Like every February 28, today we celebrate the Andalucia’s day, a land that is characterized by its color, its joy and its sound. Today we wanted to join the tributes by taking a look at that stage that has become on many occasions to host the recording of video clips both from artists proud of their land and from others who have fallen in love with it despite being from other countries.
We have selected a video clip for each province, because none has gone unnoticed by the music scene.
Malaga: Madonna. Take a Bow
Málaga has been one of the cities that has hosted the most video clips. International like Natasha Bedingfield (Bruised Water), Jamiroquai (Love Foolosophy), Melanie C (On The Horizon), Sophie Ellix-Bextor (Music Gets The Best Of Me) either The Chemical Brothers (Galvanize) filmed in their towns, streets, monuments. Come on, many have fallen for its charms.
Marbella, Ronda, Benalmádena or Fuengirola have become the setting for video clips. Also Antequera, where Madonna ended up rolling take a bow after the Royal Mestranza de Caballería de Ronda denied him permission to film in their bullring because they believed it would be an offense to bullfighting. She remained committed to her idea of remembering the myth of Carmen in the person of her alongside the bullfighter. Emilio Muñoz and Antequera opened the doors to him.
It wasn’t the only video clip that was filmed there, it also had that setting You’ll see.
Córdoba: India Martínez. The Gypsy woman
India Martinez She is an Andalusian woman who boasts her origins and roots. She is from Córdoba by birth and she has always had her land very much in mind and has shown it in some of her video clips.
In La gitana we could see images of world-famous places that have received the title of Heritage of humanity by unesco such as Medina Azahara, the Mosque-Cathedral and the Historical Center of Córdoba.
Granada: Lola Índigo ft Dellafuente. Bad luck
One of the artists that Granada has shown the most in her video clips is Lola Indigo. In the case of his collaboration with the man from Granada, Dellafuente, they chose the olive tree area of the Mirador de San Miguel Alto, which has some of the most spectacular views of the Alhambra. There many tourists could see how they put images on Bad luck.
Almeria. David Bisbal: Ave Maria
“Today marks one year since I was granted the honor of being named Favorite Son of Almería and Andalusia. I want to take advantage of this day to send a message full of love to all Andalusians. Andalusia is unique, full of beauty, culture and wonderful people. Each one of us carries Andalusia in our hearts and that is what makes this land special! So, today, on this very special anniversary, I want to thank you all for your support and love. Let’s continue working together, fighting for a better Andalusia every day. Long live Andalusia! Long live Almería!” With these words he celebrated David Bisbal this year on Andalusia Day, a land of which he is the best possible ambassador.
Above all, for Almería, which has become the setting for many of his music videos since that first Ave Maria which was filmed in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, specifically on Mónsul beach.
Then it came Bulería which showed us the desert of Tabernas or Tower of Babel with the Alcazaba of Almería in the background.
Seville: SFDK. SEVILLE
The Andalusian capital has been chosen by many artists to shoot their video clips there. Already in the 90s groups like Simply Red they passed by there (Something Got Me Started) either Spandau Ballet (Gold).
But, without a doubt, the artists who have given the city the most visibility have been the Sevillian rappers. Haze, Rasel either Junior These are just some examples of kids from the neighborhood who wanted to show theirs. Neither the legendary ones SFDK They resisted showing the Triana Bridge or the route from Alamillo to Betis Street.
Jaén: Manu Tenorio. Chained
Although he is Sevillian by birth, Manu Tenorio He considers himself, above all, Andalusian and all the southern provinces know it well. Jaén is not a priori one of the most in-demand cities, perhaps because it lacks a coast, but it has also been a stage for some artists.
In fact, The Provincial Council of Jaén collaborated so that the video clip of Chained which was a contestant on Operación Triunfo, will show some of the city’s charms such as the Arab Baths, the Cathedral or the patio of the Provincial Palace.
Cadiz: Bunbury. The sad
Pastori Girl and Alejandro Sanz they sang to I fell, although in the song’s video only photographs of the city appeared. He is one of many who has remembered the little silver cup. white butterflies of Rosario Flowers, The good of Soraya and Mumbai either The sad of Enrique Bunbury They have shown us the province.
We are going to stick with the video of the Zaragoza native who, in 2021, covered the song Jose jose as a sign of his love for Mexico. Only she did not go to Latin American lands to record the song, but she did it in the studio of Paco Loco in El Puerto de Santa María. And while he was there, he recorded the video clip there, at the Osborne wineries under the direction of Mario Ruiz and the participation of the actors Jaime Olías and Daniela Aldana.
Huelva: Nicky Jam & Beéle. Heat
If we talk about Huelva it is impossible not to think about Manuel Carrasco and its Isla Cristina. But we are not going to stick with any of his videos filmed there but with an international one.
When Nicky Jam and Beele They came to Spain to record the video clip for Heat The question immediately began to circulate on social networks about what they were doing on Isla Canela. Although at the time, his manager wanted to mislead the staff by locating the filming in Portugal, the truth is that the couple was in Ayamonte. The Isla Canela Kitesurf School, Poniente Kite, knows this well and had them there.
Andalusia, how beautiful you are!
