'Tenderete' pays tribute to the 75 years of Choirs and Dances of Ingenuity

The Spanish Television program 'Tenderete' in the Canary Islands filmed a special in the Plaza de la Candelaria in Ingenio on November 8th, featuring the Coros y Danzas de Ingenio Folk Group . This tribute was part of the group's 75th anniversary celebration, a group recognized for its outstanding work in preserving the musical heritage of the Canary Islands.

 

 

 

The group, directed by David Castellano, has a repertoire that includes traditional pieces such as the 'Polka del Capotín', the 'Isa de la Paría' and the 'Canario', accompanied by their children's group. In addition, the Parranda Tendereteros de Juanse participates, together with the soloists Jesús Monzón, Laura Santana, Luzmila Valerón and José Alberto Hernández. The event is sponsored by the Department of Culture of the City Council of Ingenio, recognizing the contribution of 'Tenderete' to the legacy of the folklorist Nanino Díaz Cutillas.

 

Coros y Danzas de Ingenio, awarded this year with the Gold Medal of the Canary Islands and the Medal of the ULPGC, continues to be a benchmark in the recovery and dissemination of the island's musical tradition. This special edition of 'Tenderete' highlights not only its 75-year history, but also its essential role in keeping the musical memory of Gran Canaria alive.
