Cervezas Alhambra adds Murcia Origen May 20

Cervezas Alhambra has added two new May dates to its Murcia Origen program, extending a local calendar the brewer launched earlier this year as the successor to Murcia Inspira. One of those dates is a May 20 edition of “Canciones Contadas” at La Gusa in Murcia, where Joaquín Montoya Coy is scheduled to appear. (eldiario.es) Local reports said the session will combine a cata maridaje with a live performance and will run with limited seating. (msn.com) The May 20 event is part of a broader Murcia Origen lineup that Cervezas Alhambra has been rolling out through spring, pairing music, gastronomy and other small-format cultural experiences in the city. Earlier May programming included “Murcia en Vinilo” on May 14 at Todo Passa Club, a four-hour listening event built around vinyl-only sets. (laopiniondemurcia.es) ### What exactly is happening on May 20? May 20 is the date set for a new “Canciones Contadas” session within Murcia Origen, according to local coverage published on May 13. The event is scheduled for 20:00 at cervecería La Gusa in Murcia and is presented as one of two new additions to the May calendar. (eldiario.es) The program will include a cata maridaje and a live set by Joaquín Montoya Coy, the reports said. Coverage in La Opinión de Murcia and Murcia Plaza said the session will focus on Montoya Coy and his song “Me estoy volviendo loco.” ### Who is Joaquín Montoya Coy in this lineup? (eldiario.es) Joaquín Montoya Coy is named by local reports as the featured participant in the May 20 “Canciones Contadas” edition. Murcia Plaza identified him as a member of Azul y Negro, the Spanish synth-pop group associated with “Me estoy volviendo loco.” Joaquín Montoya’s official website lists his discography and video catalog under his own name, providing an additional primary-source confirmation that he remains an active credited artist. (laopiniondemurcia.es) His site includes pages for releases and videos, while third-party music databases also list work tied to Azul y Negro. ### Where is La Gusa, and how is access being handled? (laopiniondemurcia.es) La Gusa is the venue named for the May 20 event in all of the local reports reviewed. Third-party venue listings place Cervecería La Gusa on Ronda de Garay in Murcia, near the city’s bullring and the old La Condomina stadium area. The May 13 coverage said seating for the event is limited. Cervezas Alhambra’s Murcia Origen events have generally been distributed through official channels rather than open walk-in promotion; for the May 14 “Murcia en Vinilo” event, for example, invitations were made available through Murcia Origen’s official channels.

Murcia Origen was presented in February 2026 as a new cultural and gastronomic platform from Cervezas Alhambra in Murcia. ElDiario.es said the project was created as an evolution of Murcia Inspira after seven years and would focus on the origin of creative processes through music, food and local collaborations. (tripadvisor.es) April and May programming shows that format in practice. ElDiario.es reported a “Ruta LUX” gastrocultural route in Santa Eulalia in April, followed by “Murcia en Vinilo” on May 14 and now the May 20 and May 27 additions. (eldiario.es) ### What comes after the May 20 session? May 27 is the next date named alongside the Montoya Coy session. Local reports said Kiosco de Abenarabi will host a “Cata Maridaje” led by beer sommelier Julio Cerezo as the second new Murcia Origen event added for the month. Cervezas Alhambra’s own event pages describe “Momentos Alhambra” as a calendar of music, gastronomy and culture, and Murcia Origen is being programmed within that broader framework. (eldiario.es) For readers tracking the next step, the May 20 event at La Gusa starts at 20:00, and the May 27 tasting with Julio Cerezo is the next concrete date now listed in local coverage.
