Los Sabandeños: Guardians of Canarian Music
While strolling around Tenerife we crossed paths with Los Sabandeños a folk musical group on their way to a festival. Tenerife’s folk music, part of a broader Canarian tradition, blends indigenous Guanche heritage with Spanish and African influences, featuring unique instruments like the timple (a five-stringed instrument), guitars, and flautas de pico. Key dances and songs include the lively Isas, soulful Folías, and ritualistic Tajaraste, often performed with castanets and drums at local festivals The famous group Los Sabandeños works at preserving Canarian music by preforming this rich cultural sound.
