Mayor Marco Aurelio Pérez highlighted above all the location of this festival, “in a different place, on San Agustín Beach, which becomes the beach of soul. We are facing a cultural reference and it is celebrated on a time when everyone goes on vacation to our municipality, in search of our beaches and our cultural offer, which is complemented by the programming of this magnificent festival and its entire cast. of international stars.”
The director of the Maspalomas Costa Canaria Soul Festival, Dania Dévora, valued “the commitment” that the signing of this agreement with Canarian Television represents, especially because “it is a sign of continuity.

Dévora also advised music and culture lovers that "they cannot miss this event, there are more than 30 hours of music, 15 international artists, but also top national and local artists."
The Maspalomas Costa Canaria Soul Festival consists of three days, two nights of music by the singer Wendy Moten or the artists Jonathan Ellison, Jerome Chism and Gerald Richardson, leaders of contemporary African-American music. On stage, these four privileged voices will be accompanied by the prestigious Memphis Music Hall of Fame Band, which will debut on the Gran Canaria coast, a formation that represents the sound of the great soul artists. In their performances on Friday and Saturday they will also feature three other artists: Shunta Mosby, Dani McGhee and Candy Fox.
