Once the winners of the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Murgas contest were known, they were informed of the date and they announced last Sunday the impossibility of going to Candelaria that day.
The party organizers then decided to celebrate a Murga Night with the participation of Trapaseros, Diablos Locos, Burlonas, Zeta Zetas and Mamelucos. However, both Diablos Locos and Zeta Zetas have confirmed that they will not attend either.
