Colombian artist Kapo gathered thousands of fans at the José Vélez Auditorium in Telde, in one of the most crowded musical nights of the summer in Gran Canaria.
The José Vélez Auditorium, located in the San Juan urban park of Telde, became the epicentre of urban music this Saturday with Kapo's performance, one of the most prominent names in Latin afrobeat. Thousands packed the venue to enjoy a concert that is part of the Colombian artist's international tour in 2026.
Hours before the show began, the audience started to gather around the auditorium. Among the attendees, many fans arrived from different municipalities in Gran Canaria, as well as from other islands in the archipelago, drawn by the chance to see live an artist who has millions of streams on digital platforms.
The anticipation turned into a standing ovation when Kapo appeared on stage. During his performance, the singer revisited some of the tracks that have propelled him to fame, such as ‘Ohnana’ and ‘Uwaie’, both of which have made a significant impact on the charts. He also performed songs from his latest album, Por si alguien nos escucha, a project that fuses African rhythms, reggaeton, and urban pop.
The staging, with careful lighting and high-quality sound, accompanied a performance where energy and choreography set the pace. The audience sang along to much of the repertoire, turning the venue into a large collective party that lasted until nearly midnight.
The concert was organised by the production company DN7 Music, led by David Navarro, in collaboration with the Telde City Council. This company has invested in recent years to bring top-level artists, both national and international, to the city, consolidating the municipality as a reference in Gran Canaria's musical offerings.
The full house recorded at Kapo's performance represents a new boost for Telde's cultural programming. The massive public response reinforces the position of the José Vélez Auditorium as a venue ready to host major shows, and places the city as a solid alternative within the Canary concert circuit.
For the residents of Telde and the island, such events not only provide a quality leisure option but also stimulate the local economy, with the influx of visitors taking the opportunity to dine and shop in the area. The collaboration between the private sector and the Telde council is shaping up as a model to continue attracting major music figures.
Kapo, whose real name is Juan David Castaño, has become one of the most relevant exponents of Latin urban music. His style, which draws from African and Caribbean influences, has connected with a young and diverse audience, and his visit to Telde has left an indelible mark among his Canary fans.
Saturday night will be remembered by attendees as a historic date for music in the city. With an eye on future editions, Telde is establishing itself as an essential destination for major tours that traverse the islands.
