The most interesting music festival held in the Balearic Islands since the time of the brilliant and chaotic Isladencanta is undoubtedly Mobo. Talent, musical innovation, maximum respect for local production and quality. Far from other commercial proposals, which base their lineup on artists who can draw the biggest crowds, even if, all in all, it makes no sense. Nothing to say if these massive festivals like Mallorca Live, which we have all attended when we liked an artist, also exist. They have to be there.

El Petit de Cal Eril return to Mobofest 8 years after attending its second edition, in 2018, when they were the first non-local group to perform at the musical event that over the years would become, in its own right, the Festival del Pla.

Antònia Font has suspended their concert on the last day of the Mobofest festival due to the premature departure of Joan Roca. Nevertheless, the band members will pay tribute to him. Thus, the performance becomes "a show of affection, love, and admiration for him," according to sources from the organization.

Celebrating friendship is what the Mobofest has done for these 10 years, since 2017, when it burst to life in a first edition at Puig de Consolació, in Sant Joan. It returns this year, from July 23 to 25, to have the last dance and close a life cycle with a very round number: a decade.

The Mallorcan singer Maria Jaume published this Friday San Domingo Forever (Halley Records), a tribute to her hometown, Lloret de Vistalegre, and its patron saint, Sant Domingo: "I miss Mallorca more and more each day," she stated in an interview with Europa Press. This is her fourth studio album and is her "most personal" and most conceptual to date, with 15 songs that blend pop and traditional sounds, using the town's main festival night as a common thread, the singer explained.

The latest edition of Mobofesto It will take place on July 23, 24, and 25. This was announced on Friday by the festival organizers, who also announced the end of the project that began in 2017.

Vicenç Vidal, a member of parliament for the Sumar MÁS party, announced on Saturday a €20,000 grant from the Ministry of Culture for the Mobofest festival. In a press release, Vidal explained that, through his negotiations, he secured a €20,000 grant from the Ministry of Culture, headed by Ernest Urtasun, for Mobofest, recognizing "its excellent work in consolidating a festival conceived and implemented decades ago." Vidal added that this support for Mobofest "is part of a broader package of direct aid to projects and organizations in the Balearic Islands that strengthen the region's culture in a democratic and globally inclusive way, such as the Obra Cultural Balear, CineCiutat, and Casa Planas." The MÉS representative for Mallorca, affiliated with the Sumar Parliamentary Group, added that, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, the idea is to consolidate "a plan to support Balearic culture."
