It was on September 11, 1960 when the islands rang before a match between CD Tenerife and Real Murcia, then called Imperial Club de Fútbol (now Real Murcia Imperial Club de Fútbol). Canarian group song.
He the song arose from two members of Los Huaracheros, Guanche name because huara in the language of the ancient canaries meant origin. But Franco’s regime didn’t even know about that because they will believe that this is a South American thing and that they are soldiers with Falangist troops.
And that’s what Diego García Cabrera and Antonio González Santamaría did, respectively, with lyrics and music in a derby anthem between Las Palmas and the fans. The Huaracheros were born in 1936 with the Civil War on the Teruel Front. They became famous because their music inspired the national side from a truck belonging to Franco’s troops. Later, the group swept the islands in the heat of performances with traditional music from the islands with a careful repertoire included in its tours of Latin America and the Caribbean.
In 2006 Diego Garcia Soto recalleda great leader of the RNE in Tenerife and died in 2013, that “their first trip abroad was made at the dawn of 1957, which ended with a tour of Cuba, Venezuela, Miami, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Colombia, which earned them the nickname of ambassadors of the canarian song“. And it is that “the humanitarian work developed by Los Huaracheros in Cuba is very intense, acting selflessly in hospital centers, asylums and finally in any town where there is a Canarian colony, always leaving the most meaningful and interesting souvenirs of the island of Tenerife and the whole archipelago“.
