Bohemia Lanzarote and Los Sabandeños offered a concert to celebrate International Women's Day last Saturday at the Jameos del Agua Auditorium. The musical groups delighted the public by playing Canción y mujer in the volcanic tube transformed by César Manrique.
The show revolved around the tribute to women and their long attribution to music and the fine arts through the Canary Islands' riches. The fusion of styles, transversally attacking music and femininity, served as a moving tribute on International Women's Day.
The counselor of the Tourist Centers, Ángel Vázquez, wants to publicly thank "the affection, closeness and professionalism with which these two great exponents of music made in the Canary Islands have shared their talent with the public."
Bohemia Lanzarote, a pioneer in paving the way for female soloists on the island, once again demonstrated its courage and vision by creating a resonant space for female voices. The formation led by the Lanzarote tenor Juanma Padrón performed a repertoire that included hits such as Todo cambia, with which they came to light seven years ago, Malagueñas del agua, Sulema or Ayer, popularized by the great Gloria Estefan, among others, which ended with the public standing up dancing and accompanying the rhythm.
For their part, Los Sabandeños, recognized cultural ambassadors of the Canary Islands, reaffirmed their commitment to the preservation and promotion of the archipelago's music in Canción y Mujer. The Tenerife natives offered a wide repertoire with some of their most classic and popular themes.
Canción y Mujer was a successful vibrant testimony of the strength, diversity and vitality of the Canarian music scene, as well as an eloquent reminder of the lasting impact that women have had and continue to have on the arts.
