Olimpo Cultural Center — Attraction in Mérida

I saw the excellent Jazz Funk band Electric Rabbit and the Brass Funkers here. It was a free concert as part of Merida Fest 2024. The band was flawless playing Funk classics and Jazz Funk compositions. Amazing virtuoso Drums, Bass, Horns and Keyboards. The venue was very clean, well designed and comfortable. Great seats, good clear view of the stage, excellent acoustics and nice air conditioning (not too cold). Excellent band, venue and evening....

The area is free to enter and has rotating exhibitions.

Today we saw the works of Jaime Barrera, a local artist who depicts the abstract landscapes of Iceland in his exhibition Islandia - Terra Incógnita. Jaime is incredibly talented, particularly in the use of textures and colour pallets.

Be sure to sign the guest book upon entry and there are free public toilets on site.

Barrera's exhibition will continue to be on showcase...
