The Festival de las Capacidades 2015 (Capabilities Festival), a new festival also known as Cap-Fest is scheduled for December 4 and 5, 2015 in December in Los Cristianos, Arona, Tenerife (Canary islands, Spain). The free admission festival will feature celebrated Malian acts Amadou & Mariam and Toumani Diabate, along with American singer-songwriter Peter Broderick, Ait Nahaya (Morocco-Canary Islands), and Pascal Kleiman (France).
In addition to music, the festival intends to break taboos with its high-level conferences on sex in functional diversity, therapeutic CBD and its effect on the brain, biotechnology and “trans-humanization” among others, with the assistance of prestigious speakers on the subject.
