Canarian folklore broadcaster
Fernando 'Nanino' Díaz Cutillas was a key figure in broadcasting Canarian popular culture, closely linked to the programme Tenderete.
Fernando 'Nanino' Díaz Cutillas, linked to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, played a central role in the public dissemination of Canarian folklore and popular culture. He was closely associated with Tenderete, the television programme that brought traditional music, singers, groups and dances into the shared memory of several generations.
His contribution was not limited to presenting popular repertories: he helped give public visibility to local traditions and performers from across the islands. Through television and cultural communication, Nanino treated Canarian folklore as a living expression of identity rather than a static remnant of the past.
He died on 27 December 1988. His legacy remains tied to the audiovisual memory of the Canary Islands and to the recognition of popular culture as an essential part of the archipelago's contemporary history.
