Il Divo returns to live concerts to celebrate Christmas in Maspalomas

The international importance of this group, which has acted before personalities such as former US presidents George Bush, Bill Clinton or Barack Obama, or the Queen of England and "its world fame, represents us because San Bartolomé de Tirajana is a place of meeting of nationalities, of people from all over the world who come to enjoy, to feel, to live experiences. Il Divo only performs in world-renowned squares, that is why Il Divo has come to the south of Gran Canaria ”, Narváez stated.

The group of tenors returns within the tour Christmas Tour & Big Hits, planning a concert for this evening in Maspalomas, with Christmas songs along with his best-known pieces. "It is the first concert after all these months of hiatus and it is an honor to start our tour, again, in this paradise that is Maspalomas", added Carlos Marín, the Spanish component of the Il Divo group. His colleagues have joined in thanking the consistory for having "the special pleasure of starting our concerts in this land."

“Welcome to paradise” were the Mayor's welcoming words to the four members of the Il Divo musical group. "I am happy to present Il Divo, which is a world benchmark in a municipality that is also an international benchmark in terms of tourism," added Narváez.

In the appearance before the media this morning, the Mayor highlighted "the help that the consistory has received, after the economic and tourist stoppage of these months ago, from the singers and the company DN7 Eventos", directed by David Navarro, promoter of the show, “because they have turned to helping local businesses with the campaign“ Local businesses invite you to the Il Divo Christmas concert ”and, of course, to the Three Wise Men with the donation of toys for the most disadvantaged children.

“This event has generated economy and wealth in our municipality. We estimate that the turnover is around more than 120,000 euros of sales in local stores, without assessing the multiplier effects in restaurants and leisure. The objectives set by the City Council was the promotion of local commerce and, as a consequence, the revitalization of the business fabric. And we have achieved it with the help of Il Dico. Purchases in local businesses have been encouraged and promoted immediately and in close collaboration with merchants themselves ”, Concepción Narváez declared.

"It is the first concert after all these months of hiatus and it is an honor to start our tour, again, in this paradise that is Maspalomas", says Carlos Marín
