The Cabildo, presided by María Dolores Corujo, introduced Melendi to the Mancha Blanca stage where he would go on to perform songs from his album “likes y Cicatrices”.
Melendi addressed the audience several times throughout the night to “thank them for the great welcome.”.
Corujo thanked the visitors for a night without incidents and the more than 150 security personnel who “gave their all to ensure that the evening was enjoyed without incident.”.
“Last night, Lanzarote lived a much-missed event after the pandemic. The end of the Los Dolores festival brought everyone together in a concert that we will not forget… thanks to Melendi for his professionalism. Lanzarote deserved a magical night.”.
The Mayor of Tinajo, Jesús Machín, added that last night was “never seen before. The queues of cars came from Tinajo to Arrecife.”.
