Carnival Comparsas of Tenerife

The comparsa contest of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival is one of the most iconic events of the festivities. In this competition, comparsas, which are large groups of dancers and musicians, compete by showcasing spectacular choreographies full of rhythm and energy, accompanied by colorful and striking costumes. Each comparsa performs different musical numbers to the beat of batucadas and other tropical genres, offering the audience a visual and auditory spectacle. In addition to the dance and music, the jury evaluates the originality of the costumes, the coordination, and the overall impact of the performance, making it one of the most anticipated competitions of the Carnival.
