In the heart of Madrid, on September 12, the highly anticipated cultural production, "Ibiza Paradise by Nacho Cano," will premiere. The musical, seen as an artistic ambassador for Ibiza, is not just a performance, but a collective celebration of the island's history and spirit.

Nacho Cano, a renowned musician and composer, has asserted that the title of the show is not a private trademark, but an open tribute to Ibiza. This assertion comes amidst a petition presented by the Ibiza Council to the European Union last week, aiming to challenge the title of the new musical.

The petition was presented to prevent the "commercial appropriation" of the island's name, with the Council arguing that "Ibiza" is a term deeply rooted in the public domain, referring to both the island and its capital city. However, Cano argues that the show reinforces the international projection of the island and places it back on the European map.

The 'Ibiza Paradise by Nacho Cano' trademark is registered with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), with the registration number 01921391, dated December 18, 2024. It's interesting to note that the EUIPO recognises 232 trademarks with the word 'Ibiza'.

The artist's statement about the premiere was exclusively accessed by ABC, in which Cano mentions that there are approximately 809 commercial denominations in Spain that include the word 'Ibiza' registered with the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office. Attempting to censor "Ibiza Paradise" is seen as unjust and an attack on what the island represents.

Ibiza is described as a heritage for all in the statement, with Cano emphasising that the musical is a celebration of the island's rich history, vibrant culture, and the spirit that has made it an iconic destination for millions.

The producer states that "Ibiza Paradise" is a testament to the island's resilience and its ability to evolve while maintaining its unique identity. The musical is one of the most anticipated cultural productions of the year, promising an immersive and unforgettable experience for its audience.

Despite the controversy surrounding the trademark, 'Ibiza Paradise by Nacho Cano' reaffirms its commitment to the island and its global projection. As the countdown to the premiere begins, the anticipation grows, with fans and critics alike eager to witness this tribute to the magical island of Ibiza.

Unfortunately, the name of the director of the show "Ibiza Paradise" by Nacho Cano remains undisclosed at this time. Nonetheless, with Cano at the helm, expectations are high for this musical that promises to be a celebration of Ibiza like no other.
