Sara Socas to Debut New Musical Direction at Taganana Festival

The Canary Islands' cultural calendar gets a major boost this weekend with the seventh annual Taganana Festival. The event, held between San Andrés and Taganana, will feature a headline performance by Tenerife-born artist Sara Socas, who is set to debut a fresh musical direction backed by an all-female band.

Socas’s appearance in the Anaga region marks a significant turning point in her career. As she works on her second studio album, the artist is moving beyond her roots in freestyle rap to establish herself as a songwriter. This shift reflects her desire for creative maturity and the freedom to explore new genres, away from the fast-paced demands of the modern music industry.

The festival, which aims to bring high-quality culture to rural areas rather than just major cities, aligns perfectly with Socas’s belief in democratizing the arts. For the singer, this concert is a meaningful homecoming, carrying an emotional weight that sets it apart from her international tour dates.

While she is evolving as a songwriter, Socas remains deeply connected to improvisation, viewing it as a vital tool for her growth. She is also keeping her competitive edge sharp, with her sights set on the Red Bull national final in Tenerife in March 2027. Balancing introspective songwriting with the technical rigor of freestyle, Socas is carving out a more complex and diverse path after making her mark in a historically male-dominated industry.
