. The show will last approximately two hours.
“Elvis and The Beatles are fundamental pillars of rock and roll. They are historical and aesthetic milestones.
Proceeds will also be used to strengthen the cultural activities of our faculties,” added Mejía.
The event will take place at the Felipe Carrillo Puerto Theater, with a capacity for 285 people, and is described as an intimate and magical space, ideal for enjoying this type of show. Admission will have a recovery fee of 280 pesos, available both online and at the box office on the day of the event.
