Olga Cerpa

Olga Cerpa García comes from Gran Canaria and is documented by institutional sources as Mestisay’s central voice since joining the group in 1986. The interview published by Diario de Avisos helps contextualise her biographical link with Moya, the San Juan district of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and early musical learning, although the located sources are not uniform when fixing the municipality of origin.

Her public career unfolds with Mestisay, a project created by Manuel González that the Canary Islands Government places in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and that has taken Canarian music to stages in Europe, America and Africa. Pequeño fado y otras canciones de amor, Romántico, Palosanto and Canarii appear in that career as works and productions connecting Canarian song with fado, bolero, guitars from different backgrounds and international collaborations.

This profile summarises her role as a singer within contemporary Canarian musical culture. Repertory, recording projects, collaborations, awards and stylistic evolution are developed in her specialised soloist-and-musician profile.
