Free live music in Las Palmas, July 2025

This is what we’ve seen this month.

  • 2 July: Carlos Meneses Quartet «Collabs» @ Palacete Rodríguez Quegles, Calle Benito Pérez Galdós, 4, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
      Yul Ballesteros (guitar), Dani González (drums), Carlos Meneses (double bass) and Kike Perdomo (saxophones).

  • 3 July: Barrios Orquestados @ Biblioteca Pública Municipal Josefina de la Torre, Paseo de las Canteras
      Nice to see Barrios Orquestados still alive and getting stronger.

  • 5 July: Sofar concert @ Biblioteca Pública del Estado, Calle Muelle de Las Palmas
      With Salomé Moreno, Manu Echeva and Said Muti.
  • 10 July: «Personajes de la historia» @ Plaza del Pilar Nuevo

  • 11 July: Andrea Báez @ Casa de Colón, Calle Colón, 1
      Canarian cantautora presenting songs from her forthcoming album.

  • 15 July: El Afecto Ilustrado «Britannia. Inglaterra 1650» @ Casa de Colón

  • 16 July: Krzysztof Kobyliński @ Casa de Colón

  • 24 July: Joven CanariJazz Big Band & Zuco 103 @ Plaza de Santa Ana
      Joven CanariJazz Big Band led by José Vera Bello, featuring vocalists María Zerpa, Gabriela Suárez, Vanesa Lemoine and Carlota Baldó, plus guest Rayko León on piano. Zuco 103 sounded interesting but as they started later than (I) expected, I didn’t stay for long.
  • 25 July: Kennedy Administration & Patax @ Plaza de Santa Ana
      It was great to see Patax once again — nine years later! — at Plaza de Santa Ana. As for Kennedy Administration: I loved the band sound but find the singer (named Kennedy) overly intrusive.
  • 26 July: «Versalles en Las Palmas» @ Casa de Colón
      Vocal and instrumental compositions of French Baroque, as could have been heard at the royal court of Versailles. Performed by the teachers of the 3rd International Course of Early Music (III Curso Internacional de Música Antigua en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 21—25 July 2025): Olalla Alemán (soprano), Patricia Robaina (harpsichord) and María Alejandra Saturno (viola da gamba). The programme included:

  • 26 July: Luis Sánchez Quintet @ Plaza de Santa Ana
      Later the same evening: Luis Sánchez (piano) with José Vera Bello (sax), Gaspar Nogales (double bass), Rubén Bueno (drums) and Kervin Barreto (trumpet).

And that was it for July.
