Singer, songwriter and visual artist
Luis Morera Felipe is a singer, songwriter and visual artist from La Palma, the lead voice of Taburiente and a figure linked to the renewal of Canarian popular music since the 1970s.
Luis Morera Felipe was born in Santa Cruz de La Palma on 10 October 1946. The retrospective El arte de vivir presents him as a musician, poet, painter, sculptor and designer of architectural spaces, with work structured around the relationship between art, nature and Canarian identity.
In music his career is tied to Taburiente, founded on La Palma in 1974 with Miguel Pérez and Manolo Pérez. CanariWiki places the group in the birth and evolution of Nueva Canción Canaria, while the Boletín Oficial de Canarias highlights Morera as soloist and composer of some pieces and describes Taburiente’s first LPs as reference points for Canarian roots music through their mixture of folklore, rock, electronic instruments and jazz concepts.
This biographical profile summarises his role as a La Palma cultural creator and public voice of an insular, social and environmental sensibility. Discography, Taburiente repertory, documented songs and musical evolution are developed in his specialised soloist-and-musician profile.
