Artistic vision
“The sublime art of listening”
Guiguan Project describes its approach as a musical language that blends island roots, jazz, and contemporary sounds. Their repertoire features traditional pieces such as “Sorondongo,” “Tanganillo,” “Folías Conejeras,” and “Jameos,” alongside original compositions like “Guiguan,” all performed in dialogue with the guest artist.
Collaboration with Markus Stockhausen
Markus Stockhausen, a leading figure in the European jazz scene, adds an international dimension to the project. The German musician is renowned for his work in improvisation and contemporary creation, and has earned prestigious awards including the German Jazz Prize and the Echo Jazz.
The tour promises a unique fusion of tradition and modernity, offering audiences across the Canary Islands a fresh listening experience anchored in the rich heritage of the timple.
