The Canary Islands are once again on the map of national alternative music. More than a festival, LALA MUSIC consolidates itself as a professional market and urban showcase<\/strong> that connects local artists with programmers, press and national promoters.<\/p>\n\n And this 2026 comes with renewed ambition.<\/p>\n\n The heart of the project continues to be the Canary Islands Band Showcase<\/strong>, for which the registration period will remain open until March 15.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n From the proposals received, the projects that will be part of the official program will be selected. The process will be carried out by a team made up of professionals from the music sector and organizers of reference festivals. <\/p>\n\n LALA not only programs concerts: The opening day of Thursday, April 9 will feature Samantha Hudson<\/strong>, who will perform at Aguere Cultural<\/strong> presenting her third album M\u00fasica para Mu\u00f1ecas<\/em> (Subterfuge, 2025).<\/p>\n\n An album that consolidates its identity as a queer icon of generation Z, combining:<\/p>\n\n In this work, Samantha addresses issues such as impostor syndrome, gender dysphoria, failure and euphoria from a political and emotional point of view that connects with the contemporary European scene.<\/p>\n\n His references dialogue with artists like Charli XCX, Arca, SOPHIE or Lady Gaga, but also with emerging voices like Sevdaliza or Cobrah.<\/p>\n\n The concert will also feature the participation in showcase format of one of the selected projects from the Canary Islands.<\/p>\n\n A generational and territorial crossover that defines the essence of the festival.<\/p>\n\n On Friday, April 10, La Laguna will be transformed into an urban music route with eight showcases in different cultural spaces.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n This format turns the city into a live laboratory where:<\/p>\n\n Among the professionals expected to attend are representatives from festivals such as Sonidos L\u00edquidos, Phe Festival, LPA Beer & Music Festival or Arrecife en Vivo.<\/p>\n\n It’s not just programming. On Saturday morning, April 11, the Museum of History and Anthropology of La Laguna will host LALA PRO<\/strong>, a professional day with:<\/p>\n\n Aimed at artists, managers and cultural agents, the initiative seeks to strengthen the musical fabric of the Canary Islands from within.<\/p>\n\n Because artistic development also needs structure.<\/p>\n\n The closing will be in charge of Parquesvr<\/strong>, a band from Madrid that has managed to occupy its own territory between alternative rock, performance and viral culture.<\/p>\n\n Formed in 2017 and led by Javi Ferrara, the group has released three albums and is preparing the release of their fourth album Mitos y leyendas<\/em>, scheduled for late April.<\/p>\n\n Their sound is an unpredictable hybrid:<\/p>\n\n With lyrics that oscillate between ironic nihilism and generational reflection, Parquesvr has become one of the most singular bands in the Spanish alternative circuit.<\/p>\n\n At LALA MUSIC they will present live part of their new repertoire, including the recent singles Tonto<\/em>, Rizo de gitana<\/em>, Esto que vivimos<\/em> and Mi pe\u00f1a<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n A closing that promises electricity and attitude.<\/p>\n\n Organized by Phe Team and supported by Turismo Islas Canarias, the Government of the Canary Islands and the City Council of La Laguna, LALA MUSIC consolidates its role as an important event for the Canary Islands:<\/p>\n\n At a time when cultural decentralization is key, LALA shows that the Canarian scene not only exists: it evolves.<\/p>\n\n And she wants to be heard.<\/p>\n\n
