It was October 18, 1968 when the Pérez Galdós Theater premiered the song 'Maspalomas y Tú'. Néstor Álamo initially planned to call it only Maspalomas, but as fate would have it, the song, an anthem of all Gran Canarian people, added the second person singular, the You. Álamo maintained that it was to remember the families who saw their loved ones emigrate to America from the south of Gran Canaria. It was released with Los Sabandeños. The author of 'Sombras del Nublo', 'Pinar de Tamadaba' or 'Adiós Canaria querida' maintained that "Maspalomas was of indescribable beauty" and "that is why my love song inspired me, and hence its Havana air, for its tropical and pure flavor". Los Sabandeños premiered it as part of a tribute to the thinker and writer María Rosa Alonso, who returned to the Canary Islands from her self-imposed exile. It is a Havana, Néstor Álamo maintained, because it sells a tropical concept from the south of Gran Canaria.
