San Bartolomé, between isas and folías

The interpretations were interrupted by applause on several occasions. The soloists from groups such as Guanapay de Teguise, Parranda de Las Breñas, Malpais de la Corona de Haria, La Peña de Mozaga and Tahod de San Bartolomé conquered the public.

Once this first part was finished, the young Patricia Acosta accompanied by Francis Perera, both from the municipality, took the stage, who dared to perform a Sorondongo in homage to José María Gil. Violin and guitar created an instrumental piece, from delicacy, that surrendered the public.

After these performances, the moment of recognition arrived. Pedro González Lino, founding member of the popular music group Los Gofiones de Gran Canaria, took the stage. A great singer and tenderetero who has been distinguished this year by the San Bartolomé City Council with the distinction "Reconocimiento Ajei".

It was the mayor of San Bartolomé, Marcial Martín, who was in charge of presenting him with the distinction, which consisted of a Canarian Pintadera. Pedro then took the floor, who thanked "such a worthy distinction", which made him receive a round of applause from the audience.

The night continued with the performance of the popular music group "El Pavón de Tías". Its 25 members encouraged the public for more than half an hour with a repertoire that lifted the attendees from their seats. There were those who could not avoid marking a dance. The public did not resist the temptation and continued asking the group for songs.

The act came to an end when the Councilor for Festivities, Áurea Mauri, took the stage to give a gift to the participants of the event that took place within the framework of festivities that are having a high rate of participation both from residents and visitors from various parts of the island.
