- The soloist's concert will take place on May 9 in two sessions, at 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., with free entry upon registration at the Museum and Archaeological Park located in Gáldar.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, May 6, 2025.- The Cueva Pintada de Gáldar Museum and Archaeological Park hosts the 'Cueva Pintada at Night' activity on May 9, which will include a performance by the Gran Canarian singer Sylvie Herández and which is also seen as a solidarity proposal promoted for the benefit of the Las Palmas Food Bank. The initiative will consist of two passes, the first at 8:00 p.m. and the second at 9:00 p.m.
Sylvie Hernández will be accompanied in her performance by the musicians Ner Suárez (guitar, Cuban tres and Venezuelan cuatro) and Pablo Quintana (seven-string guitar and percussion). The proposal includes a night tour through the archaeological site of Cueva Pintada, with the purpose of bringing the public closer to the aboriginal past of Gran Canaria, enlivened by the songs of Hernández.
Furthermore, it is a unique opportunity to listen to instruments of Latin American origin, such as the Cuban tres and the Venezuelan cuatro, in fusion with the seven-string guitar, more used in genres such as metal. However, the combination of these instruments with the music of Sylvie Hernández results in a melodic and comforting work for the senses.
This activity is free and registration is now available, and can be done from Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 14:00, by calling 928 895 489 (ext.3).
Sylvie Hernandez
Sylvie Hernández is a singer, composer and doctor in Literary Studies from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. In 2022, after publishing her first singles, she was awarded the Alberto Delgado Young Music Prize, a competition in which, two years later, she would participate as a jury.
In February 2023, Hernández published her debut album, 'Magua', in which she explores topics such as immigration, Canarian identity or the situation of women, with nostalgia as a common thread. On a sonic level, the musical production of the album evokes its clear influences from folklore and Latin American popular songs. The instrumentation contributes to mixing the tradition of different corners of the Latin American continent with that of our islands, subtly enveloping the message of Hernández's songs.
After that release, she burst onto the Canary Islands music scene as one of the young artists who gives voice to the new reality of the author's song, mixed with Latin American folk and alternative pop. Since then, she has been embarking on the composition of a new musical work, which she combines with commissions for film and television.
His music has been heard on platforms such as Spotify or YouTube, media that have helped his songs reach other places, especially Spanish-speaking countries such as Argentina, Mexico or Chile. Sylvie finds inspiration in everything around her and draws a lot from literature, cinema and painting. Although his is a roots music, he tries to make the sounds fresh and current. Until now, it has been enjoyed as a duo and trio, accompanied by instruments such as the guitar, the Cuban tres or the accordion.
