This concert, under the heading of “D’Canarios” will take place on Saturday ((21.00 hours, public square – Plaza Europa). The stellar closing concert will be held on Sunday featuring two US groups, but with distinctive styles. On the one hand, the rhythm & blues of King Solomon Hicks, and on the other, the Afro-Cuban Funk of Palo! (Sunday, same time & place). + INFO
