To mark "Canary Islands Day", Teguise Town Council held a concert last Saturday night at the Santo Domingo Convent. A concert that replaced the traditional stall that has been held in previous years in the municipal tent and that for reasons of covid has had to be suspended.

The concert began at 9:00 p.m. with the Teguise music band as the instrumental base. With 30 musicians who were also joined by the lutes of Erika Corujo and Fefo Pérez and directed by the professor, Ayoze Rodríguez were surrounding each of the soloists who paraded on stage representing each group.

The first notes that were heard in the convent were those of "Nube de Hielo", a composition by the timplista Benito Cabrera and later gave way to a wide repertoire with the most representative compositions of our Canarian folklore such as isas, folías, malagueñas, mazurka and polkas. Ending with the traditional pasodoble "Islas Canarias".

The audience enjoyed the concert, an experience that was very novel where the instrumental fusion of the music band and the voices of the soloists from the first intervention until the end started the most sonorous applause.

When the concert was coming to an end, the Councilor for Culture, Nory Machín, addressed those present to congratulate them on "Canary Islands Day", thanking all the groups that in such a short space of time had achieved such surprising and original results. The concert ended with an encore at the request of the public with the notes of the pasodoble Islas Canarias that was sung by all those present.
