For the Thursday-through-Sunday window of October 29 to November 1, the sharpest venue story sits in a much smaller frame: two consecutive nights at 23 Robadors, the live-music room on Carrer d’en Robador in the Raval. Thursday pairs Nabila Guisado’s 8:00 PM flamenco set with Portrait of Jaco’s 10:00 PM jazz date; Friday repeats the early-to-late structure before Col·lectiu Vint·i·Tres takes the 10:00 PM jazz slot. The sequence is concise, though it says a great deal about how this room books: music rooted in musicians’ circles, early sets with a direct focus, then an open-ended sense of nocturnal continuity.[1][2][3][4]

23 Robadors describes itself as a small, underground club founded by musicians in 2004, where the stage stays close to the audience and live performance supplies the centre of the night. That self-portrait is useful context for this pair of programmes. The calendar moves fluently between flamenco, jazz and improvised gatherings across the week, and the October 29–30 listings turn that wider house language into a practical two-night route. Its scale encourages a listening experience based on proximity: the appeal lies in catching musicians and combinations in a room built for direct contact.[1][2]

The history has substance beyond the venue’s own description. Reporting on its twentieth anniversary, El País traced 23 Robadors back to guitarist Albert Pons and jazz musicians August Corominas and Joan Suquer converting a former home into a live venue. The article also places the club within an active network of flamenco performers, students and regulars. This week’s schedule still carries that meeting-place impulse: two genres share the same address, the same short stage-to-crowd distance, and a timetable that invites listeners to stay through the handover.[2][5]

Thursday, October 29: a flamenco set leads into Portrait of Jaco

Thursday begins at 8:00 PM with Nabila Guisado, joined by Zofia Kopec, Rodrigo Arenas and Adrià Pueyo. The official 23 Robadors agenda files the date under flamenco, placing it in the room’s early performance slot. That billing carries a useful sense of the venue’s working rhythm: a defined group presentation at a sensible hour, followed by the later session that draws the evening further into the club’s jazz current. For anyone arriving specifically for Guisado’s set, the later programme remains close enough to make the night feel connected.[1]

At 10:00 PM, Portrait of Jaco brings Lluc Casares, Antonio Mazzei, Martin Laportilla and David Xirgu to 23 Robadors. The venue labels the show jazz and lists a €10 admission. Casares’s name also offers a small local thread: he appears in earlier reporting on the room as a Barcelona saxophonist whose working life included the city’s small stages. Here, the main point is the personnel list itself: an explicitly named band encounter, beginning when the first performance’s audience has had time to settle into the night.[3][5]

Friday, October 30: Col·lectiu Vint·i·Tres takes the late slot

Friday’s 10:00 PM concert belongs to Col·lectiu Vint·i·Tres with Roque Garcia, Xavi Maldonado, Giuseppe Campisi and Enric Fuster. Again, 23 Robadors marks the event as jazz and sets the entry at €10. The programme gives the group a clean late-night position after an 8:00 PM flamenco performance elsewhere on the same bill, extending Thursday’s pattern without flattening it into a themed festival. The name Col·lectiu Vint·i·Tres also feels purpose-built for this address, though the essential evidence is practical: another focused ensemble booking in the room’s second set.[1][4]

That twin-bill construction is the real reason to choose 23 Robadors this week. Large rooms can offer a panorama; this one offers a sequence. Thursday’s Guisado and Portrait of Jaco, followed by Friday’s Col·lectiu Vint·i·Tres, place flamenco and jazz alongside one another as regular traffic through a Raval club with roots in both scenes. There is no need to treat the dates as competing options. They work best as adjacent views of the booking identity: named musicians, economical door prices, early and late starts, and a room whose calendar treats genre as a living exchange.[1][2][5]
