The screening of an audiovisual where the most outstanding aspects of the life of "Acatife" were collected gave way to the beginning of the concert, under the title "25 years in two hours". The chords of the folk group began to sound with the interpretation of a selection of songs by soloists and musicians who have passed through the group in the various eras of the same. Many of the former members traveled expressly to Lanzarote to participate in the evening. Thus, the concert ended with a song in which all the members who have shared the stage in these 25 years participated jointly.
Sergio Cabrera, Ciro Corujo, Antonio María Perdomo, Pedro César Pérez, Juan Carlos Tabares, Nicolás Ventura, Melo Hernández and Chicho Fuentes participated as guest soloists. During the night they played some of the songs from the album they intend to record and present in 2009, as well as the rest of the already released albums: Cruz del mar (1986); Peñas del Chache (1991); Acatife sings Christmas (1993); Cantos de Lanzarote (1995); Christmas in a place in the Atlantic (1996) and El diablo de Timanfaya (1996).
