Last Wednesday afternoon on the stage located next to the Music Kiosk in the José Ramírez Cerdá park, the audience was able to enjoy the show 'Singing to the Memory' for Canary Islands Day, an original idea by Orlando Callero in which traditional Canarian music and dances went hand in hand, manifestations typical of these days in which Canarian identity is so strongly claimed.
Orlando Callero with the show 'Singing to the Memory', intended to rescue some of the traditions that have fallen asleep over time and that was the occasion to take them to a stage and that some would remember them again and others to discover them for the first time.
The show featured a good musical base 'Amigos de Lanzarote', formed by seven seasoned musicians knowledgeable about traditional Canarian music in charge of supporting the voices of four young soloists from Lanzarote: Gara Niz, Fabio Martín, Vicky Rodríguez and Israel López, who put their prodigious voices to interpret the most representative of Canarian folklore such as folias, malagueñas, mazurka, isa or sorondongo. Traditional dances were also present with the dance body of the Coros y Danzas Arrecife Folk Group with more than 60 years taking their songs and dances around the world leaving the Canarian flag very high wherever they go.
Coros y Danzas Arrecife once again surprised the public with a spectacular staging in each of their choreographies and which were highly applauded by the attending public. The Councilor for Festivities of the Arrecife City Council, Echedey Eugenio, and the Councilor for Culture, Abigail González, at the end of the show congratulated Orlando Callero and all the participants, musicians, soloists and dancers for the success of the show 'Singing to the Memory'.
