23 Robadors’ three-show passage from jazz to flamenco

For the Thursday–Sunday stretch of September 3–6, one of the week’s most coherent routes is concentrated inside 23 Robadors. The room’s programme makes a concise case for listening across forms: Celliacus arrives on Thursday, September 3, with Juanma Trujillo, Diego Caicedo, Juan Pablo Egúsquiza and Jordi Pallarès; on Saturday, September 5, Magda Mañé brings «Raval de la Frontera» with Nito, Albert Pons, Sergio Difinizio and Chus Tobalo. It is a small selection of dates, though it shows the internal rhythm of a venue whose calendar places jazz and flamenco side by side throughout the week.^[1][2][3]

23 Robadors is on Carrer d’en Robador in the Raval, and its own account describes a musician-founded, compact night room where live performance sits at the centre of the space. That scale matters here. The programme is built around named collaborators, familiar instrumental combinations and repeat appearances, which makes the venue feel like a working meeting point for players as much as a stop on a citywide concert itinerary. The official calendar’s sequence places a flamenco bill at 20:00 and a jazz bill at 22:00 on several neighbouring dates, giving this Thursday-and-Saturday pairing a clear context.^[1][2]

Thursday, September 3: Celliacus at 22:00

Celliacus takes the 23 Robadors stage at 22:00 on Thursday with a five-name jazz lineup: Juanma Trujillo, Diego Caicedo, Juan Pablo Egúsquiza and Jordi Pallarès join the headliner. The billing is useful in its specificity. This is presented as a group encounter, with every player named on the venue’s agenda, inviting attention to the ensemble architecture alongside the lead name. It also follows the venue’s 20:00 flamenco set that evening, so the late slot carries the jazz half of one of 23 Robadors’ characteristic double-bill nights.^[1]

For listeners mapping an evening around a single room, the appeal lies in the directness of the handover. The official schedule labels Celliacus as jazz and lists a €10 entry, while the venue situates itself as a close-quarters Raval club shaped by musicians and friends. Arrive with time for the 22:00 start: the setting rewards concentration, and the listed personnel gives the performance a defined musical frame without requiring a broader festival commitment.^[1][2]

Saturday, September 5: Magda Mañé’s two Raval de la Frontera sittings

Saturday shifts the focus to flamenco. «Raval de la Frontera» by Magda Mañé is scheduled twice at 23 Robadors, first at 20:00 and again at 22:00, with Nito, Albert Pons, Sergio Difinizio and Chus Tobalo. Both listings carry the same lineup and the same €10 price, offering two local start times for the same named gathering. That pair of sittings gives readers a practical choice between an early night or the later room, while preserving the same core bill.^[1]

The title itself anchors the performance in the neighbourhood, and the collaborators fit a venue programme that repeatedly returns to flamenco combinations across the surrounding dates. El País has described Robadors 23 as an underground flamenco hub and a place for artists to meet, learn from peers and present their work. Here, the calendar gives that broader identity a concrete shape: Mañé’s Saturday set lands in a room where flamenco is programmed as a regular, close-up practice alongside jazz.^[1][3]
