Olga Cerpa & Mestisay

Olga Cerpa and Mestisay bring one of the most unique creative adventures in popular music from the Canary Islands. For nearly four decades, they have been researching and interpreting the music and poetry of the Canary Islands, following the threads of Ibero, Latin and Lusophone-African influences, which are part of the interwoven history and cultures of the Macaronesian archipelago, which consists of the Canarian islands, Cape Verde, the Ilhas Selvagens, the Azores and Madeira. These 'Atlantic Connections' all come back in the music.

Olga Cerpa is considered the most relevant female voice in island music in recent decades. Nominated for two Latin Grammys, she has shared the stage with artists such as Omara Portuondo, Joan Manuel Serrat, Julio Pereira and Milladoiro.

Mestisay is one of the most popular bands in the Canary Islands. Mestisay collects multiple influences from Canarian musical roots, but also includes sounds from countries and communities related to the Canary Islands: Portuguese music, Bolero, the Mexican and Cuban film music of the 1940s and music from African countries that are geographically close near the Canary Islands.
