Quevedo Celebrates Canarian Roots in New Music Video Release
Spanish artist Quevedo has released a new music video for his tracks "Gáldar" and "Al Golpito," further cementing his commitment to Gran Canarian culture and his tradition of releasing music on July 7th.
Quevedo continues to make his regional identity the heart of his music, offering a perfect example of how local culture can drive a global career. The Gran Canaria artist once again chose July 7th—a date he considers lucky—to release a new music video featuring his tracks Gáldar and Al Golpito from his latest album, El Baifo.
This release is more than just a promotional tool; it cements the narrative Quevedo has built throughout his recent work, where Canarian folklore is no longer just a background detail, but the core of his aesthetic. The seven-minute video acts as a visual diary of northern Gran Canaria, showcasing rural life and the local banana industry. By collaborating with artists like Tonny Tun Tun and the group Nueva Línea, Quevedo highlights his deep commitment to his home’s cultural community.
The choice of July 7th is a long-standing tradition for the singer. The number seven has appeared throughout his life and career, from his birth date to the release of his viral session with Bizarrap and his hit single Columbia. Despite his recent uncertainty about whether he could keep the tradition alive after his album launch, he ultimately delivered, turning the date into a highly anticipated event for his fans.
With this latest project, the Las Palmas native proves he can manage his personal brand by blending his own private mythology with a proud celebration of his roots. In a global music market that increasingly values authenticity, Quevedo’s work stands out as a powerful statement of where he comes from.
