The concert is part of Tijarafe's Semana Cultural, which runs from 4 to 28 November. Through this event, the local council is honouring José Luis Lorenzo Barreto, known as Pepe Luis, the town's honorary son, who died young in 1999.
Pablo Rodríguez from the Canary Islands and Humberto Ríos from Cuba have been playing together since 2016. They met at the Codarts Conservatoire in Rotterdam. They are regarded as young, virtuoso musicians who develop their pieces drawing on influences from various world music traditions.
The Museo Etnográfico, named after Barreto, will also open its doors during the cultural week, as it does every year, with a changing display of traditional clothing. A selection from José Luis Lorenzo Barreto's book collection is on display at the Tijarafe municipal library.
