The La Riviera venue in Madrid hosted the first edition of the Canarias Tiene el Flow festival, an event that brought together various artists from the Archipelago to celebrate island music and culture.

The day became a meeting point for Canarian identity, where genres as diverse as urban music, rap, batucadas, and traditional folklore coexisted. The successful turnout, which sold out, allowed the audience to enjoy a representation of both emerging and established talent from the Canary Islands.
During the event, the mayor of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria highlighted the importance of supporting young creators through public institutions. According to the mayor, the goal is to foster a solid foundation that boosts the city's European cultural candidacy for the year 2031.

"There are no watertight compartments. The fusion between the new and the tradition is compatible."

The evening highlighted the cosmopolitan character of the Gran Canarian capital, defined by its representatives as an open and diverse city. The mix of musical styles, which included everything from contemporary sounds to traditional themes, was the central axis of a night that is already planning future editions as a showcase for regional talent outside the Archipelago.
