Spanish classical guitarist José Manuel Dapena performed a concert on Saturday, March 12, 2011 in Tunis organised by Cervantes Institute.

The Spanish Embassy restarted its cultural events in March 2011 after a two month stop earlier this year because of the situation in the country. 

Cervantes Institute contracted José Manuel Dapena to perform a program featuring works from female Spanish composers in a homage to women's international day. Jose Manuel Dapena is the first international artist playing a concert after Tunisian revolution.
