Madrid brings together Venezuelan musicians for a concert for Venezuela
Madrid will host a benefit concert this Tuesday, 30 June, to support the victims of the earthquake that has struck Venezuela. The event will take place at Casa Brava, on Calle Valverde, and will bring together more than a dozen Venezuelan musicians living in the city.
The concert, titled “Desde Afuera”, was organised as a rapid response from afar. Many of the participating artists have family, friends, or direct ties to the affected areas, and have found in music a way to channel their concern and turn it into concrete help.
Proceeds will go to organisations working on the ground in rescue operations, support for those affected, and humanitarian response. Tickets are available from five euros, and there is also the option to contribute with a solidarity ticket for those unable to attend.
The event will begin at 20:30 and will feature names such as Inés de Lis, Gioco, Mar Morena, Todo Bien Todo Mal, Eva Anaí, Luigi Escalante, Lucía Alegría, Volver al Mar, Cala Mazú y Garcè, among other artists connected to the Venezuelan scene in Madrid.
The mobilisation comes after the double earthquake that shook Venezuela last Wednesday, 24 June. Authorities have raised the death toll to over 1,400 people, with thousands injured and an ongoing emergency as rescue efforts continue.
In Madrid, the tragedy is felt with particular intensity. The Venezuelan community in the city now exceeds 100,000 people, so every piece of news from the country is followed with anxiety in homes, associations, businesses, and cultural spaces across the capital.
Casa Brava will thus become a meeting point for those looking to help, support each other, and maintain their connection with Venezuela at a critical moment. It will not just be a concert, but a night of shared mourning, mutual support, and solidarity organised through music.
The initiative also highlights the role that small cultural spaces play in a city like Madrid. Local venues, bars, and intimate stages can react quickly to emergencies and bring together communities that need more than just information: they need to see each other, listen, and act together.
For those unable to be at Casa Brava, the solidarity ticket still allows them to contribute. The organisers stress that the emergency does not end with the initial impact of the earthquake and that reconstruction will need support for weeks to come.
This time, Madrid will respond with guitars, voices, and a packed venue. In a city where the Venezuelan community is part of daily life, Tuesday’s concert will be a simple and direct way to send help without losing sight of what matters most: behind every number are families waiting for news, shelter, and support.
