Altavista ended its festivities in honor of San Antonio María Claret with a gala of "height" that was celebrated with a full house in the neighborhood's social hall.
At 8:00 p.m., with an audience ready to enjoy the last day of the festivities and with the usual punctuality, the first chords of the orchestra formed by five great professionals began to sound, who, one more night, once again left the bar very high accompanying the three singers winners of the II Edition of the Song Interpreters Festival "Mi Barrio Canta 2019", Ángela Luque, Gloría Esther Sepúlveda and Deseada Domínguez, who performed the winning songs of the contest
Next, the twelve members of the Rociero Choir Al-Andalus between Alisios and Levante took the stage, who, for thirty minutes, conquered the audience, showcasing the good humor that characterizes them and the joy they transmit in each of the songs
The invited singer Sandra Arco, who came from Jaen, was the next to take the stage. At just eight years old, she was already participating in karaoke, making the leap to television contests on the Andalucía TV channel, such as the famous 'Veo, Veo' or 'Se llama Copla', where she achieved great success that led her to participate in the 'La Voz' program on Telecinco. There she conquered the coaches, who were surprised when they heard her sing the famous song 'Se nos rompió el amor' that "the greatest", Rocio Jurado, once sang.
After that, a great door opened before her that has led her to tour all over Andalusia and, on this occasion, for the first time to sing in Lanzarote promoting her first album, 'Sentir', which was very well received among the audience attending the gala. Sandra Arco was accompanied on the piano by a great professional, the pianist and director of the orchestra of the programs 'Se llama Copla' and 'Original y Copla' on Andalucía TV, Josemi Alvárez.
Before ending the gala, Mari Carmen Santa Cruz addressed the public and very excitedly thanked them on behalf of all the colleagues who make up the board of directors for their participation in each of the events programmed in the festivities. Afterwards, the public was located on the frontis of the Neighborhood Association and to enjoy a spectacular fireworks display, which illuminated the Altavista neighborhood with colors.
