Thousands of people came to the pier square of La Tiñosa to experience the tribute to Ico Arrocha, the singer from Lanzarote. A three-hour show that brought together almost a hundred musicians and dancers from all the islands. Among the many personalities from the world of folklore and music from all over the Canary Islands who were part of "La Noche de Ico", Mariví Cabo, Olga Cerpa, José Manuel Ramos, Cumbres Gomeras, Besay Rodríguez, Guadarfía, Montse García, Davinia Páez, Elvis Sanfiel, Fefo García, Juan Manuel Padrón or the Coral Polifónica San Ginés, among others, stand out.

All of them went on stage and gave their best to remember Ico. With a fluid rhythm they dedicated their art to the folklorist who disappeared a year ago. The night ended with all the members of the tribute on stage accompanying Olga Cerpa, who brought the gala to an end. Albano Arrocha, Ico's son, was watching the entire gala from the front row, moved.

The artistic direction of the event was carried out by the producer and composer Manuel González, founder of Mestisay, with whom the singer from Conejero collaborated in several successful musical productions in the past.
