For his first concert on the island, David, as a good student of the great master Domingo Rodríguez "El Colorao", carried out a select and successful musical selection with the most traditional of music with Canarian roots such as folias, malagueñas, polkas without forgetting the isa parrandera. He also made a nod to Latin America, interpreting compositions by great authors, songs that are part of the legacy of universal music such as Alma Llanera, Alfonsina y el Mar or El Pájaro Campaña, among others.
The audience, who after so many months without listening to live music, at the moment when David announced the end of the concert, asked him to continue, a request that he kindly complied with, on this occasion with only two encores to comply with the rules established by the organization from the Teguise city council and the Multitrack production company with its director Paco Chinea.
