On Saturday it will be the turn of the 'King of Salsa', where Marc Anthony returns to the Canary Islands to review his extensive musical career. Those attending will also be able to enjoy the talent of the Canaries and the Canary Islands with Las K-Narias, pioneers of reggaeton on the islands, Nia, winner of Operación Triunfo 2020, Laura Low and the duo Macaca Radiata.
