Luisa Machado and Alberto Méndez to Perform at La Matanza Autumn Festival

Tenerife’s cultural calendar gets a boost this Saturday, November 7, as part of the Autumn 2026 Festival. The Municipal Auditorium in La Matanza de Acentejo will host Solo de dos at 8:30 p.m., a performance featuring musicians Luisa Machado and Alberto "Naranjita" Méndez.

This recital celebrates the long careers of both artists, who have been staples of the Canary Islands' music scene since the 1970s. Their show goes beyond a typical concert, blending original songs with fresh takes on classic tracks from local, national, and Latin American composers. The duo has a rich history together, having performed with iconic island groups like Taburiente, Ait Nahaya, and Mambisa, and they remain deeply involved in social projects like Barrios Orquestados.

The performance highlights the chemistry between Machado’s vocals and Méndez’s guitar and bass work, showcasing the artistic maturity they have built through decades of collaboration on projects like Conocidos íntimos and Mujeres en sus voces y su música.

Tickets are available online at Tomaticket.es or in person at the local Municipal Sports Complex. By hosting established artists like Machado and Méndez, the festival continues to use municipal venues to preserve and celebrate the evolution of Canarian music, offering audiences an intimate look at the legacy of the islands' singer-songwriter tradition.
