As the program’s closing, on September 12 at 20:00, the Centro Cultural de la Villa will be the stage for the concert Maridaje, a show led by timplists from different generations who will establish a musical dialogue between tradition and modernity, accompanied at the piano by Augusto Báez. Participants: Germán López, Augusto Báez, David Díaz and Ana Falcón. Collaboration with the Concejalía de Cultura of the Ayuntamiento de Santa Brígida, in line with strategic lines promoted by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria for the promotion of culture and insular identity.
