Carlos Baute to Discuss Canarian Roots on 'Mira quién viene a cenar'

This Friday at 11:15 p.m., the Canary Islands’ regional television station will feature singer Carlos Baute on its late-night show, Mira quién viene a cenar. Hosted by Rafa Méndez, the program aims to move past standard promotional interviews to explore the more intimate side of the internationally acclaimed musician.

The conversation will focus heavily on Baute’s personal connection to the islands. As a descendant of Canarian emigrants to Venezuela, Baute often speaks about how his family history has shaped his identity. The show will explore these roots, highlighting the artist's deep ties to the archipelago.

To keep the evening engaging, the program will feature a surprise appearance by local singer Haridian León. Additionally, chef Luna Zacharias will prepare a special menu designed to bridge the gap between the two sides of the Atlantic. The meal will blend traditional Venezuelan staples, such as arepas and plantains, with a creative twist on local pastries featuring curry-caramelized bananas.

By focusing on guests with historical ties to the region, Televisión Canaria continues to use personal interview formats to strengthen its connection with local viewers. These programs highlight the ongoing importance of the diaspora in shaping the islands' contemporary cultural identity.
