The festival closes an important cycle and looks towards the summer of 2025 thinking about the tenth edition.

***#PHE2024 ||* #UnicoInCanarias || #*WeTalkMusic***

Phe Festival is entering a new decade after closing an unforgettable ninth edition. This perception is felt in the public's loyalty to this benchmark musical event of the Canary Islands summer. Puerto de la Cruz is already a place of worship for musical trends and a bouquet of emerging proposals where more than 10,000 attendees gathered, meeting the expectations of the organization. The fact that Phe Festival is already heading towards its tenth edition is, above all, due to its public. A whole generation that is gaining followers and that is fulfilling one of the festival's objectives, which is the creation of new audiences around music and trends.

With a musical programme and an eclectic line-up of artists in styles as diverse as rock and pop, indie, urban sounds between rap and funk, and dance sequences of international significance, the ninth edition of PHE Festival in its two days of concerts leaves performances that are major milestones in the history of the festival in El Puerto. Highlights include concerts by Lori Meyers in what was his first live performance in Tenerife, and which was the most celebrated by the public on the opening day; by the Galician artist Sen Senra, one of the referents of urban pop and a bet of the festival in 2024; León Benavente, who in his second visit to PHE Festival after the 2017 edition, changed the rhythm of the festival with an energetic show on Saturday night; and the always festive Joe Crepúsculo, who closed the concerts on the first night.

Alongside these national bands with a well-known career, there are also emerging bands and others that have quickly gained the respect and popularity that any artist aspires to, and that have Canarian members in their line-up. In this edition, Phe Festival brought to Puerto de la Cruz proposals such as the Madrid-based Camellos, with three albums already released; La Paloma, fronted by the Gran Canarian Lucas Sierra, who left their mark on the thousands of spectators who attended the Tenerife festival; or the Seville-based Vera Fauna.

In this sense, it is worth noting the female presence in a good part of the artistic line-up of this edition, with bands and proposals with a female voice and pulse that have also grown on the national scene, as is the case of the Madrid-based group Shego, or Pipiolas, the duo shared by the Gran Canarian Adriana Ubani. and Madrid native Paula Reyes. Youth and experience in the female category also came together at Phe Festival with the presence of Mavica, the alter ego of Marta Casanova, a native of Cartagena and based in London; and Soleá Morente, who demonstrated her versatility in moving through different styles and letting herself be influenced by them to give colour to her music.

Another female voice to highlight in the line-up of artists at Phe Festival was the Tenerife singer Jela, with a background that aspires to the major leagues in the urban scene, as she demonstrated on stage. Hers was one of the Canarian-style proposals that the festival offered, along with the live performances of Enrique Ive and Nala Rami.

Electronics and club culture

The Phe Festival was also a generous showcase of different trends in dance music and club culture. While in previous editions Puerto de la Cruz had been visited by top-notch proposals in the electronic scene such as the British Orbital, references in the dance scene since the 90s of the last century, or the German duo Digitalism, this year two figures with notable careers and reputations on the international scene were programmed: the Danish group Trentemøller and the Belgians Goose, turned the festival into a dance floor in the final stretch of the festival.

As a novelty, the Phe Festival inaugurated a new stage, the Espacio Domo Jagermeister, with sessions of deejays and selectors of different styles in the afternoon and evening in the days prior to the two days of concerts, from Tuesday to Thursday. This new Espacio Domo extended its programming to Friday and Saturday, in parallel with the festival's programming, with a select list of deejays. A proposal that had the support of the attending public as could be seen with the massive attendance that this third stage of Phe had during the days of the festival.

Beyond sound waves

Phe Festival goes beyond sound waves. Puerto de la Cruz became a meeting point for yoga, health and wellness workshops; extreme sports such as the V Aqualia BMX Waterjump; wine tastings with Phe Wine and other types of artistic proposals such as the unmissable Phe Gallery. In addition, within the music venue there are, as every year, market and gastronomy proposals that provide the added value necessary to complete an incomparable festival proposal in the Canary Islands.

It should be noted that Phe Festival has become a brand. Its provocative and suggestive musical style, its vocation for discovery and trends; and its innovative and attentive spirit with the public make it a genuine festival. Something that also 'infects' Puerto de la Cruz and transforms the tourist city into a cradle of avant-garde music, opening up the profile of the tourist who visits it.

Phe Festival is currently opening its season ticket campaign for its 2025 edition. Refunds of the remaining credit on cashless wristbands for this edition can be made starting this Tuesday, August 27 at 9:00 a.m. The period to recover it is open until next Tuesday, September 3.

Phe Team takes on the executive production of PHE Festival, an event promoted by the Culture Department of the Puerto de la Cruz City Council. It also has the sponsorship of the Government of the Canary Islands through the Canary Islands Institute for Cultural Development and the General Directorate of Youth, Canary Islands Tourism, as well as Tenerife Tourism - Tenerife! Wake Up Emotions and the Tenerife Island Council through the Culture Department. The brands Aqualia, Levi's, Heineken, IKEA, Pepsi, Jagermeister, Fuente Alta, Grupo RAHN, Labrador Cepsa Puerto de la Cruz, and Hemispheria also collaborate.

Dance cures everything on the second day of Phe Festival 2024

Posted on 27 de August de 202415 de January de 2025 by Ulises

The ninth edition of the festival had the best possible closing in its history, with energetic and overwhelming live performances by León Benavente, Trentemøller and Goose

***#Phe2024 ||* #UnicoInCanarias || #*WeTalkMusic***

Dancing cures everything and the musical sequence between stages at the PHE Festival on its second Saturday day clung to the dance floor as if there was no tomorrow. The concerts by León Benavente, Trentemøller and Goose were great, both for the attitude and impact of these bands, each in their own style and musical concept, and for the response they received from the public. And as the PHE Festival is not only fuelled by speed and electronic sequences, the Saturday day left more intimate and bare proposals in the musical aspect, and others that move between rock and pop, funk, psychedelia and new flamenco, which had Mavica, Shego, Nala Rami and Camellos as protagonists.

Above all, it was a night of dancing, with DJs and selectors on the third stage inaugurated this year, the Espacio Domo Jagermeister. One of those unique and unforgettable days that are the hallmark of PHE Festival, which was taken away when León Benavente took to the main stage, after 9:00 p.m., with Abraham Boba, who knows how to lead the audience to the right place. It was the second time that the band was in Puerto de la Cruz, after the 2017 edition, and their formula of rock implemented with sequences and structures that draw on the most vitamin-rich kraut got an audience on its feet, jumping and singing along, who also wanted to go crazy at the feast that León Benavente was serving up.

A complete repertoire that started with Type D and ended much higher with Yesterday I went outThe band shook up their discography, four albums released, plus EPs and others, in a concert with a notable electronic pulse, increasingly present, in which without respite and with Abraham Boba moving in and out, they sounded There is no fear, Provisional state, Like the stone that floats and I love, in a first loop of songs. Brave spirit, almost an ancient hymn in their repertoire, La Ribera, California, Shooting the horses, Our anniversary, Mythical, At the feast, Being a Brigade, Glory and the aforementioned Yesterday I went out, completed a concert that is already historic in the history of PHE Festival.

But before the story of the last dance that PHE Festival brought, with Trentemøller and Goose, we must take note of what happened in the middle of the afternoon at the opening, which had Mavica on the stages of the port area, fronted by Marta Casanova, who opened the doors to the pop melancholy, acoustic and with electronic production, with which she has dressed the album. Sometimes a person never comes back (but that's okay). After her, the Madrid-based Maite, Raquel and Charlotte, the members of Shego, gave a concert in which they made good on the label of emerging band with the album Good luck girl (2023). Among others, they sounded Forgive me, Oh Boi, Sorry, I'm crying all over, I'm horny, I'll kill you or Steak Tar Tar, with which they ran out of time.

THE MIRROR BALL

The pop psychedelia and neo flamenco that make the Sevillians Vera Fauna their hallmark (version of I blush, by Papa Levante, included) was another of the sensations of the second day of PHE Festival, in which there was also room for old school funk with Nala Rami, the group of the Gran Canarian saxophonist Alan Himar. The winner of the Sonora Las Palmas de Gran Canaria competition arrived in Puerto de la Cruz with Pasaporte Sonora and a set that embraced the mirror ball with pieces such as I died in the disco, Superficial or Sundays.

The final stretch of PHE Festival was in another league, with the Danish Trentemøller in band format, the Madrid-based Camellos and the Belgian group Goose. Without a doubt, the international triumph of this edition goes to the musician, DJ and producer Anders Trentemøller, and the musicians he came with: Diisa Jakobs (vocals, guitars, synthesizers), Silas Tinglef (drums, guitars), Brian Batz (guitars) and Jacob Haubjerg (bass). The Danish maestro made his debut in Puerto de la Cruz with a master class on dream pop, shoegaze, psychedelia, with passages of the caliber of Dreamweavers or Moan, and others where the guitars in the shadow of Dick Dale, for example, are contaminated with acidic and twisted rhythms. Superlative elegance for electronic gourmets.

Before the party electro rock of Goose, the PHE Festival lowered the revolutions slightly to welcome Camellos. The punk adjective applied to the Madrid group has to do with the songs and how the public reacts, as could be seen. From their own creation, they delivered songs such as Mallet, Divorce, Rice with things, Who is laughing now, Copper flavor or Dance factory, by Joe Crepúsculo, who they invited to sing with them to make the party complete.

The closing of the PHE Festival was for Goose and the catchy electro rock played by the Belgians. Songs like Bring it on, title in addition to the debut album in 2006, or What you need, to name some of the hits that the quartet brought to Puerto de la Cruz, set the pace and the final dance steps for the ninth PHE Festival.

Lori Meyers' timeless songs light up the first night of PHE Festival

Posted on 24 de August de 202415 de January de 2025 by Ulises

The Granada band offered a masterful concert on their first visit to Tenerife with a repertoire of greatest hits before a devoted audience

#Phe2024 || #UnicoInCanarias || #WeTalkMusic

The PHE Festival It is a musical and trend-setting event that accommodates all possible types of music. It is not a festival of indie groups, an outdated term that labels anything; nor is it a festival of electronics and dance; nor even of urban sounds, trap or any subgenre that entices the new generations. But in each new edition, and there are nine with the one in 2024, the PHE Festival It embraces all proposals and artists, from within and outside, who move within any of the aforementioned style coordinates.

The ninth edition, whose concert programme started this Friday, August 23, maintains this roadmap unchanged with artists such as the Granadans Lori Meyers, the Galician Sen Senra or the Barcelonan twilight joeFor the three of them, each in their own space and with their own audience, it was the first day of the festival in Puerto de la Cruz, with Lori Meyers getting a high mark.

The band led by Antonio López Noni did not disappoint in their first concert in Tenerife, due to their staging, attitude and a repertoire full of everlasting songs, which remain in the collective imagination and no longer belong to the band, but to the public, in this case to the thousands of people who followed each of the lyrics out loud. A great party in which all the expected ones fell: Beings of light, Neon lights, Flatland, Springs, Punk, Fireflies, You don't say anything anymore, Time will pass, The sun always shines, Make you fly, the long-awaited and celebrated Getting drunk, Are they back?, My reality and High fidelity.

The first day of PHE Festival It had much more than the long-awaited meeting with Lori Meyers, as it was the first concert of the Galician Sen SenraThere was expectation to see the evolution of this rising figure of urban pop, who came to PHE Festival with his latest album PO2054AZ, the sound alibi to trace an emotional journey with his most eclectic creations. And since Sen Senra enchants, a couple got engaged while the song was playing Scent.

With two artists called to play in the major leagues in the opening, the British Canary Islander Enrique Ive and its newly released EP Pileus, produced by Pablo Queu; and the singer from Tenerife Jela, who played songs from his recent album with ease and good flow Temple, accompanied by her band Los Maledukaos and the collaborations of Cristina Mahelo and Fernikhan, the first day of PHE Festival left good feelings among the public with the concerts of Repion, Pipiolas, Soleá Morente, Dove, and the final flourish that he put twilight joe, who made good on his role as a techno troubadour, an album released in 2022, with pieces like The song of your life, Jose House and The dance factory, among others.

Phe Team takes over executive production of PHE Festival, an event promoted by the Culture Department of the Puerto de la Cruz City Council. It also has the sponsorship of the Government of the Canary Islands through the Canary Islands Institute for Cultural Development and the General Directorate of Youth, Canary Islands Tourism, as well as Tenerife Tourism - Tenerife! Wake Up Emotions and the Tenerife Island Council through the Culture Department. The brands Aqualia, Levi's, Heineken, IKEA, Pepsi, Jagermeister, Fuente Alta, Grupo RAHN, Labrador Cepsa Puerto de la Cruz, and Hemispheria also collaborate.

Water, adrenaline, fun, friends and surfing

The perfect combination of the V BMX Aqualia Waterjump at Phe Festival this Friday 23rd

***#Phe2024 ||* *#UnicoInCanary Islands***

Like a good pairing of food and wine, there are combinations that make the spectator burst with emotion. And that is precisely what the BMX Aqualia Waterjump at Phe Festival achieves. Water, adrenaline, fun, friends and fast-paced rides are the elements that combine perfectly to make this sporting event one of the most eagerly awaited within the 'menu' of parallel activities at the festival in El Puerto.

The fishing dock in Puerto de la Cruz is the perfect setting for the fifth edition of this activity this Friday, August 23 at 2:30 p.m. There are 900 euros in prizes for the three best jumpers. In addition, in this edition other vehicles have been incorporated to jump into the water besides bicycles: it can be done on a skateboard. The jury will decide who are the best three jumpers of this fifth edition.

Mati Lasgoity and Rubén Rodríguez know the waterjump discipline very well and are immersed in the coordination of the activity, as well as being active participants in the competition. Lasgoity has taken the podium in the last two editions of the competition and this year “I am going with all the energy to repeat everything, even the podium,” he announced.

Aqualia has been the main promoter of this frenetic activity since its beginnings and Phe Festival is grateful that they are also present in this fifth edition. The promotion and encouragement of sport and healthy living is key to the organization of Phe Festival and thanks to entities such as Aqualia, it is possible to offer a quality alternative program.

Braulio Domínguez, Head of Production at Aqualia in Tenerife and a native of Puerto de la Cruz, is clear that the support of Aqualia, the entity responsible for providing such an essential service as bringing water to the homes of the people of Puerto de la Cruz, must continue to be present in activities such as this. “Promoting and promoting initiatives such as the fifth edition of the Aqualia BMX Waterjump at Phe Festival is a pleasure for us. Our relationship and commitment with the City Council, and therefore with the citizens of Puerto de la Cruz, in cultural, health and well-being initiatives, is historic. Our business values are fully aligned with this type of discipline,” explains Domínguez. The representative of Aqualia is familiar with the city of Puerto de la Cruz and its relationship with the sea and the marine environment. “Aqualia could not fail to continue lending its support to a proposal like this one that bears our name and is already a classic as a start to the Phe Festival. I know it is a safe bet,” he said.

The definition of the V BMX Aqualia Waterjump combination has been created by Lasgoity and Rodríguez. Widely knowledgeable in the discipline, they are clear that although falling into the water with a bicycle may seem easy and fun, it is not so if the body falls into the water before the bicycle: “if the bicycle falls into the water before you do, it is ideal because it breaks the tension of the water,” explains Rubén Rodríguez.

The trick or pirouette performed in the air is decisive in obtaining the highest score from the jury. However, the level of planning before the final jump varies depending on the rider: for Rodríguez it is something that is decided “when you are gaining speed to jump, it is crucial that you know what trick you are going to do,” he explains. For Lasgoity and in his particular case, “the jumps are thought out and premeditated because a mistake there is like falling on the asphalt,” he warns.

The Phe, the V BMX Aqualia Waterjump and Puerto de la Cruz are an equilateral triangle, with three equal sides. They always add and never subtract. “I think the waterjump has become one of the most popular activities within the Phe Festival because it is fun. It is a way of connecting because obviously, who doesn’t like doing or watching stunts on a bike?” asks Mati Lasgoity. For Rubén Rodríguez there is a connection between the sea and the idiosyncrasy of the city: “they have always had activities related to the sea, such as the cucaña at the Fiestas del Carmen. That attracts a lot of people’s attention. In addition, I think there is also the curiosity of seeing if we can do a stunt,” he says with a laugh.

The aquatic competition on wheels within the Phe Festival is more than consolidated. Beyond being the fifth edition, this year the expectations of participation are quite high both in number and origin of the riders. “This year we will have riders from outside the Canary Islands, specifically from Mallorca. In addition, we have the expectation that participation will increase and that the scooters (skateboards) in the competition,” Rodríguez explained.

Everything is ready to jump into the air and land in the water on the V BMX Aqualia Waterjump. Have you already thought about what trick you are going to do?

Goose's synthetic rhythms are set to close Phe Festival

Posted on 15 de August de 202415 de January de 2025 by Ulises

The Belgian group joins the lineup of the ninth edition of the festival in Porto on Saturday with an electro rock, festive and dance-oriented proposal

***#Phe2024 ||* #UnicoInCanarias || #*WeTalkMusic***

The synthetic rhythms and broad-spectrum electro rock in which the Belgian group's music moves Goose will be the closing soundtrack of the ninth edition of Phe Festivel, which will be held on August 23 and 24 in Puerto de La Cruz. The quartet formed by Mickael Karkousse, Dave Martijn, Tom Coghe and Bert Libeert comes to Phe Festival in excellent form and with a vibrant live performance that invites you to dance, in a year that celebrates the twentieth anniversary of a notable professional career.

Goose was formed in the summer of 2000 in Kortrijk, Belgium. After winning first prize at the Humo's Rock Rally competition for new bands in 2002, they recorded their first single with Teo Miller, Audience. A piece that would give the Danes a notable media prominence, since Coca-Cola used the debut single for television advertisements for the brand that were broadcast throughout Europe.

With six studio albums released to date, the debut album of Goose arrived in 2006 with the launch of Bring it on, the result of a contract with the Skint Records label. The band toured the festival stages of half of Europe and expanded their borders in the Australian and Japanese markets. Then came Synrise, Goose's second album, released in 2010, with art by Storm Thorgerson – graphic designer and member of the Hipgnosis team, author of iconic covers for Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath or Scorpions-, which made possible a new European tour for Goose. The piece Synrise which gives the album its title was remixed by Soulwax, among others.

Control Control Control, from 2012, recorded live in the studio with the collaboration of Paul Stacey (Noel Gallagher) and Dave Sardy (Oasis, ZZ Top); the fourth What You Need, from 2016, which reached number one on the Ultratop chart; the most recent Endless, from 2022, in addition to the live Nonstop (Live at Pukkelpop, 2018), and singles, remixes and rarities aside, complete the discography of a band with an electrifying live performance.

The Belgian band is celebrating its anniversary. An anniversary that spans more than two decades that Goose wants to celebrate with their fans. “The essence of Goose is the connection we share with you, our big family, whose passion and energy make each performance unforgettable,” the group details on its website, while announcing the start of the celebration concerts, after their time at Phe Festival, at the Lotto Arena on 16 November 2024. “It won’t be just any show; it will be a journey through time, in which we will relive the hits that defined our shared history and prepare for new melodies that hint at the exciting future that awaits us,” the quartet assures.

"After Audience We released our debut album, Bring It On, which was the spark that ignited a journey beyond our wildest dreams. Our travels have taken us from intimate clubs to huge crowds, across Europe, China, Japan, North America, South America and Australia. Together we have created a discography that resonates with the rhythm of our shared experiences, from the anthemic high of Synrise to the pulsating rhythms of British Mode, Call Me and Words“Each note is a chapter in our collective story, which has earned us accolades and a revered place in the hearts of music lovers around the world,” the group explains.

In addition, the album is scheduled to be released on October 4th. G20SE, featuring the 20 most iconic songs from Goose's repertoire, along with two previously unreleased tracks.

The authors of songs like Bring it on, Everybody, Check or Black Gloves will be on the stage of Phe Festival in Puerto de la Cruz on August 24, on the second day of concerts, on a Saturday in which there will be much to see, hear and dance to from artists such as the Danish group Danish group Trentemøller, León Benavente -in what will be his second visit to the Phe Festival after the 2017 edition-, shego, Camels, Vera Fauna, Mavic and Nala Rami. All this with a previous Friday of opening of the festival in Puerto de la Cruz, also of long duration, with the performances of Enrique Ive, Jela, Pipiolas, Repion, Dove, twilight joe, Solea Morente, Sen Senra and Lori Meyers.

Phe Team takes over executive production of Phe Festival, an event promoted by the Culture Department of the Puerto de la Cruz City Council. It also has the sponsorship of the Government of the Canary Islands through the Canary Institute of Cultural Development and the General Directorate of Youth, Canary Islands Tourism, as well as Tenerife Tourism – Tenerife!

Phe Yoga and the festival's desire to create a yogi community in Puerto de la Cruz and Tenerife

Posted on 12 de August de 202415 de January de 2025 by Ulises

The vision of a festival like Phe is constantly evolving. Both in the musical section and in the parallel activities, the festival always seeks to take a step forward each year. A good example of this is Phe Yoga, one of the most eagerly awaited proposals within the complementary programme of experiences.

***#PHE2024 ||* #UnicoInCanarias || #*WeTalkMusic***

In 2024, the big news is looking towards the El Peñón stadium in Puerto de la Cruz with the Yoga Meeting next Saturday, August 24. A meeting for the outdoor practice of yoga, an experience that Nuria from ON Studio Canarias, coordinator of Phe Yoga, describes as ideal.

All the information about this meeting and the different workshops is in the following link: https://Phefestival.es/Phe-yoga-2024/

Nuria and the rest of her teammates are still hoping that the morning meeting on Saturday 24th will be better once again. “Every year there is more interest in this outdoor practice meeting and attendance has been doubling almost every year. This year they expect more than a hundred people to attend the practices.”

Since 2020 until now, when these meetings were incorporated into the festival and coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic, both the discipline of yoga and its development within this music festival have grown and changed a lot.

According to the coordinator of Phe Yoga, “the number of people practising this discipline is growing worldwide and it is very noticeable. It is integrated into gyms and sports centres, which was previously almost non-existent. Yoga now occupies much more space than just specialised gyms, achieving greater visibility and diffusion.”

The event on Saturday 24th will include four consecutive sessions designed to open up a range of possibilities for regular practitioners and those who wish to start taking up yoga. Phe Yoga seeks not only to offer a space for practice, but also to foster a community, creating meaningful connections between the festival and the city. “This event is a perfect showcase for those who have not yet had the opportunity to approach yoga. And for those who have already started, it is a unique opportunity to explore new disciplines, from the most traditional to the most innovative, and to interact with the other participants.”

In addition to the Saturday meeting, the proposal extends to the rest of the city during the previous week and there are several yoga centres in Puerto de la Cruz that participate in this initiative. Tushala Yoga Studio, El Árbol Terapias, Mocán, Casa Bergantín and Sol y Luna will offer classes from Monday 19th to Friday 23rd August in different modalities and times. Phe Festival appreciates the availability and collaboration of all the centres participating in Phe Yoga. “It is a very satisfying job for the whole team because it creates a healthy and enriching environment. For us it is vital that the schools in Puerto de la Cruz have this visibility and make it possible to offer this diverse programme of activities”, says Nuria.

Returning to the realm of evolution in recent years, yoga has broadened its focus, integrating both meditation and physical aspects in response to the current needs of society. At Phe Yoga, a variety of practices are offered, ranging from aerial yoga and acroyoga to sessions of inversions, stretching and ecstatic dance, the latter closely related to dance and movement. “Yoga as a philosophy and lifestyle, ranges from a deeply meditative practice to more physical classes that require demanding postures, ideal for focusing attention, improving our body awareness, even for athletes from other modalities who want to improve their performance,” explains Nuria. “Our goal with this program is to make yoga known in all its forms, showing its multiple benefits for health and well-being,” she adds.

TRANSFORMING PHELLOWERS INTO ENGAGED PARTICIPANTS

At the first edition of Phe Yoga in 2020, a group of people decided to participate in the event out of curiosity, without any prior experience in yoga. Attracted by the idea of a different activity and the relaxed atmosphere of the proposal, they signed up without great expectations. However, what started as a casual activity turned into something much more meaningful. During that session, these people who were very fond of the festival, discovered not only the physical benefits of yoga, but also a sense of calm and inner connection that they had not experienced before. Inspired by that first practice, they began attending regular classes with different teachers who participated in the festival. Today, they are committed practitioners, and every year they return to Phe Yoga, not only to enjoy the festival, but also to reconnect with the discipline that transformed their lives. “We never thought that something as simple as stretching and being calm would lead us to a path of well-being that is now a fundamental part of our lives,” they commented in the 2023 edition, fondly remembering their first experience at the event.

THE UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER BETWEEN NIGHT OWLS AND EARLY RISERS

In past editions of Phe Yoga, morning sessions began at 8am, a perfect time for regular yoga practitioners who enjoy saluting the sun early in the morning. However, this schedule posed a challenge for festival-goers who wanted to make the most of Phe Festival’s nights of music and fun.

During the 2022 edition, a group of friends, still energized from the night before, spontaneously decided to attend the morning yoga session. They arrived at the session with laughter and yawns, not knowing exactly what to expect. At first, a mix of sleepiness and curiosity dominated the mood among them. But as the session progressed, they began to feel an unexpected sensation. The postures and conscious breathing seemed to dispel the tiredness, replacing it with a sense of calm, mental clarity, and revitalized energy.

One of the friends, Javier, later shared: “I thought that after sleeping so little, yoga would be torture. But it turned out to be the opposite. It was like a reset for the body and mind. I left there ready to face another day of festival.”

Taking into account experiences like Javier’s and seeking to further integrate the festival community, this year the organizers of Phe Yoga have decided to delay the start of the sessions to 10am. This change not only allows night owls to rest a little longer, but also facilitates greater participation, creating an inclusive space where both early risers and night owls can meet and share the transformative experience of yoga.

Music and artists that resonate in Phemenino

Posted on 8 de August de 202415 de January de 2025 by Ulises

The ninth edition of the Phe Festival features female voices of different styles and generations such as Solea Morente, Shego, Pipiolas, Repion, Jela and Mavica, who will perform in Puerto de la Cruz on August 23 and 24.

***#PHE2024 ||* #UnicoInCanarias || #*WeTalkMusic***

The ninth edition of PHE Festival, which will be held on August 23 and 24 in Puerto de la Cruz, has a woman's name in a large part of its artistic lineup, with the presence of singers, composers and instrumentalists of different generations and styles, such as the Tenerife native Jela, Solea Morente, Pipiolas, Repion, Mavic and shego. Big names on the national and international scene, such as Solea Morente, one of the headliners of the first day of PHE Festival, along with the band Lori Meyers, who has not given up his family roots and his flamenco background to experiment with pop rock and more alternative sounds; and other figures called to be phenomena in their field, revelation artists, etc., a label that falls on shego, Mavic and Pipiolas and in the singer from Tenerife Jela. And without losing sight of the impact of the Cantabrian duo Repion, active for over a decade.

A group of women with a wide-spectrum creative universe in which there is everything: rap and urban sounds with a different pace that feed the new musical harvest in the Canary Islands; flamenco substratum with splinters of rock and pop; grunge and post-adolescent frustration; and electric dreams of pop melancholy, among other kinds of style.

Of the aforementioned formations, four will perform on Friday 23rd, on the first day of concerts of PHE Festivel. A long afternoon in which the public that comes to the traditional call of the festival of El Puerto in the penultimate week of August, will be able to discover the live performances of Jela, Pipiolas, Repion and Solea Morente, along with other bands performing that day, such as: Enrique Ive, Dove, Joe Twilight, Sen Senra and Lori Meyers. The other two bands with women's names, Mavic and shego, perform on Saturday 24th and share the stage with Nala Rami, Camels, Leon Benavente and Trentemøller, among others.

The singer from Tenerife Jela She is an artist who looks beyond rap and last year released her first album, Temple. An artist called to write major pages and who is presented at the PHE Festival in a state of effervescence with a bouquet of songs that already walk alone, like Warrior Rial, Temple, The Messiah or I love you to death, all of his recent harvest.

Jela will be accompanied live by a band of musicians that make up Manu Alles To the bass, Fernando Angulo on percussion, Hector Left to the guitars, and Alberto Martin on keyboards. And she will be the second to perform on Friday 22nd after the opening with Enrique Ive. After the Tenerife singer, the time sequence of the first day, barring any changes, leads to two very different sound proposals: Pipiolas and RepionPipiolas is a duo based in Madrid, a creation of the Elefant label, formed by the Gran Canarian Adriana Ubani and the madrilenian Paula Reyes, and with its own musical language, mature, fresh and fun, it is asking for a place thanks to its first album There is no god and countless stellar collaborations.

The blame for the success shared by the two singers and actresses who embarked on this story that began in 2022 with the release of the single Daffodil, They have songs like I'm not a Xoxo, Love song for you, Own ballads, Pogo at home, Saint Peter, Do you dance or what? or Baby, among others from the repertoire of There is no god.

A special proposal that of Pipiolas, who have toured half the peninsula with festivals and concerts in which they have conquered the public and critics with a pop full of edges and fantasy in which it is impossible to get bored, in which there are great melodies, arrangements and an overflowing imagination. With a handful of hits in their repertoire and they are called to be one of the great news of Spanish pop in the coming years, because they are creative, effervescent, unprejudiced, brainless, illuminated, brilliant, fun, exciting and energetic. The Pipiolas live line-up is completed with Philip Sauerwald, guitar; Alvaro Angel, battery; and Marina Hurtado, To the bass.

With the Cantabrian duo Repion The PHE Festival enters into other sound coordinates. The sisters Marine (guitar and vocals) and Teresa Inesta (drums and backing vocals) feed this creature with a lot of vitality, teenage rage and a touch of melancholy. A sound that draws from grunge and pop but goes beyond and connects with alternative rock references such as Sleater-Kinney or Juliana Hatfield, and others such as Dover, Big Thief or the Beatles.

A rock discharge with a knife between the teeth, with just the right amount of joy in the lyrics and a live performance that runs over. Their latest work is the EP We all fix it together (Mushroom Pillow, 2024), released last May, which includes candies of the caliber of The day doesn't give me any time, Friday, what about you? and They come from having a good time. In his discography we must notice the debut album Poppy hurts (2016) and the album of the same name Repion (2023) and first for Mushroom Pillow.

The two sisters who give life to Repion They collaborate on other parallel projects: Marina is a guitarist and backing vocalist in Mikel Erentxun's band; and Teresa is a singer and guitarist in a new pop-punk project called Aiko, as well as a drummer in Yawners.

The voice of Solea Morente is one of the great protagonists of the first day of PHE Festivel 2024. The flamenco roots of the Morente saga preside over each of their movements, whether towards pop or alternative rock, among projects of different nature in

those he has worked on. His will be the stage before the concerts of Sen Senra and Lori MeyersThe name of Soleá Morente compels us to pay tribute to one of the most important families in Spanish music, formed by the Granada singer Enrique Morente and the dancer Aurora Carbonell.

A versatile and chameleonic creator who has projected herself in film and television and especially in music. Her beginnings were in 2011 with Los Evangelistas, a tribute band to her father Enrique Morente, which included members of Los Planetas and Lagartija Nick, with whom she would publish the EP as lead singer Meeting (2013). Since then, Soleá Morente, who in 2018 received the Princess of Girona Foundation Award for Arts and Letters, has released four albums in which she has been able to touch on countless styles with radically different parameters: electronic, rock, pop, indie, shoegazing, techno, rumba and flamenco. There will have to be a way (The Volcano/Sony, 2015), Ole Lorelei (The Volcano/Sony,2018), What you are missing (Elefant, 2020) and Aurora and Henry (Elefant, 2021), are the long-form works to date in which Soleá Morente has had on her side big names from the national scene, including Guille Milkyway (La Casa Azul), Ana Fernández-Villaverde (La Bien Querida), David Rodríguez (La Estrella de David) or Jota (Los Planetas).

A SATURDAY WITH MAVICA AND SHEGO

On Saturday 24th the PHE Festival puts the spotlight on Mavica and Shego. Mavic, an artist and producer from Cartagena based in London, will be the second performance of the second day of concerts, while the Madrid trio Shego will do so later and before the festival in El Puerto and its public meet again with León Benavente.

Mavic is the project of artist Marta Casanova. Her sound mixes folk with indie, pop and electronic sounds, a kind of pop melancholy wrapped in electronic production that has earned her millions of plays on streaming platforms. She moved to London when she began studying Performance and Production at the London College of Creative Media. There she wrote her first EP, Gonand, which includes the song Fire Critically acclaimed on The Line of Best Fit and The 405. In September she released her debut album Sometimes a person never comes back (but that's okay), which received support from Rolling Stone, Billboard Latin, Clash, C-Heads, Early Rising, Paste, BBC Radio 1, KCRW and took her to the front page of the playlists Indie Radar from Spotify and Global Rising from Tidal. MAVICA has frequently performed at festivals such as Primavera Sound, Mad Cool and O Son Do Camino and has supported Alice Phoebe Lou, Roo Panes, Blanco White and Low Island.

shego is a rock band from Madrid formed by Maite, Raquel and Charlotte. MIN Award for Best Emerging Artist 2023 and an album released Good luck girl (2023), Shego is another of the pearls in the Saturday session of the PHE Festival with hymns full of light and shadows that lead us through love, grief, rage, and internal conflicts. In February 2023 they released their debut album and have a second work in the pipeline with which they intend to make a statement to establish themselves as the band leading the resurgence of rock in Spain. They co-produce with the help of Asha Lorenz (member of the group Sorry) what will be an album full of vertices in the

that play with the idea of two sides of the coin, hymns full of light and shadow that lead us through love, grief, rage, and internal conflicts. Strength and darkness in a project that exudes freshness and maturity in equal parts and that confirms to us that shego is without a doubt the present and the future.

Sen Senra will set style in Puerto de la Cruz

Posted on 17 de July de 202415 de January de 2025 by Ulises

The urban pop phenomenon arrives in Puerto de la Cruz in its first concert in the Canary Islands with the tour PO2054AZ, also the title of his new three-volume album project. The artist is crowned as one of the greats of the Spanish scene, setting trends in each work.

***#UnicoInCanarias ||* #*WeTalkMusic***

The urban pop phenomenon, Sen Senra, is one of the outstanding artists presenting the ninth edition of PHE Festival, which will be held on August 23 and 24 in the Tenerife municipality of Puerto de la Cruz. It will be the first concert that Sen Senra, the alias of Christian Senra, will hold in the Canary Islands and it seems like an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the live performance of this musician and composer born in Pontevedra, who has collaborated with figures such as C. Tangana, Julieta Venegas, Feid or Tainy, and since his debut album in 2015, he has conquered the public and the national and international market with songs that are anthems.

Sen Senra arrive at PHE Festivel in 2024 in Puerto de la Cruz with the tour PO2054AZ and the title of his new three-volume recording project. The title of the album and the tour is the license plate of a Peugeot 205 that his father owned, and which, on his countless trips, he discovered the music that would lead him to become an artist. Nostalgia for the past is the highway that leads to his most brilliant project to date. And it is Sen Senra's excuse to present an emotional journey, in which he discovers his most eclectic songs, where the urban is contaminated by pop, American influences, avant-garde and experimentation.

A journey that begins with I don't want to be a singer, a declaration of intent from the Galician ("I don't want to be a singer, I want to be something better"), going through pieces like One Of Those Cats, beside Sky Breaking (Feid, J Balvin…) or Completely crazy, produced by Tainy (Bad Bunny, Rosalía…), Senra DNA, Blue Jeans and a Crop Top, My North (with Ian Isiah), No Excuse, and others of the stature of Family or It doesn't matter what people think.

From his native Pontevedra, Sen Senra He began in 2015 to deliver songs condensed into two albums that immediately showed his facility for melody and for taking other people's references and turning them into his own. Permanent Vacation (2015) and The Art Of Self-Pressure (2017) were introductory albums, in English, that have little to do with the sound universe that Sen Senra manages today. The decisive moment in the Galician's career would come with his third job, Sensations (2020), produced by Anxo Ferreira. Here were hits that came to stay like YI don't need you, Don't let me go anymore, LIKE the fire or 86.400.

ROMANTIC ICON

Sen Senra He is a multifaceted and multidisciplinary musician of infinite charisma, according to his record company. A romantic icon with which the public and fellow generations immediately identified. Good proof of this was the call from C. Tangana to lock themselves up to write together How easy, a topic that became the seed of chrome heart (2021), EP that served as a follow-up to the celebrated Sensations (2020). A job that with pieces like wu wu, his collaboration with Feid, helped him continue opening the doors of the Latin public. His ability to transcend generations and audiences was demonstrated with another duet, in this case with none other than Julieta Venegas in Of you, with Manuel Lara, known for his productions for Kali Uchis, at the controls. Highlight, among their most recent collaborations, the song Beautiful coincidence, with Aitana, recorded months ago. The two met at her concert in Bogotá at the end of last year and decided to cross paths.

Sen Senra He is the fashionable artist. The tours through Latin America, with a special focus on Mexico where he has a legion of followers, with full houses at the Pepsi Center in Mexico City, among other milestones, packed concerts at the Wizink Center and at the Sant Jordi Club, show of the impact of his music and the public that follows him. Festivals such as Bilbao BBK Live, FIB Benicassim, Morriña Festival, Santander Music Festival, Sonorama Ribera, Festival B in Barcelona, FIZ Festival in Zaragoza or Cooltural Fest in Almería, as well as PHE Festival, mark Sen Senra's agenda until September of this year. In November, he has concerts scheduled at the National Auditorium in Mexico City. and in Puebla.

The Galician artist will be at the first day of concerts at PHE Festival 2024, on Friday, August 23, as one of the highlights of the lineup along with Lori Meyers, which also features the performances of Solea Morente, Joe Crepúsculo, La Paloma, Repion, Pipiolas, Jela and Enrique Ive. The PHE Festival completes its ninth edition with a second day, on Saturday the 24th, with lthe new yorkers !!! (Chk Chk Chk) and the danes Trentemøller, and national artists León Benavente, Mavica, Vera Fauna, Camels, and the Gran Canaria project Nala Rami.
