At the center of the table, a plate of good ham. To elevate the bite, a drink that accompanies. And suddenly: a DJ entertaining the evening, an electronic screen that lights up the bingo numbers and, on a small stage, as master of ceremonies, Xuso Jones.
The new ham movement, which its creators have baptized, has arrived to animate Madrid’s nightlife. And it has been an institution, the Museo del Jamón, who has created this traditional proposal that starts with an invitation to sing a line or bingo with a reward… ham holder. How else would it be!
The Bingo Show with Xuso Jones, which is the name of the invention, is the first of the actions included in the Jamón Sessions that ham lovers will be able to enjoy, under the baton of the Murcian singer and showman who, after passing through programs like Masterchef or Your face sounds familiar to me, it has become a phenomenon on the networks.
“It has been a unique experience to be able to direct this show, hand out delicious prizes and cause everyone to end up celebrating the bingos by dancing, in their place, to the rhythm of the museum’s anthem. I am a number one fan of this product, and even more so of this group that has achieved an “epic and viral” night. It is one of the best plans that you can come to Gran VÃa to do. Eat and escape through a sense of humorâ€, Jones declared.
On March 16, at the iconic Museo del Jamón located at Gran VÃa, 72, the first of the four events that will be repeated once a month until summer began. Write down the dates: April 13, May 11 and June 15 at 8:00 p.m. A perfect afterwork that vindicates a social network of yesteryear! “From the Museo del Jamón we want to promote the new ham scene with these sessions, meeting again in the usual social network, which is the bar, around a good plate of ham and a cane: chatting with our audience through humor , music and a rogue toneâ€, underlined Luis Alfonso Muñoz, CEO of the group.
“The two ducklings”, “the pretty girl”, “grandfather”… Three will be the opportunities you will have to sing line or bingo. If you yell “lÃneaaa”, you will get a pack of sliced ​​meats: 300 grams of white winery ham (award for Best Ham of the year 2020); 300 g of 100% duroc, “purebred”, certified by the University of Lleida, which contains the same organoleptic properties as an Iberian ham, including cholesterol-free fat; and another 300 g of Iberian ham 50% Iberian breed, from Guijuelo. The bingos will be another story. If the universe is on your side, you will be rewarded with a ham. Three rounds, three different hams (the same as those sliced).
In such an original experience, the cards could not be those of a traditional bingo, therefore, in the Jamón Sessions the trivet becomes the perfect support to house the handful of numbers that will make you, or not, the lucky winner. As if it were a blackboard, the numbers are marked with a marker that is erased. And back to the next bingo!
In addition to the game, the (round) experience includes a combo for two people with a portion of Iberian bait ham and four drinks (wine, beer or soft drink) at a price of 39 euros. If you want to reserve a table at one of the upcoming Bingo Shows with Xuso Jones, please confirm your attendance via email from the museum. Long live the new ‘movida Jamonera’ in Madrid!
