With nine concerts by local artists such as María Teresa, Cony Ancona, Jesús Armando, Eduardo Vázquez, and Las Maya Internacional, the new cultural program “Olimpo en vivo” will take place from September to November.
With this, the Mérida City Council, headed by Mayor Cecilia Patrón Laviada, is promoting the local artistic community with established experience, giving them opportunities to continue contributing to the city’s artistic and cultural offerings.
At a press conference today, the artists who will be part of the project presented the “Olimpo en vivo” program, which includes nine concerts of various genres and will be held every Friday at the Olimpo Cultural Center, with the aim of attracting a greater number of people and fans of these great local voices.
All performances will be at 8 p.m. in the “Silvo Zavala Vallado” auditorium, a comfortable space accessible to all audiences and equipped with the necessary sound technology to fully enjoy the shows.
In September, the first “Olimpo Live” concert will be led by Jesús Armando with the show “Yucatán es la música” (Friday the 5th). The second will be the vocal duo with María Teresa and Eduardo Vázquez (Friday the 19th), and the third with Cony Ancona, who continues to celebrate “30 years” of musical career (Friday the 26th).
In October, the talents will be “Trovanova e invitados” (Friday the 10th), María Teresa as a soloist as “Coleccionista de canciones” (Friday the 17th), and Marilú Basulto with the concert “A corazón abierto” (Friday the 24th).
In November, we’ll have Las Maya Internacional with a repertoire packed with “Ritmo y Tradición” (Friday the 7th), composer Felipe de la Cruz with “Mi regreso” (My Return) (Friday the 14th), and closing out the program with a concert with Beatriz Cervera, Marilú Basulto, Rubí, and Jesús Armando titled “Entre amigos y boleros” (Among Friends and Boleros) (Friday the 21st).
Tickets are affordable, between 100 and 250 pesos, with all proceeds going to local artists, in recognition of their work and their efforts to preserve musical art. Tickets can be purchased through the Tus Boletos Mx ticket office.

The Director of Identity and Culture, Karla Berrón Cámara, accompanied by the participating artists, emphasized Mayor Cecilia Patrón Laviada’s willingness to allow all the city’s cultural spaces to be used by local artists and allow them to share their artistic work with the public.
As recently announced, Mérida currently holds the UNESCO Learning City designation. In this way, the “Olimpo en vivo” project contributes not only to providing spaces for concerts by great voices from Yucatán, but also to foster learning and an appreciation for different musical offerings ranging from traditional trova, bolero, jazz, and, in general, all regional Yucatecan music.
