The Los Campesinos Folk Group celebrated the 'XXXV Festival Campesino' last Friday night, presenting the show 'Scenic Land', with the participation of the company 'Pieles'.
The public that completely filled the allowed capacity in the José Ramírez Cerdá park was able to enjoy the good work and dedication of two references of popular music, one traditional and the other avant-garde, united to perform the show 'Scenic Land', based on the tasks and songs of the countryside and the sea. The night began with the Zaranda del Viento, Women of the Littoral, Seguidillas, Malagueñas, Sorondongo and Isa del Uno, which were intertwined with others such as La danza del Trigo, Magdalena, Barquera or Isa del Regreso.
Miguel Ángel Corujo directs this show that captivated the numerous public that did not stop applauding each of the stagings carried out by the members of 'Pieles' and 'Campesinos'. An edition that will be remembered for the extraordinary work and dedication of the two cultural groups that did not decline at any time, achieving with flying colors the objective that they had set with a grateful public that, standing up, rewarded them with their resounding applause.
Los Campesinos
Los Campesinos, founded in 1964 in Arrecife, has been a cultural reference on the island for the last six decades and a true symbol of the popular culture of the Canary Islands, as confirmed by the granting of the Gold Medal, which was awarded by the Autonomous Government as a sign of the recognition and respect that the group has earned throughout its trajectory.
Pieles
The Pieles Company presented itself with an avant-garde proposal inspired by the folklore of the Canary Islands, also drawing on the traditional manifestations of the rest of the world. An innovative project with great ethnographic and anthropological value, which promotes the rapprochement between the various cultures of the planet to give rise to a plural song; Canarian and universal. Pieles recreates the popular sonority of music through a novel experience, in the most primitive folkloric resources, stone, glass, wood and metal, alternate with the classic cut instrument.
