The Cabildo of Lanzarote, through its Culture Area, has prepared a varied cultural program for this month of February. Residents and visitors can enjoy a wide range of activities that include music, film, exhibitions and conferences, designed for all audiences.
The Culture Councilor of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, Jesús Machín Tavío, has stressed the importance of this program: “February arrives loaded with proposals that seek to enrich the cultural life of our island. We invite everyone to participate and enjoy these activities that we have organized with dedication, with the aim of reaching every corner of the island.”
Music
The month of February begins with a musical program that ranges from flamenco to Latin jazz, through the recovery of ancestral sounds and fusion with modern rhythms.
One of the most anticipated proposals is the Judeline concert, on February 6, with tickets already sold out. The next day, the multi-instrumentalist Abraham Cupeiro will present The Forgotten Sounds, a proposal that will transport the public through time rescuing ancient instruments and traditional melodies, in Jameos del Agua.
On February 8, the island will experience Cuban sound and Latin jazz thanks to the performance of Troveros de Asieta, together with violinist Alfredo de la Fe, within the program of the Canary Islands International Music Festival, which also brings the Vienna Boys Choir to Lanzarote, also with everything sold out.
Theater
Theater always occupies a prominent place in the island's cultural program. This month features proposals that focus on experimentation and comedy. On Saturday, February 8, Prototekné will present Neón, In media res, a performative show that will have two performances at El Almacén, which on the 14th will also host the performance HABITAR(r), by Laboratorio Escénico.
