The Yaiza Town Council uses theater and musical performance as a way to spread the cultural values of its people. The event took place last Friday at the House of Culture, where you could enjoy songs and chronicles evoked to the life of the municipality.
That was the spirit of the concert From the Root to the Land promoted by the Culture Area of the Yaiza Town Council, from the fusion of touch and song with documented stories that narrated passages of the municipality's history. José Vicente Pérez (bass and timple), Adrián Niz (guitar), Acorán Ramos (bass) and the voices of Manuel Estupiñán and Ciro Corujo, together with carefully elaborated and narrated texts in off, gave content and form to this unique artistic proposal specially conceived for Yaiza, remembering the protagonists that “what is not forgotten does not die”, between the enjoyment and the ovation of the public.
In the House of Culture, sung verses of social lyrics by the popular poet of the town of Las Breñas, Víctor Fernández Gopar El Salinero, and a wide repertoire of Canarian and Latin American music were heard, intermingled with the narrated description of the landscape of Yaiza's towns, the work of its people linked to the primary sector, the exploitation of salt in Janubio and other hallmarks of southern Lanzarote, thus fulfilling the purpose of the concert to value the culture and heritage of Yaiza, captivated by art.
