The mayor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, José Manuel Bermúdez, presided over this Friday the opening ceremony of the city’s Carnival that took place in the Tenerife Fairgrounds. The event was conducted by the presenter Elvis Sanfiel, accompanied by the current Carnival queens, who gave way to the current candidates for Carnival queen in the three modalities to collect the numbers that give them their starting position in the three contests.
In a show in which different Carnival groups participated, characters and artists known to the general public such as Míriam Reyes, Anaé or Pepe Benavente, the emotional moment of the show was, without a doubt, the tribute that the Carnival groups wanted to pay to Geni Afonso who, as the plaque they gave him said, is an icon of Carnival, which has always been present in that part of the Carnival that is not usually known by the general public. Dancer, choreographer, director of galas, Afonso assured that all her life she has done the Carnival “with love, because it is what I like the most in this life”.
The first of the appointments will take place on June 10, at 9:30 p.m., with the Election Gala of the Queen of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The candidates presented themselves to the public surrounded by the interpretation of the talented Jess Fraser who, located on the stage provocateur, surrounded by glass pearl screens and accompanied by a grand piano, took the public to the pocket interpreting the theme Easy On Me of Adele.
