Tanxugueiras denounce boycott in Palencia due to protests about Ceuta

The Galician folk trio Tanxugueiras, whose fame rose to the clouds at the Benidorm Fest 2022 with the song Terra, has spoken out about the boycott suffered in Palencia on September 3, where their presentation was delayed 40 minutes (it was scheduled for 8:45 p.m.) due to a protest over the crisis in Ceuta. The Plaza Mayor of Palencia, which celebrated the San Antolín festivities, became a scene of tension when a group of people burst in and shouted slogans in favor of Ceuta, against the Government and insulted the group's singers.

The group made up of Aida Tarrío and the twins Olaia and Sabela Maneiro, one of the most important in the current Galician music scene, thanked in an Instagram message for the public's support: "We want to thank the people of Palencia who were there to see us play. These debates are necessary, but let's look for respect and affection more than hatred and insults."
