Lanzarote is brimming over with culture, and Sands Beach Resort Hotel is always keen to promote the most exciting events in sport and music. Being a family beachfront hotel, the 2008 edition of Costa de Musicas appealed immediately, with its 2 days and nights of diverse music in the popular resort of Costa Teguise and on the Playa Bastian beach. It’s music all the way from the evening of Friday September 26, and what a line up they have on offer, all totally FREE.

It’s a truly international event with 35 acts on 5 stages, led by Dub Pistols from London, Living Colour from New York and the James Taylor Quartet, from England. It’s no wonder Sands Beach Resort Hotel was buzzing for the official media launch of the music feast, direct from the luxurious grounds of this popular resort. Juan Carlos Albuixech (far right) Director General of Sands Beach Resort welcomed the mayor of Costa Teguise, local councillors, sponsors and the organisers of this 3rd annual event to unveil the full line up of events, to light the fuse on this cracker of a weekend.

In the day, from 2 pm to 8 pm, there will be more subdued music at key points around Costa Teguise, including the kiosk at Pueblo Marinero, near the information centre and the post office. then at 8.30 it’s down to the beach to dance to the array of singers and bands that will take you past midnight. Have fun and let the music take control, you can always relax by the pools and bars tomorrow at Sands Beach Resort Hotel.
