Dear Friends of Canarias online We continue to wander through the seven of the Canary Islands,
A special Christmas
now with Christmas Time in our hearts. We have prepared a special menu for this time of the year. Let’s start with the main protagonist: for us it is an honor to present one of the most important international tenors, Celso Albelo from Tenerife, of
32
whom we are very proud and who made room for us in his busy agenda to tell us all about his trajectory and professional future.
Nativity scenes
Also, we offer you ‘the feature of the features’, in which many of the people who have been represented our pages throughout all these months are united in a one article to share their Christmas plans with you. Pages full of theatrical and musical events, with personal growth and handmade projects… We promise you fantastic content that you can take advantage of. Furthermore, we have had the pleasure to interview one of the most important art Street artists in the world: 3TTMAN has left samples of his work in streets and exhibitions all around the world and he now lives in the Canary Islands. And we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Theatre Company Clownbaret, a referent in the Island world of clowning with a lot to offer. We complete the magazine with: the cliff of Masca, a tour of Nativity Scenes with the kids and the reports from our collaborator Domingo J. González, together with a recipe for Canarian ‘polvorones’ in the section ‘Potatoes and Sauce’. We hope you enjoy it from beginning to end.

culture
Goodbyes and Recognitions Culture in the Canary Islands went back to school this autumn with sad news: the death of the poet Arturo Maccanti brought us back abruptly from our holidays to the crudest reality. However, in these two months there has been time and space for much more. For energetic new events such as the Sitio Festival, for the return of established events such as Keroxen , and for those that are on their way to becoming established, such as the Galdar FIC or Tenerife Shorts. And also for recognition for Canarian creators outside our borders; it’s only fair to make space for them, too.

Celso Albelo The tenor from La Laguna tells us about his career in a very personal interview which he granted uAs from his second home in Italy, where he is enjoying his recent paternity. It was a pleasure to share this space in Canarias online with one of the greats who wears his Canary Island heart with pride. We hope you enjoy it.

is the root of the difficulty
because hitting a high note strongly at a certain point, we might say it is an “easy” way to appeal to the audience, but what actually often emerges are emotions, emotions conveyed by a certain manner of breathing, by a pause or by certain words in the text. That’s why I tell you that singing, finding the connexion with the sensation of emotional vibration in order to achieve this, and not only in singing but in any type of art in general, is truly complicated. That’s why art is not always easy. » How do you think the audience should approach your work so as to benefit most from your voice? That is a pretty delicate question.

A special Christmas‌ ‌ With those who have been part of Canarias online This feature has a special meaning for Canarias online. We want to thank all the people who have shared the pages of our magazine with us in one way or another, for their participation and for the trust they put into us to convey to you their work, their experiences and the different paths they follow. We asked them to tell us what special plans they have for Christmas and we have collected a huge variety of exciting experiences. We didn’t get news from all of them, but here you have what we did get. And those who did not include their plans are also in our hearts during the festive season. We are all a part of Canarias online.
Our theatre: Mari Carmen Sánchez Mari Carmen Sánchez shared with us, back in May, the pages of our main interview to talk about her professional trajectory and what it means to her to be an actress in one of the most successful series in Spanish television: Time between needlework. In this special feature she tells us what is she is going to do during these holiday: she has a Christmas project with Camino Viejo Producciones, Christmas Without Seeing You, that will bring her to Guiniguada Theatre in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (21st and 22nd November): “This Christmas music returns and with it, nostalgia, in a story written on Christmas postcards that travel from hand to hand and touch your heart. A mother who misses her child, a grandmother who is waiting to see her grandson, friends who hold a special place in our hearts and the eagerness to sit around a dinner table together to celebrate and makes toasts. Music is the best company for December nights, to celebrate the reunion, because this year will be different, there can’t be another Christmas without seeing you”.
Musical Premiere: Olga Cerpa, Mestisay She came to our pages with a beautiful project: ‘Looking for Valentina’. Now we asked her to share her plans for Christmas with us and she tells us how she intends to celebrate the coming of the New Year: “Although we usually hold a concert at Christmas, this year we have postponed it till the end of January, as we couldn’t find a good date over Christmastime in a Canary Island theatre; the only possibilities were too expensive. So we will see you in the Cuyas Theatre the 23th and 24th of January and in the Leal Theatre the 30th and 31st, if you’d like accompany us in the presentation of our new album, Lisboa Station. And here’s a a big kiss for all of those who created this magazine and for its readers.”

article Music and Changes: Bloko del Valle Bloko del Valle says goodbye to this year with smashing new: Drums for Coexistence extends its project to Cape Vert. “We traveled to Cabo Verde to prepare another group and spread out this project, which basically is a proposal for creation of percussion groups on the five continents, respecting the culture of each, but with some common bases that will allow them to join up at any place of the planet, to live together, get to know each other, learn from each other and play all together. We believe that any profound change has to start with children. If they know each other, all the cultural and religious differences, social conditions and race prejudices disappear and music is the closest and most immediate vehicle for that.” Doesn’t it sound great? Bloko del Valle’s project
starts this Christmas in Cape Vert with a group composed mainly of girls and with a clear objective:; their participation in the World Conference: “Uma Crianza, Un Cidadao” which will be held in November 2015 in Praia, Cape Vert to demand and give visibility to children’s rights.
Reggae canario: Ruths & La Isla Music This Canarian group will end this this year the same way they started, editing what is going to be their next single: It’s time to fight. This is the fourth single from their last LP, Everything is going to be fine: After You beat my Body, The ‘Manisero’ (peanut seller) and Everything is going to be fine. It’s time to fight speak of the interior force of all human beings in this time of darkness that seems to affect everything that surrounds us, finding support in family and those people who give us everything good in our lives. Together with this new single there’ll be a video clip developed by la Pecera Estudio that gives that visual touch to the music of Ruts & La Isla Music. More information in www.laislamusic.net
Ecological Style: What’s in a dress She tells us that this winter we are going to dream of summer. The fashion collection for the summer season is the main project to occupy these winter months. “We already have the fabrics! They are lovely ecological cotton with stripes (a summer classic)”. And the sketches are ready, although we will have to wait a bit to see them completed. “But we are also working on other projects. Christmastime is coming and we are preparing a workshop where we will use the nicest of the many remnants left from our clothing to make Christmas ornaments. We hope that our next projects will be as welcomed as our previous ones. We look forward eagerly to to sharing our news on Facebook as soon as possible”.
Artisan Style: Claudia Kuzweil The Claudia Kurzweil brand, joyas&diseño, after presenting its new 2015 spring-winter collection at the International Fashion and Complement Hall: MOMAD Metrópolis, Madrid in September, brings its new masculine line ‘Pour Hommes’ to Christmas. It’s adapted to the personal style of the brand, presenting elegant and refined pieces, combining the lightness of aluminium with materials such as ebony, oak, leather and semiprecious stones, applying design and textures in tie clips, cufflinks, bracelets, rings and pendants. You can enjoy the presentation in La Laguna, from 2nd to 5th January, in the Christmas Market, organized by Tenerife’s Town Council, in Adelantado square. Also, part of the collection for her and him can be seen from October in MarVick Gallery in San Vicente Ferrer 54, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Recycling and paper: Maru Our favorite artisan working with recycled paper and paper maché makes really amazing objects with these materials. In February she made the jump to fashion, participating in Tenerife Fashion’s First Professional Show of Craftwork and in September she participated in the International Fashion Hall and Complements MOMAD Metrópolis, Madrid. For the Christmas season she is preparing something very special: “Small Houses to keep small things”. Made with carton and recycled paper paste, these are containers of secrets and treasures, perfect to give as gifts.. All this and much more… https://www.facebook.com/marupapelycarton
Photography: ziREjA Irene Sanfiel is still taking photos of nature, but this time from a different point of view. She tells us about her most recentproject: Mamis & Mimos (Moms & Caresses). “It’s a creative photography project that began in 2013 as a result of the pregnancies of some of my friends. My photography has always been linked to women and on my birthday, the 23rd of March, I decided to start out on this new path, to make it professional. Although I spent a lot of time in photography,here I wanted to offer my services to women and men who appreciate the natural and unique beauty of each individual woman, as well as to highlight specific characteristics of each of the women I photograph in this special moment of their lives.. In November I will launch my new website, where I try to emphasize the direct, human, personal and professional relation that characterized the way I connect with my clients: www.mamisymimos.es” With this work Irene will advise and help you through process of creating a very special session of photos, exclusive for each person. Also, through her web and blog to which you can subscribe, you can learn photography tips and read about the experiences of other mothers who, like yourself, are living or have lived this experience.
Travelling through the Canary Islands: Canary Islands Project It all arose from an idea of two Canary Island youngsters who asked for help in order to film a documentary to tell the story of a group of young people who start a trip in an auto-caravan around the seven Canary Islands. Dani Millan tells us about his project that has become a reality: “We see each other in 40 days! The 4th November, Octavio Barrera and I started on a path by road and sea to rediscover the Canary Island Archipelago during 40 days, taking the most alternative routes. Our intention is to record a documentary over 40 days that shows important aspects in the Canary Islands: a different way to travel; to attract an alternative and different tourist who wishes to avoid the massive hotel-type tourism, to show the world people who live ‘outside society’ in small caves or tiny villages and who still work in a traditional way or who simply have an important story to tell. And finally, we would like to share with everyone the paradisiacal landscape contrasts we have in such a small territory”. Don’t you think it’s interesting? We will be watching them.
Personal Developmentand Horses: Alexis Díaz Alexis Díaz gave us one of the most wonderful features, one which had a great impact on many of our readers. His work, usual in its originality, together with his generosity and dedication, touch us. Assisted therapy with horses continues to help many people learn to know and to improve
themselves, and over Christmas he will continue
with this effort. For children between 6 and 15 years, who are at home over the holidays, he offers the possibility of attending a Christmas Campus, an original, fun and productive way, spend time outside of the house, enjoying a superlative experience. Also, he will go on with his workshops of personal growth assisted with horses, as well as the excursions he offers each Sunday of about 4-6 hours of time for all levels and in the center of Gran Canaria: Teror, Valleseco, Firgas… If you can, don’t miss out on this experience that will give you a very special Christmas memory.

Fighting anemia We’d like to suggest some meals with a high level of iron to end your battle with anemia. Anemia is the worst enemy of your energy. Those who have suffered from it know that an iron deficiency is a burden that leaves us feeling practically defeated. An erroneous diet, associated with bad habits fomented somehow by the speed at which we live our daily lives, are some of the causes that set it off. Women, who are the most affected by anemia, know perfectly well what we are talking about.

The Cliffs and Ravines of Masca In this issue we take you to one of the most beautiful spots on the island of Tenerife, the town of Masca, and we will guide you along its cliffs and gullies until we reach the ocean. A path that is awe-inspiring because of its landscape, its colours, its slopes, its hidden nooks and crannies, and then, the stunning view of the ocean, between the greenery and the black rocky cliffs.
The usual way of reaching Masca is to start at the port of Los Gigantes, next to which you will find a taxi stand and you can share a taxi with others to get to Masca at a reasonable price. These taxi drivers are so accustomed to the winding mountain road that it will seem like a simple excursion to them. Once you have reached the small village that is Masca, you will start your adventure. This is a very picturesque spot where you will doubtless want to take photos, and which give us a sense of how lovely our route will be from beginning to end. Our trail starts just behind the church of the Immaculate Conception. We want to take the path that goes to the left, which is marked, and continue going down until we cross the wooden bridge that will take us to the opposite side of the ravine..

Nativity scenes A perfect plan for a family visit Every year, in the Canary Islands still carries on with this beautiful tradition of the creation of nativity scenes that give us the opportunity to visit them with our children. They are made with a huge dose of love and considerable skill. It’s time to celebrate with the family, and it’s impossible not to enjoy them.

In Tenerife we spoke with Taoro Nativity Scenes Asociation, whose main objective is to “Promote and keep the beautiful tradition in La Orotava of creating a nativity scene to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ”. La Orotava is an emblematic town where you can discover wonderful landscapes and visit this fantastic show of nativity scenes that surprise us every year: “This route is located in La Orotava’s historical center and is composed of about 6 Almost every township in the

‘Gofio Polvorones’ (crumbly shortbread with roasted maize) You know by now that ‘gofio’ is one of the symbols of identity of the Canary Islands. Canary Islands kids are raised with gofio in their milk bottles and many adults can’t conceive of a breakfast without their milk and gofio. Gofio accompanies stews of fish or meat, we also make it into a dessert by mixing it with almonds and honey, or by putting it into a mousse or ice cream. And as the Christmas season is drawing near, we decided to share with you the seasonal way of enjoying it: Polvorones, a sort of crumbly shortbread ball, typical of the Christmas season throughout Spain, but made in the Canaries with gofio.

“Philippe Gaulier is my master, my theatre guru. That man changed my life, and I will be thankful to him forever” The director of Clownbaret, Brian Rodríguez, gives us an overview of the world of the clown, of which he and his theatre company form part, as they celebrate the 10 year anniversary of this amazing project. We hope you enjoy it and don’t forget to take advantage of this celebration to enjoy the events they have prepared for you. Photo: Tranquilo... los he visto peores.

Sigrid Ojel > What has Clownbaret offered you professionally? In the company I have learned to turn the ideas I acquired in the Actor’s School of Tenerife into a real show, working together with my partners. Brian makes us a proposal and from that point we start to create together. I think I have developed into a better actress and a more secure clown, with more personality and definitely more insolent. > Can you tell us what is the most special moment that you remember in your experience with Clownbaret? The most special moment I remember is the first time Brian, Marcos and I created something. We were nervous, my feet were trembling, but in that show something magic happened: we were really very closely tuned to each other, playing our hearts out and the warmth coming from the audience was extraordinary. In one of the sketches Dani, our technician, came on the stage as an inflated Santa Claus; when I looked at him, he was crying with laughter and I was incapable of continuing to act. Suddenly I realized that how quite absurd it all was and I started laughing and couldn’t stop.

Magic in the Moonlight Dir.: Woody Allen Woody Allen continues with his good habit of offering us a new film each year. The latest one is this film that seems to be what some have labeled a ‘minor work’ or ‘pure entertainment’. But even that, with Allen, means so much more. Colin Firth (The King’s Speech) and Emma Stone (The Amazing Spiderman) play the main characters in a love story set in the 20s in France. You know the formula: love, humor, jazz and, this time, magic and The Blue Coast as an incomparable setting. Have a taste of it all.

We adore lists and at oddee. com they are experts on them: 10 photoshoots gone terribly wrong; 10 strangest things to happen during surgery; 10 creepy clowns.. It’s a very strange web, for weird people but aren’t we all a bit weird? We love this idea.
Have you bought a camera and don’t know how to start using it? Well, have a look at this Pinterest site to find good ideas. We have found it very helpful; it offers very useful tips to help you start familiarizing yourself with your camera’s options and take different shots that will change your perspective.
We are impressed with the make-up of this Tumblr author. And because it enchants us we are sharing the site in the hope you too will enjoy it. If you want to experiment and send us your own picture, we would be delighted to publish it.
