Free live music in Las Palmas, January 2022

In the notice about the opening of the winter programme Cultura en acción, I read the following:

El acceso es gratuito <...> con la aplicación de las correspondientes medidas [d]e seguridad en atención a la situación sanitaria actual. Entre ellas la solicitud a la entrada del certificado COVID, el aforo limitado y el control de los espacios de separación entre los espectadores.

The similarity with the famous Monty Python sketch is uncanny:

Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms.

Oh well. Where were we?

  • 3 January: Xerach Peñate @ Palacete Rodríguez Quegles, calle Benito Pérez Galdós, 4, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
      Xerach Peñate (drums, vocals) with Belén Álvarez Doreste aka LAJALADA (keyboards, voice) and Alba Gil Aceytuno (alto sax).
  • 5 January: LAJALADA @ Palacete Rodríguez Quegles.
  • 15 January: «Piel con piel» @ Teatro Guiniguada, Plaza F. Mesa de León
      The Compañía Pieles presented Piel con piel, sort of “the greatest hits” from their shows Ángaro, Canto al trabajo and Tarasca. Featuring the dancers Daniel Morales and Paloma Hurtado.

  • 29 January: «Panamericana» @ Auditorio José Antonio Ramos, Parque Doramas
      The Canarian singer Marta Bolaños, accompanied by Shangó Dely (percussion), Misael Jordán (guitar, cuatro), César Martel (trumpet, flugelhorn, percussion, sea shell) and Tana Santana (double bass), took us on a musical journey across Latin America, performing the standards such as Fina estampa by Chabuca Granda, La vaca Mariposa by Simón Díaz and Una casita para ti by Rafael Brito. My personal favourites were Tonada de Luna Llena by Díaz (solo) and Barro Tal Vez by Luis Alberto Spinetta (duo with Tana Santana).

Looking forward to more free music in February.
