Lovers of soul music will delight as Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Acantha Lang brings her acclaimed live show to Sala Louie Louie Live in Estepona on Saturday, June 6, with doors opening at 11pm.
A rising icon of modern soul and funk
lang was born in New Orleans and is known as one of the most compelling voices in modern soul and funk. Critics frequently compare her to genre icons including Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight, praising a vocal style filled with Southern soul and hard-driving funk. Her debut album Beautiful Dreams reached an incredible No. 3 on the Official UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart, earning widespread praise across the US and Europe.
Route 66 magazine described her as “one of the revelations of recent soul,” while BBC 6 Music presenter Craig Charles hailed her as “brilliant… destined to dominate the world.”
From the US to the Costa del Sol
Lang’s career has taken her from her US television debut on CBS Saturday Morning to sold-out shows across Spain, the Canary Islands, Paris and Amsterdam. She earned her Grammy nod as a songwriter for her exceptional work on Robert Randolph & The Family Band’s heavily praised album Got Soul.
Another major point in her impressive career came at London’s Barbican, where she appeared as a special guest at the Memphis Soul Revue, sharing the stage with Carla Thomas, Grammy-winning producer Boo Mitchell, and members of Al Green’s legendary band.
Her music has now surpassed 7.7 million streams, with tracks featured on leading Spotify playlists including All Funked Up, Best Retro Songs and Best Funk Songs.
A night in Estepona
Audiences can get into the smooth grooves with favourites from Beautiful Dreams and snippets from her forthcoming second album. Tickets are on sale now, booking is recommended. Sala Louie Louie Live is located at Puerto Deportivo, Avenida Luis Braille 1, Estepona. More information is available on the Louie Louie website.

Raquets at the ready as Estepona’s sporting side grows even further, with the addition of two new padel courts being added to its outdoor facilities in the Nueva Atalaya urbanisation. The project, which is already under way, will occupy a plot located between Calle Nueva Atalaya and Avenida Pernet.
What the new works will include
According to the council, the project involves levelling and improving the plot, clearing the land, building the two courts, and installing electricity and rainwater drainage systems. The facilities will cover around 400 m², and the works have been awarded to Equipamientos Deportivos S.A. for €124,503. The contract has a three‑month completion period from the start of construction.
The expansion of the existing sports area
The new courts will be added to the sports area already in place in Nueva Atalaya, which currently holds just one padel court and a multi‑sport pitch used for five‑a‑side football, basketball and other activities. The council notes that the expansion hopes to increase opportunities for physical activity while supporting community cohesion in this eastern district of the town. Additional courts will enable players to create larger padel mixins that prove popular along the coast.
Investment in local sports
The Nueva Atalaya project is just another part of an overall project to improve sports facilities across outlying neighbourhoods. Recent upgrades in Cancelada at the space dedicated to Ignacio Echeverria, the young Spaniard killed while defending victims during the 2017 London terror attack, include a calisthenics park, two petanque courts, and a table tennis table. The existing facility already has a skate park and green areas.
How to book the new courts
The new courts will be bookable through Estepona Council’s online reservation system for local sports facilities, which requires users to register with the Delegacion de Deportes before accessing the booking portal. For more information visit the Estepona Town Hall website.
Estepona will host its inaugural Patchwork event on Saturday, June 6, bringing together craft enthusiasts from across the region for a day dedicated entirely to textile art. The event is organised by Lola’s Haberdashery (Merceria Lola), in collaboration with Estepona Town Hall, and will be held at the Estepona Exhibition and Congress Centre (Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos) from 12pm to 7pm. The charity bar will be run by Paula and the Bone Marrow Factory Association (Paula y la Fabrica de Medula), a local group supporting bone‑marrow donation.
What to expect at the event
Three areas will be set up inside the venue, a working zone for registered participants, an exhibition area, and a catering zone featuring the charity bar. Visitors can browse the displays and enjoy the creative atmosphere throughout the afternoon at no cost.
How to register for the Estepona Patchwork day
Participation is limited to 100 places. Registration is available by calling 649 732 491. The €50 fee includes a materials kit, lunch, gifts, and entry into prize draws. Bookings remain open until all places are filled, so early registration is recommended.
What is Patchwork? The benefits of textile arts and crafts
Patchwork, or “work with patches” is a traditional hand‑sewing technique that joins small pieces of fabric in different colours, patterns, and textures to create a larger decorative design. It is commonly used for quilts, cushions, garments, and accessories.
It’s not only creative appeal that attracts people, the craft supports sustainability by reusing leftover fabric scraps, encourages mental wellbeing through its rhythmic, meditative process, and fosters community by bringing people together around a shared hobby.
Free entry to Estepona’s textile gathering
If you are an experienced needle worker and would like to take part, or simply curious about textile arts and want to give it a go or have a browse, this event is for you to get the creative juices flowing.
Mark June 6 in your diary and head to the venue for a day of something different, creativity, community, and colour.
