The Doña Chana Cultural Park will host on Saturday, starting at 9:00 p.m., the XVIII Baile del Candil, by the Támbara Folkloric Group, of the El Canario Cultural Union. The group, with the collaboration of the Villero City Council, has organized this festival since 2005 with the aim of bringing together lovers of the archipelago’s traditions around the lamp, which will preside over the stage, according to the Consistory.
They also have the Támbara Folklore School, which offers children and adults training in traditional dances and instruments (guitar and timple). The activity takes place in the Casa de la Cultura San Agustín, “classes being taught on Saturday afternoons,” they highlight from the Orotavense City Council.
In this XVIII edition of the oil lamp dance you can enjoy the performance of outstanding folk groups from the North of Tenerife, with whom you can dance to the rhythm of their music and share and enjoy this celebration in the same way that it was done before the global pandemic. More in detail, this year the folk groups Acorán (Los Realejos), Chisaje (Tejina-La Laguna), Echeyde Valle Verde (Los Realejos) and Támbara (La Orotava) will be on stage at the Cultural Park. “In recent years, the festival has brought together outstanding groups from the panorama of traditional and popular music in the Canary Islands,” says the press release.
Admission is free and free to the general public. However, from the organization it is requested that those who are going to participate in the traditional dances are dressed in typical or traditional costumes. The festival can also be followed live on the City Council’s social networks.
