After the Three Kings parade, you could enjoy a high-level concert called "Encanto" in the heart of Arrecife in La Plazuela, by the musical group Bohemia directed by Juanma Padrón, where the protagonists were the little ones. The group surprised with each of the songs they performed, some of them belonging to Disney classics intertwined with the most current pop themes and surrounded in the choirs by the voices of the Bohemia components.
On a night where the little ones are the protagonists, Bohemia also gave them the opportunity to go on stage to sing before the large crowd that completely filled the space allocated by the organization. Eliezer Betancort performed the theme of the singer Sebastián Yatra, "Cómo mirarte", then Virginia Cedrés performed the song from the movie The Wizard of Oz, "La Rosa de los Vientos", Paola Lira performed the song that made the singer Rocío Dúrcal very popular titled "La gata bajo la Lluvia", Marianela González "Todo se puede Lograr", Lucía Sánchez performed one of the songs that has given the singer Luz Casal so much success titled "Piensa en mi" and Diego Sánchez performed the theme from the movie "The Jungle Book", "I Want to Be Like You".
For this first musical event of the year, Bohemia prepared with great enthusiasm for the young promises to give their best, some of them going on stage for the first time. The voices of the most established soloists who are part of Bohemia, such as Pedro César Pérez, Davinia Páez, Adrián Reyes, Andrea, Izan Ortega and the director and musical arranger Juanma Padrón, also joined. On such a special day, carols could not be missing, including the one titled, Navidad Guanche. The public at all times supported each of the performers with their applause.
Once again, the situation of previous years was repeated when choosing La Plazuela to celebrate a concert on the eve of Reyes where so many thousands of people gather in the capital of Lanzarote. At the end of the parade, getting to La Plazuela was a real ordeal, the streets (corridors), such as Amigos de Portonao, Luis Tres Guerras and Carnicería, popularly known as Callejón Liso, were completely collapsed and the space where the stage was located was completely blocked, preventing many citizens from moving from one place to another on a night where they are making the last purchases. Another complaint was related to the few chairs intended for the public, a total of 70 which were occupied before the parade ended. On a night like this, you have to find a much larger location where everyone who wants to can enjoy the scheduled concert.
