Today at 6:00 p.m., the Fairgrounds will host the Election Gala of the Children’s Queen of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival. Thirteen candidates are all set to compete for the coveted title this year. The Festival Councilor, Javier Caraballero, and the show director, Daniel Pages, have promised some surprises on stage, along with the joint participation of children’s murgas, choreographic groups, and troupes.
The hosts for the event will be Jorge, Sergio, Rafa, and Garrafa, who will play a role in the quest to find last year’s children’s queen. The storyline of the show will revolve around the search for her after she gets lost in the forest with her plane. The show will feature a segment in the style of Trancas y Barrancas, with puppets Rafa and Garrafa, designed by the same company that produces those for the TV show El Hormiguero. These puppets will take the audience on a journey through the most famous shows and programs in the history of television.
The appearance of the candidates will be divided into three segments. The Tropicana children’s troupe will introduce the first 5 candidates, followed by performances from Loli Pérez and Yu-Funk, after which the next 4 candidates will step forward. Finally, the last 4 candidates will be introduced, preceded by a performance from LS Tribu, the winner of the 2024 choreographic group competition.
The jury responsible for selecting the Children’s Queen and her 4 Ladies of Honor will consist of Pedro Raidel Remedios González, a plastic artist, painter, and creator; Antonio José Hernández Hernández, journalist and presenter of Televisión Canaria; Agustín Jesús Quintero Gutiérrez, a character from the Mad Hatter Carnival; Lucía Jerez Rodríguez, a theater actress; Sandra de la Rosa Pérez, a graduate in Fine Arts specializing in Design and a teacher; María Julia Castro González, president of the Santa Cruz Artisans Association, and Paula Hernández Hernández, a designer specializing in Carnival trophies.
Canarian Television will broadcast the show live throughout the Archipelago.
