New York artist Elvis Crespo will offer a unique concert in the Canary Islands on July 18 at the Tenerife Cook Music Fest, where he will perform his hit 'La Graciosa' alongside other salsa greats.
The merengue singer Elvis Crespo has confirmed his only performance in the Canary Archipelago for July 18. It will take place as part of the Tenerife Cook Music Fest, held in the port area of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The artist, globally known for hits like 'Suavemente', arrives with his current tour, which includes just one stop in the islands.
The concert is part of the Tropical Mood day, the last of the festival, dedicated to salsa, merengue, and the great anthems of the Caribbean. Alongside Crespo, Luis Enrique, Tito Nieves, Sergio Vargas, and Hermanos Rosario will perform, creating a luxury lineup for genre lovers.
An exclusive event in Santa Cruz de Tenerife
The festival runs for three days, from July 16 to 18, and is expected to gather over 100,000 attendees for its 2026 edition. The venue, covering 60,000 square meters by the sea, will feature a giant Ferris wheel, a trendy market, and a food area with more than twenty stalls blending Canary and international cuisine.
For the residents of Tenerife and the other islands, this is a unique opportunity to see live an artist who has influenced generations. The organisers have noticed an increase in ticket sales following the announcement of the exclusivity, with expectations that people from other islands will travel specifically to Santa Cruz to not miss the event.
The success of 'La Graciosa' and the connection with Quevedo
Elvis Crespo has returned to the forefront thanks to his collaboration with Canary artist Quevedo on the track 'La Graciosa', which has been number one in Spain this summer. The concert in Tenerife will be the chance to hear this hit live, alongside his classics like 'Suavemente'.
The artist will be accompanied by a band of more than a dozen musicians, promising a spectacular performance. The event is not only a musical attraction but also an economic boost for the area, which hopes to fill hotels and restaurants during that weekend.
For those who cannot attend, the festival has made day tickets available for the 18th, with prices ranging from 40 to 60 euros. It is recommended to purchase in advance, as capacity is limited and demand is high.
