Concerts
1. Los Sabandeños sing to Africa (18/07/2017)
The group Los Sabandeños started their musical activities in 1966 and have focused on the recovery and promotion of the traditional music of the Canary Islands, to which they have added original songs and adaptations of musical pieces from the entire Hispanic cultural tradition. They have released more than 70 albums and have played innumerable times in concerts in Europe and America. Los Sabandeños are by far the most internationally recognized music group in the Canary Islands.
2. African Music (21/07/2018)
Cape Verdean music is very popular and valued worldwide due to its suggestive rhythms and warm melodies. The presence of a large Senegalese community in the Canary Islands and of migrants from other African countries makes it possible to enjoy the rhythms and messages of their attractive music.
CampusAFRICA will offer a platform for the promotion of African musicians resident in the Canary Islands.
