The viral phenomenon of Bad Bunny's 'La Casita' inspires a Canarian version: the 'cuartito de aperos', an imaginary VIP space for island celebrities.

Content creator Álvaro Luis Hernández has brought the popular 'Casita' of Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny to the microphones of Radio Club SER, adapting it to the Canarian imagination with the concept of the 'cuartito de aperos' (tool shed). The premise is simple: to imagine which celebrities from the Canary Islands would have access to this reserved space, but with a rural and local touch.
Bad Bunny's 'Casita' has become a prominent feature of his concerts, a privileged spot where known guests and celebrities gather, generating significant viral and media impact. Cameras focus on this area, making each appearance a parallel event to the show itself.
Álvaro Luis Hernández's proposal translates this idea into the Canarian context using the image of the 'cuartito de aperos', a traditional agricultural structure for storing tools. In the Canary Islands, this term also evokes informal gatherings, impromptu meals, and a sense of everyday humor, transforming any corner into a meeting point.
The selection of names for this hypothetical 'cuartito de aperos' for Quevedo is based not just on fame, but on being a Canarian icon. The list mixes figures from popular music, politics, television, social media, sports, humor, and business. Among the proposed names are Pepe Benavente, K-Narias, Rosa Dávila, Fernando Clavijo, Alejandro Tosco, Juan Carlos Castañeda Baute, Miguel Daswani, Ceci Wallace, Mel Omana, and even Fred. Olsen Express.
This selection aims for contrast and representation of the Canarian social fabric, bringing together festival artists, institutional figures, communicators, and digital creators. The idea is to offer a fun vision of a VIP area with an 'island designation of origin', prioritizing local authenticity over international posturing.
