The Canarian Timple Association celebrates the II Timple Days called on this occasion "Timpleando". They started on Friday afternoon at the Timple House-Museum of La Villa with the welcoming words of the Councilor for Culture of the City Council, Olivia Duque, and the commissioner of the House-Museum, Benito Cabrera. Both thanked the representatives of the Canarian Timple Association present there for their kindness in continuing to trust the House-Museum to develop "such interesting" days in favor of Canarian culture.
After the welcoming words, the recognition and distinction of some of the people linked to the timple took place, such as the timple player Juan A. González Valerón, the artisan Manuel Alonso Trujillo, representative of Timples Kima, Pilar Ramos, sister of José Antonio, and the young timple player Abrahán Ramos, among others.
Later, the exhibition dedicated to the memory of José Antonio Ramos was inaugurated, which includes several photos of the timple player in different periods of his life, part of his discography, press clippings, one of the timples that accompanied him in his concerts. In addition, it is complemented by a screen where some of the many concerts he carried out on many stages around the world are collected.
The day ended with the concert for "Timple and Piano" by the young timple player from Artenara, the city where José Antonio Ramos was also born. Abrahán Ramos, accompanied on the piano by maestro Alberto Brazuelo, chose complicity and mastery as a technique, elements that contributed to the public enjoying from the first moment to the end. Ramos, a great connoisseur of the life and musical work of who was his teacher José Antonio Ramos, performed in duet with Alberto Brazuelo some of the great compositions left by José Antonio. Themes such as Artenara, Chipude, Retamilla, Bucio or Very Jar. To perform this last theme, Abrahan used José Antonio's own timple known as "Timple Midi", and that for this occasion and due to the friendship that unites him to the family of the deceased timple player, his wife Marga had left him.
Abrahán not only made the public enjoy his music, but also throughout the concert he was detailing with great wisdom the content of each of the pieces he performed, to which he also added anecdotes from the life of who had been his teacher. As he rightly pointed out, with his departure the "Canarian timple lost a Giant". Amid applause with an audience delivered and standing, Abrahan Ramos and Alberto Brazuelo ended the tribute concert to José Antonio Ramos.
