Jameos del Agua hosts Matria on 24 October

Jameos del Agua in Lanzarote will host Matria on 24 October, a 75-minute concert by Caracolas rooted in Canarian musical traditions.

Jameos del Agua in Lanzarote will host Matria on 24 October 2026, a concert by Caracolas rooted in Canarian musical traditions. The performance is part of the cultural programme run by the island’s Centres of Art, Culture and Tourism.

The event gives travellers a fixed cultural date at one of Lanzarote’s volcanic attractions. It also places a contemporary music project inside a natural auditorium shaped by the cave’s rock, water and acoustics.

Matria brings Canarian roots to Jameos del Agua on 24 October

Matria is described by the organiser as a project by Caracolas, a musical ensemble connected to Canarian traditions. Its material follows five years of research and draws on the testimonies of 210 women from across the Canary Islands.

The CACT events programme lists the performance as a 75-minute concert at Jameos del Agua on 24 October 2026. The official CACT programme places Matria among concerts and other cultural proposals at the island’s visitor centres. A separate October agenda entry also identifies Jameos del Agua as the venue.

The volcanic auditorium gives Matria a natural setting

The venue occupies part of the La Corona volcanic tube, where partial roof collapses created the openings known as jameos. Rock, water and light shape the route through the centre, while an interior lake provides one of its defining features.

The first Centre of Art, Culture and Tourism created by César Manrique opened at the site in 1968. The wider intervention was completed in 1977, with paths, platforms, gardens and rest areas organised around the form of the volcanic tube. Jesús Soto, craftspeople and workers from Lanzarote also contributed to the finished setting.

This history gives the October concert a precise relationship with the place: Matria’s account of Canarian memory will be presented in a space whose architecture preserves the island’s volcanic landscape as part of the experience. The surrounding area is protected as the Los Jameos Site of Scientific Interest.
