That’s what we’ve seem this month:
- 18 January — 5 March: Nikola Tesla. El genio de la electricidad moderna @ Parque de San Telmo, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
- The first exhibition in Spain to bear the official seal of the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade.
- 5 February: Intervención arqueológica en el Solar Norte de la Catedral de Canarias, Plaza de Santa Ana
- A guided tour organised by Cabildo de Gran Canaria.
- 12 February: Infante/Lemes/Colina Trio @ Palacete Rodríguez Quegles, Calle Benito Pérez Galdós, 4
- Javier Colina (double bass, accordion), Javier Infante (guitar) and Alexis Lemes (timple). The programme included material from the trio’s debut album Guiguan.
- 15 February: «Agüita fresca: Entre salsa y boleros» @ Auditorio José Antonio Ramos, Parque Doramas
- All-star band featuring Magdalena Padilla (vocals), Yuniel Rascón (guitar, tres), Fofi Lusson (bass) and Totó Noriega (percussion). Still, I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed. “Between salsa and boleros”, I didn’t hear a single salsa. Sure, Bésame mucho, Guantanamera and Quizás, quizás, quizás are all perennial classics... that were played, covered and re-covered ad nauseam. Look, there are thousands of fantastic and equally catchy Latin songs, why not trying something new. Agüita fresca? I’d say agua estancada.
- 11 February — 16 March: «Macaronesia 1975—2025» @ Casa de Colón, Calle Colón, 1
- The last 50 years of Macaronesian history in 146 photos. Organised by FEDAC and Memoria digital de Lanzarote.
- 20 February: «Pasión y ritmo» @ Plaza del Pilar Nuevo
- Now, that was one helluva concert! La Banda Sinfónica Municipal de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria went big-band mode with standards such as At the Mambo Inn, Hot House and Soul Bossa Nova. Conductor: Juan Roda Sapiña. The line-up and full programme are available here.
And that was it for February.
