“Thank you Jerez, thanks to the town hall, to the mayoress, to Mariola Orellana [representante y esposa de Antonio Carmona] and to all those who have worked tirelessly to fulfill my mother’s dream: to have their cultural center and museum in Jerez, on their land. Thank you from the heart,” Lolita Flores wrote on Instagram on Thursday after presenting the museum with her sister.
Rosario, for her part, also expressed on her networks: “This Friday of Dolores the illusion of my mother is inaugurated. Her museum in Jerez de la Frontera. I am very excited, I have no words. My heart is going to come out.”
At the press conference, the singer of Gloria said defined the museum of Lola Flores like “an explosive bomb” and confessed: “If I put myself as a daughter, I’m going to see all the things about my mother, my house, my life… It’s a feeling of seeing my whole life and seeing the mother I had so big and so beautiful and with that energy that still fills the hearts of all of us. It seems to me a miracle of life”. The museum was also tried to open in Madrid or Seville, but without success. “I wanted her museum to be like her house, so that people would go and have made the house that she wanted,” Lolita said in this appearance before the media.
More than 200 pieces are exhibited in the museum of the legendary artist. From her wedding dress to dozens of replicas of her jewelry. Her granddaughter Elena FuriaseIn addition, he has recorded the audio guides. The center will also have a tablao and a patio loaded with symbolism.
The walls frame a review not only of his figure, but also of the history of an entire country. Lola Flores has gone down in history as one of the essential figures to understand our culture. Her land, Andalusia, was also recognized on February 28 with the posthumous title of Favorite Daughter. An acknowledgment that for the Flores family should have come while she was alive, but that finally came almost 30 years after her death.
“She left with great sorrow for not having this medal, but better late than never (…) It really is an illusion and a great honor for us, and she, with or without a title, was the Favorite Daughter of Andalusia”, expressed Rosario after collecting, at the Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville, the well-deserved title.
