Although his style—a rare hybrid of poetry, jazz, rap, and slam—is increasingly difficult to define, Rafael Lechowski is considered one of the most important Spanish-language lyricists in his genre: his voice resonates ever more strongly, exerting a notable influence in both Spain and Latin America. Musically, his works such as *Donde duele, inspira* (Where It Hurts, It Inspires), *El canto de amor a la vida* (The Love Song to Life), and *Quarcissus: el arte de desamar* (Quarcissus: The Art of Unloving) stand out; the latter has been hailed by critics as a significant event in 21st-century Spanish music and literature. His most recent publication is the book *El arte sano de la calle Oviedo* (The Healthy Art of Oviedo Street [An Empirical-Poetic Study of Life and the World]), released in early 2022. His artistic vision is marked by a preoccupation with Being, the anxieties of modern times, religiosity without God, and love as the meaning of life.

The day before the concert, Rafael Lechowski will hold a conversation Along with Carlos Javier González, admission is free until capacity is reached.
