The Hakuna Matata spirit, that of 'live and be happy', inspiring the movie The Lion King, infected the more than seven hundred spectators who this Saturday enjoyed in the town of Uga the concert of Jóvenes Cantadores offered by the City Council of Yaiza to close with a flourish the Christmas program and head towards the Three Kings parades on January 5 in Yaiza and Playa Blanca. Musical hits from the Disney universe filled the night of Uga with magic, thrilling families who came from different parts of Lanzarote, completely devoted to a magical and surprising show.
The proposal of Jóvenes Cantadores is not only voices, musical arrangements and virtuous interpretation of instruments, which is already meritorious, it is staging, oral narration, dance, audiovisual recreation and transmission of memories and feelings, a substantial artistic cocktail that leaves a whole sea of emotions in almost two hours of performance,
The repertoire of what has become the show of this Christmas in the Canary Islands with twenty concerts in the Islands gives away emblematic songs carefully selected from 'children's' movies of the Disney factory that bear the seductive seal of Jóvenes Cantadores.
And while it is true that the title of the show is Hakuna Matata from the Lion King, on stage musical pieces from other Disney classics such as Beauty and the Beast, 101 Dalmatians, The Jungle Book, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Frozen and Mary Poppins, among other films from several decades that will never go out of style, are recreated.
Disney is a creative factory of movies and characters that over time remain young for all generations. Their animation never tires of captivating children and adults and Jóvenes Cantadores has been able to interpret the concept to bring it to the stage with a predominance of music. The group presented themselves in Uga as Jóvenes Cantadores and said goodbye as Cantadores, the name they have decided to adopt from this January 1, 2020, yes, like Disney, keeping the memory alive between children and adults.
Twelve years of experience are harvested with a lot of work. The City Council of Yaiza, through the Department of Culture directed by Daniel Medina, thanks the vocalists and musicians of Jóvenes Cantadores for the quality of their show and the public for their fantastic response. The full house in the Uga tent and the final ovation are proof of this.
