Vocal Sampling are giving a concert at the Auditorio de Adeje, featuring their all-vocal music, in which the voices also take on the roles of bass, congas and wind instruments. This guest performance marks the Cuban group's return to the Canary Islands after many years. The evening is aimed at fans of jazz, classical music and world music.
Vocal Sampling has been around for three decades and is regarded as one of Cuba's most original vocal ensembles. In 2026, the group will still be performing on stage, recording and introducing new generations to their own vision of vocal music.
This unique approach takes centre stage at the concert in Adeje. According to the programme notes, after the first few minutes the technique fades into the background, as the audience ceases to think about how the bass, congas or brass sections are produced using only voices. The concert is thus described as a live experience in which the ensemble's sound takes centre stage.
In 2026, Vocal Sampling once again performed at the Festival Internacional Jazz Plaza in Cuba. There, the group combined their performances with educational sessions exploring the possibilities of the voice as an instrument. Online bookings are available for the concert in Adeje. Admission costs 12 euros.
