Enraizados: CajaCanarias opens its concert cycle in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

The Fundación CajaCanarias opens its new concert cycle Enraizados this Friday, 4 September 2026, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. According to the foundation, it consists of three acoustic concerts by Canarian artists, launched alongside the start of the 2026-2027 cultural season and described by the organisers themselves as an innovative bet on local talent.

The opening session brings three disciplines into one room: the musician Fajardo, the visual artist Cristina Reyes and the dancer Ian Garside. Here is what has been confirmed – and what the organisers have so far left open.

What Enraizados sets out to be

Enraizados is built as a cycle of three concerts in acoustic format, with Canarian artists at the centre. The Fundación CajaCanarias announced the series as part of its 2026-2027 season opening and presents it explicitly as support for talent from the islands.

The name carries the idea: "enraizados" is Spanish for "rooted". What is meant is programming that does not lean on big touring names from outside, but on voices that live and work in the archipelago. The acoustic format reinforces that – small line-ups, a small room, little technology between stage and audience.

The opening line-up: music, art and dance

The first session is not a straightforward concert. According to lagenda.org, Fajardo performs as the musician, while Cristina Reyes takes part as a visual artist: the room is to be transformed with original works of hers accompanying the musical performance. Contemporary dancer Ian Garside adds a live piece.

What is announced, then, is an acoustic concert with a live artistic intervention – music, image and movement in the same space, rather than one after another on a festival grid. The available sources give no details on the running order, the setlist or the length of the evening.

Who is on stage

Of Fajardo, the Fundación CajaCanarias says he comes from Fuerteventura and lives in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria; it highlights the depth of his voice and the authenticity of his lyrics, and speaks of an outstanding career. The sources consulted give no further detail on his discography or repertoire.

Cristina Reyes is listed as a visual artist and was a finalist for the Premio CajaCanarias Manolo Millares 2025. According to the same information, she lived in London between 2004 and 2024 and opened her first solo show in the Canary Islands in 2025. Ian Garside appears in the announcement as a contemporary dancer. Nothing more about the three participants is available in the published notices, and we deliberately add nothing here.

Venue, time and admission

The opening concert takes place, according to lagenda.org, on Friday 4 September 2026 at 19:00 in the Sala de Conferencias of the Espacio Cultural CajaCanarias in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Entry is not free: a symbolic price of 5 euros is quoted, with tickets sold through the CajaCanarias website.

The Espacio Cultural sits in the centre of the island capital, within easy walking distance and served by city buses. The conference hall is a comparatively small room, so anyone who wants to be sure of getting in should buy online in advance rather than count on the door.

The wider frame: the foundation's cultural autumn

Enraizados is part of a larger autumn programme. The Fundación CajaCanarias presented its Otoño Cultural 2026 in July; for the Espacio Cultural CajaCanarias in Santa Cruz de La Palma, activities are scheduled between 18 September and 31 October. At the Espacio Cultural in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a concert by the band 091 is also on the calendar for 1 October 2026.

One point matters for planning: the other two Enraizados dates and their line-ups are not published in the sources consulted. So far, only 4 September is confirmed. Anyone hoping to follow the whole cycle will need to keep an eye on the foundation's agenda.

Practical note: With a 19:00 start on a Friday, it pays to arrive early – the Sala de Conferencias has no tiered boxes, and in small halls free seating usually means first come, best seat. And because the opening session also has dance and visual art components, sightlines matter more here than at a straight concert.

Worth watching: The full Enraizados programme has not yet been made public. Times, prices and line-ups may change; the details gathered here come from Fundación CajaCanarias announcements and from lagenda.org. Check the official agenda at cajacanarias.com before setting out.
