The massive concert offered this Wednesday by Melendi at the Los Dolores festivities in Mancha Blanca brought together more than 60,000 people according to estimates provided by security forces this Thursday at 08:00 hours.
The concert, organized by the Cabildo of Lanzarote, chaired by María Dolores Corujo, presented a Melendi dedicated to his audience to whom he presented his album "likes y Cicatrices" with dedication and good humor.
The Asturian addressed the attendees several times to "thank them for the great reception and compliment Lanzarote", to the enthusiasm of an audience that cheered his songs.
The president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote thanked the responsibility of each of the people who came last night to enjoy a safe concert with more than 150 troops who "gave everything to make the evening go without incident."
"Lanzarote experienced a long-awaited moment last night after the pandemic, the Los Dolores festival reaches its last days bringing everyone together in a concert that we will not forget... thanks to Melendi for his closeness and professionalism. Lanzarote deserved a magical night."
For his part, the mayor of Tinajo, Jesús Machín, acknowledged to La Voz that Wednesday night was "something never seen before. The queues of cars stretched from Tinajo to Arrecife."
