Baile de Taifa y Candil de Pedro Álvarezverified
Festivals & Pilgrimages
A baile de taifa and candil in Pedro Álvarez: string music by oil-lamp light, no amplification, danced the old way.
The baile de taifa is the oldest form of Canarian dance party: couples take turns in a small space, with live string music and no amplification. The candil adds oil-lamp lighting, as it was before electric light.
It is an intimate and very local occasion. Anyone who comes willing to watch and pick up the steps will be made welcome.
