Send location (I) 12 hours drinking with Carlotta Cosials: "On LSD, at 17, I understood the colors of Jimi Hendrix"
Send location (II) In Pedro LaDroga's backstage: "Sometimes I think what I'm doing walking someone's dog, if I talk to Rosalía"
Of all the open clubs in Madrid, there was none that Marta Fernández, Jaime Martínez Bordiú's wife, the last hostess of the night in the city, liked.
She extended her living room from Chamberí to Fernández de la Hoz, 47 as a solution to the anguish that both she and a group of the
silver
generation felt after dinner: and now where do we go?
"I opened it because I wanted a place to go out with my friends.
The clubs were always full of people I don't know. Girls and young people, all very young.
So I decided to set up the place I would like to go» , he said and on January 20, after six months of reforms, Truhán opened.
At the opening were some of the usual black women in the city at dawn.
El Chatarrero, Javier López Madrid, Andrea Levy,
Fiona Ferrer
or
Antonio Carmona
accompanied him.
That is the phrase of all inaugurations.
"It has had a barbaric response from my friends.
We are doing great. There is already an atmosphere
. Anyone can go," he warns.
"Especially if you are over 35 years old
. The environment needs to be homogeneous."
-My goalkeepers are in charge of selecting the people.
- Is it the place where the parents of those who are in the other clubs go?
-Either.
People from 20 years old can come.
It's a matter of attitude.
A matter of attitude or not, the client's profile is clear: anyone who feels out of place from Ponzano to Panda and suffers an attack of laziness when thinking about Snobíssimo.
"There were many people
who had stopped going out because they had nowhere to go. You asked and they said 'no, I don't go out anymore.'
going out appears by Truhán and they agree: 'I'm having a blast'"
.
It does not want to compete with other places designed for the same public niche.
"We have a different audience. Snobíssimo, for example, has a long-standing clientele.
It is good that there is more supply. Madrid is a paradise for leisure
".
champagne effect
Marta used to live in Vigo.
She has been in the city for 12 years.
"We mostly went to private parties, in houses. With the pandemic it changed.
There was a champagne effect. We went out to dinner. Everyone was on the street. When we finished we couldn't go to any house like before.
So what do we do? Well, to Truhán".
On Thursdays there are flamenco performances.
"I have set up a tablao but it is not a tablao as such. Flamenco fascinates me. I bring good artists. They come from Seville, Granada or Jerez".
The place is set up like a huge "vip zone" where there is "good service, shows and tables. On Fridays we have Kike Super Mix.
He's a great DJ who plays music from the 80s and 90s,"
he describes.
"200 people fit.
We have state-of-the-art exhaust fans. We ventilate every five minutes
."

Marta chose Chamberí because it is a neighborhood that "is becoming fashionable."
Truhán is in the corner with José Abascal.
He has a feeling that he fits everything.
"You know when you want to do something and things don't flow and it gets difficult and you feel like throwing in the towel? Well, with Truhán it's happened the other way around. Everything has flowed. Everything is in your favour.
The place is very good. There is a parking lot close. I have my house next door. And my favorite restaurant, Abascal, also close at hand. Whatever I tell you," he
explains.
Marta speaks quickly and convinced of what she says.
"I have an expansive personality."
It is not the first business that he opens, or project, the euphemism that magazines use to refer to the fluidity of money.
First things went well in Marbella with Aüa Playa, the beach bar where friends, that is, celebrities, also go.
"I'm lucky to meet a lot of people thanks to Jaime," he acknowledges.
"It is that you pack yourself. If it has gone well for me, why are we not going to grow more?
It is called ambition
", defines the enterprising facet of him.
A Truhán is accessed by list.
Marta welcomes customers.
"All who come are invited by me"
.
She has not taken ideas from any local.
She has incorporated what she missed in her outings until she got the place she was looking for.
"Rogue is a cozy place, where no one is going to bother the famous, and fun"
.
She will have things to tell the next day.
"I just love giving parties. I used to organize them at my house.
Now I have decided that this is a way to continue giving them and, in addition, to do business,"
she clarifies.
