The exhibition, titled ‘El Universo de José José’, is a comprehensive display of memorabilia, stage costumes, records, and personal items from a private collection. A standout feature is a hologram of José José, the closest younger generations get to witnessing this beloved ballader’s performance.\n\nThe show also includes live music sessions on Saturdays at Parque de la China, keeping the spirit of his songs alive in the open air through the exhibition’s run. A themed route, ‘La nave del olvido’ (‘The Ship of Oblivion’), weaves the experience through Azcapotzalco’s streets, connecting the tribute to the borough’s heart.\n\nJosé José’s music, spanning five decades, has become a shared national repertoire in Mexico. For expats seeking to understand Mexico’s cultural tapestry, this exhibition offers a key to the songs that echo through every family gathering. Free entry runs through Monday, August 31. The Casa de la Cultura Azcapotzalco, easily reachable from Metro Cuitláhuac (Line 2), is the venue.
