Mambisa to Perform Fusion Concert at CajaCanarias Foundation This Friday
The CajaCanarias Foundation hosts an all-female musical group, Mambisa, this Friday in Santa Cruz de Tenerife for a performance blending traditional Canarian folk rhythms with Afro-Cuban and flamenco influences.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s cultural scene gets a boost this Friday with the latest event in the "Spring at the Foundation" series, hosted by the CajaCanarias Foundation. The performance begins at 8:00 p.m. at the foundation’s Cultural Space in the capital and features Mambisa, an all-female group known for blending diverse musical traditions.
The performance is notable for how it bridges the gap between the Canary Islands' folk heritage and Afro-Cuban and flamenco rhythms. The group uses a unique mix of instruments, combining traditional Canarian percussion—such as chácaras and drums from El Hierro and La Gomera—with Caribbean instruments like batá drums and tumbadoras. This musical fusion aims to honor the islands' roots while offering a modern take on local identity, showing that cultural history is always evolving.
Tickets and full program details are available on the official CajaCanarias website. This event is part of a broader effort by banking foundations to support the performing arts, which play an increasingly important role in bringing communities together and promoting live culture across Spain.
