La Mona Jiménez has announced that at the end of the month she will be playing for free at the Obelisk

It happened a few days ago, almost at the end of the second edition of the Bum Bum Festival organized by Mona Jiménez at the Córdoba Hippodrome, with an audience of 35,000 people.

“This is unprecedented,” the Boss said in his recital. “On May 28, we are at the Obelisk, free admission for everyone!” he ejaculated excitedly.

At that time of night, the festival put together a selection of figures from Córdoba’s music, and many people in the audience left or were interrupted and missed Mona’s announcement and confirmation.

So back then, when no one from the City of Buenos Aires expected or confirmed it, the famous actress gave the show’s premiere with free admission.

Tribute from Buenos Aires to Mona

The idea, as found out later, was that the historic mega-recital on Saturday 28 was a tribute from the City of Buenos Aires to Carlos Jiménez’s career and Cordoban culture.

Mona’s son and producer “Carli” Jiménez, was quick to clarify that this show will not be the third edition of the Bum Bum Festival, but it will be the start of a nationwide tribute tour, as a tribute to the highest reference of the Cordovan quartet. .

“This is not Bum Bum. They will honor my old man all over the country. In many cities they will give him the keys. We have Buenos Aires and then we will move on to the capitals of other provinces,” Carli said. , as he is known. brush.

A first hint

Now that many are looking to connect the ends, they remember that last summer Mona Jiménez celebrated her 71st birthday on January 11 and celebrated it in the first edition of the Bum Bum Festival, of which she was the star. That was on January 15 and 16. During those times, the head of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, visited Córdoba and met with Mona. After the meeting there was a photo and now it follows that they will close the show there.

Post -pandemic activity

Earlier last year, Carli Jiménez confessed that her father suffered during the pandemic.

“At first, he took it as a long vacation,” she said. “But over time I got depressed. In 54 years of career, I had never cut more than a month. I didn’t want to eat, I had a bottle of wine a night,” he added.

But one day, everything changed. “We proposed streaming and he was motivated. He started getting up at 7, swimming, kick boxing and almost gave up alcohol. Passion moves him. He knows he’s opening his mouth and people are getting chicken skin. Yes No that., dying to me “.

Nearly 70 days later, Mona was pleased to do her first live show for streaming and more than 150 thousand people saw it.

“This streaming modality has become a technological ritual for all Cordovans and Moneros,” Mona said. And he expanded on the concept: “Or like a World Cup: they connect from all over the world, whatever time it is. In the first show, we had between 30 and 40% connected from abroad.”

“We want -he concluded- that it becomes a classic. As if it were in Sergeant Cabral. With lights, my costumes, the signs of the neighborhoods. And the schedule of the show is part of the combo, because people come to see me after twelve o’clock. When he had eaten a barbecue and had something to eat first “.
