Quevedo’s ‘little tool shed’: a Canary Islands VIP list

A Canarian twist on a global tour phenomenon

If Bad Bunny has his ‘La Casita’, then Quevedo could well have his own little tool shed. That is the premise that content creator Álvaro Luis Hernández brought to the microphones of Radio Club SER, where he turned one of the most talked-about phenomena of the Puerto Rican artist’s tour into a fantasy with a Canarian accent.

What is ‘La Casita’?

The idea is as simple as it is effective: imagine which famous figures from the Islands would be entitled to enter that space reserved for the chosen few, but swapping the Puerto Rican house for a structure much more rooted in the rural imagination of the Archipelago. The idea stems from the viral impact of Bad Bunny’s ‘La Casita’ at his concerts. During his tour, the Puerto Rican singer has turned this structure into one of the show’s biggest draws: a space within the venue where well-known guests, celebrities, artists, and popular faces gather. Being in ‘La Casita’ is not just about watching the concert from a privileged spot; it is about being part of the night’s narrative. The cameras focus, social media comments, and every appearance becomes almost an event in itself, running parallel to the main show.

From rural tool shed to VIP enclosure

In Álvaro Luis Hernández’s proposal, this idea is translated into the Canarian vernacular with an image recognisable to anyone who has grown up near the countryside, the midlands, or the farms: the tool shed. In its original sense, this is a small agricultural building used to store tools, farming materials, and equipment related to working the land. However, in the Canary Islands, the expression has also taken on its own cultural weight: it evokes gatherings, makeshift stalls, impromptu meals, plastic chairs, cool boxes full of drinks, and that touch of everyday humour that turns any corner into a meeting place.

The guest list: a Who’s Who of the islands

The beauty of the idea lies in the fact that being famous is not enough: you have to be something of a Canarian icon. For this reason, the list proposed by the content creator mixes popular music, politics, television, social media, sport, humour, and business. Into Quevedo’s imaginary ‘little tool shed’ would come names as recognisable as Pepe Benavente, K-Narias, Rosa Dávila, Fernando Clavijo, Alejandro Tosco, Juan Carlos Castañeda Baute, Miguel Daswani, Ceci Wallace, Mel Omana, and even the owner of Fred. Olsen Express.

Less red carpet, more farmstead

The list works precisely because of the contrast. In the same symbolic space, street party artists, institutional figures, communicators, digital creators, and profiles deeply tied to the social landscape of the Canary Islands could all fit. This is not a solemn selection, but rather a humorous snapshot of what a VIP area with an island designation of origin might look like. Less red carpet and more farmstead. Less champagne and more soft drink in a plastic cup. Less international posing and more bar banter, long after-dinner chats, and local complicity.
