The verse speaker from Artenara, Yeray Rodríguez, conquered the audience that filled the Santo Domingo de Teguise convent this Thursday night.

Yeray Rodríguez is a torrent of words, to which he has dedicated his life studying language, teaching literature, analyzing meanings and listening to elders and children, from the experience that life gives and the spontaneity that innocence gives.

Performance of Yeray Rodríguez in Teguise

In his performance in Teguise, the verse speaker was accompanied by Fernando García (percussion) and Luz Mila Valerón (guitar and voice) and chose a repertoire with some Canarian touches intermingled by the "Cuban Points", a genre that Yeray masters to perfection and in which the public also participates including some phrases with which Yeray, with the mastery that characterizes him, makes a complete composition.

The Cuban Point is being strongly implemented in the Canary Islands and more and more learning schools are attended by children and young people interested in practicing this genre in which until now only men participated although women are also making it their own.
