Live music and stuff in Las Palmas and Santander, October 2023

The first half of October I was doing a course in the afternoon, so missed all the events in Las Palmas — except one, and only thanks to a public holiday.

• 12 October: Masdanza Showcase @ Museo Castillo de Mata, Calle Domingo Guerra del Río, 147, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
  Five modern dance performances:

  Acerina Toledo (creator and dancers), Lanzarote: Flores Negras Michela Priuli (creator), Barbara Allegrezza & Nicolò Castagni (dancers), Milan: Roots Arnau Pérez de la Fuente (creator and dancer), Barcelona: Single Fairul Zahid (creator), Evangeline Koo & Tay Mei Xuan Jocelyn (dancers), Singapore: Sopan Cecilia Bartolino & Carlos Aller (creators and dancers), Berlin: Saudade de Ti

Forward to Santander. The death of Vicente González Marcos, better known as Marcos Rvbicón, on 26 May of this year, left a gaping hole in the city’s music scene. Rvbicón has been closed ever since. I didn’t go to any jazz concert this month, not that there were many.

• 15 October: Mira cómo me siento @ Paraninfo de Las Llamas de la Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP), Avenida de los Castros, 42, Santander
  Written and directed by Juan Carlos Martínez de La Fuente and performed by Irónico Teatro (Gijón, Asturias), Mira cómo me siento was the only play of the 13^th Festival de Teatro Amateur that I was able to see this year. Featuring Juan Carlos Martínez de La Fuente, Ana García, Marta Sureda, Verónica Araoz, Cristina Fernández, Virginia Herrero, Marisa F. Melcón, Nona de Pedro, Orlando Piñera and Isabel Cuéllar.

• 21 October: Ines Pardo Rivas & Roots Syndicate @ Biblioteca Central de Cantabria, Calle Ruiz de Alda, 19
  Cantabrian reggae!

  

• 29 October: La Caja del Fuego @ Albarrio Bar, Calle Juan José Pérez del Molino, 30 Bajo
  A dynamic duo from Mendoza, Argentina, plus some musicians who happened to be there during the lunchtime.

• 30 October: Sara Correia @ Teatro CASYC, Calle Tantín, 25
  Beautiful new fado by Sara Correia accompanied by Diogo Clemente (Spanish guitar), Ângelo Freire (Portuguese guitar) and Frederico Gato (bass guitar). A completely unplugged encore was the cherry on top. A part of the cycle Excéntricos 2023.

  

All performances I attended were free except the concert of Sara Correia (€5), which is practically free. Happy Halloween Everybody!
