48th Festival Sabandeño «¡Viva México!» with Cristina Ramos and Jorge de Leónverified
The Sabandeños festival reaches its forty-eighth edition and this year looks towards Mexico, with two heavyweight guests: Cristina Ramos and tenor Jorge de León. It is one of the longest-running dates of the Fiestas del Cristo, outdoors on Plaza del Cristo, with the La Laguna group that has been taking Canarian folk music beyond the islands since 1966.
On Friday 4 September 2026 at 21:00 Plaza del Cristo hosts the 48th Festival Sabandeño, this time under the title «¡Viva México!». It is one of the fixed and longest-running dates of the Fiestas del Cristo de La Laguna, and this year it leans on two heavyweight guests: Cristina Ramos and tenor Jorge de León.
Los Sabandeños are from La Laguna and have been taking Canarian folk music beyond the archipelago since 1966, so the festival is as much a local rite as a concert. It takes place outdoors on the square, with no admission price announced in the municipal programme. Anyone who wants a spot does well to arrive early: it is one of the best-attended acts of the whole week.
