Phe Festival faces a new decade, completing an unforgettable edition in 2024

Posted on 3 de September de 202415 de January de 2025 by Ulises

The benchmark summer music event in the Canary Islands is resonating with the loyalty of the public in Puerto de la Cruz with more than 10,000 attendees.

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.

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.

The urban pop phenomenon of Sen Senra joins the ninth edition

Posted on 5 de March de 202415 de January de 2025 by Laura

The Galician artist, recognized as one of the most relevant figures of current pop, will perform for the first time in the Canary Islands at the Puerto de la Cruz festival, which has also confirmed these days the band Pipiolas and Vera Fauna.

#EncountersInTheNinthPhase || #WeTalkMusic

THE SENRA PHENOMENON

Christian Senra is the name behind the alias 'Sen Senra', a versatile musician with whom international artists such as C. Tangana, Julieta Venegas, Feid and Tainy have already collaborated. In 2019, he published 'Sensaciones', an album that marked a before and after not only in his career, but in the artistic scene, which received him as a genuine revelation. The Galician artist has refined his own sound that has conquered an ever-growing audience, distancing himself from the stigmas of the urban genre, with brilliance, concision and, most importantly, style. The title of his latest album 'PO2054AZ' is, at first glance, a license plate of an old Peugeot 205 from Pontevedra but, behind it, hides the artist's most emotional journey, discovering his most eclectic songs, with an international sound that mixes the urban, American influences and avant-garde essence.

A FESTIVAL FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

The festival also maintains the concept Family Friendly, planning like every year the accessibility of boys and girls to the venue during the day, bringing music and culture closer to all ages, with the idea of being a family-friendly, conciliatory and accessible festival.

Phe Festival or the last chance to see Second live in the Canary Islands

Posted on 7 de August de 202314 de August de 2023 by Rebeca

The Murcian band has decided to stop their own musical time and Phe Festival will be the last stage in the Canary Islands to see it live: it will be next Friday, August 18 in Puerto de la Cruz

Second has been on stage for 25 years, being one of the most representative Spanish indie bands

The last time. An instant that is so afraid. Well, a moment like that, one last time, will be the one that will be lived with Second in Phe Festival. The musical event in Puerto de la Cruz will be the last opportunity to see the Second band live in the Canary Islands. The Murcians will be on the first day of the eighth edition of Phe Festival: Friday, August 18.

Sean Frutos, Jorge Guirao, Nando Robles and Fran Guirao are unplugging from the music scene at the end of 2023. They have been on stage for 25 years as one of the most representative Spanish indie bands. Although they began singing in English, the success in Spain made them return to their native language to communicate perfectly with the Spanish-speaking public and to live a prolific musical career in terms of studio albums -nine plus one live (titled 15 )- positioning itself as one of the best bands of the last decades in the Spanish territory.

Live is their natural habitat and in their farewell statement they have made it very clear that the energy of this latest tour will be very special. Their repertoire will include songs from their latest album, 'Flores imposibles', but also those great songs that characterize them: 'Invisible', 'Rincón exquisite', 'NADA', 'Primera vez' or 'Nivel inexperienced'.

Beyond being pigeonholed in a certain musical genre, Second has defined in some interviews that indie for them is "something in which art prevails over the commercial". They have changed record labels on several occasions, but without losing their identity and always knowing that they would make the music they wanted. That music that excites and on many occasions rides on optimistic melodies and choruses that stick to your feet almost without wanting to.

They have been true to themselves for 25 years. They have not abandoned halftime, they have composed long songs without fear of the next button, they recorded a live album accompanied by the string and brass sections of the Murcia Region Symphony Orchestra or they rejected adding color to their musical palette although sometimes they went up to a major key without qualms.

Phe Festival is going to be one of the fields where Second will give everything. It will be like throwing out the remains when it is the last opportunity to stay in the memory of the public. And while M-Clan talks about not staying in someone's memory forever on 'Stay Over', Second will put on a memorable and unforgettable concert at Phe Festival.

Second will be special within Phe Festival. Legends of dance music and electronic culture will perform on the Porto stage, such as the British Orbital; and a wide catalog of proposals of different octane and style that have as protagonists Trueno, The Reytons, Natalia Lacunza, Arde Bogotá, Jimena Amarillo, Sexy Zebras, Bala, Rocío Saiz, Adora, Antiplancton, Shinova, Rocío Márquez & Bronquio, Morreo , Ghouljaboy, Hoonine and Zurych.

Subscriptions and tickets per day to attend the festival are on sale on the platform Tickety.es.

Thunder Heats Phe Festival

Posted on 7 de August de 202314 de August de 2023 by Rebeca

The festival bets on the Argentine rapper and singer, an unstoppable phenomenon of the urban genre that will perform for the first time in the Canary Islands on August 19

The author of incendiary pieces such as 'Fuck el Police', in collaboration with Cypress Hill, and hits of the caliber of 'Dance Crip', 'Atrevido' or 'Mamichulo' completes the second day of concerts scheduled in Puerto de la Cruz

The sharp verb of Trueno, the alias of the rapper, singer and freestyler Argentinian Mateo Palacios Corazzina (La Boca, Buenos Aires, 2002), will be very present at the eighth edition of the Phe Festival, which will be held the next August 18 and 19 in Puerto de La Cruz. The Argentine rapper has become an unstoppable phenomenon of urban music, and will set foot on a Canarian stage for the first time on Saturday, August 19, on the second and last day of concerts at the Porto festival. A bet of the organization of Phe Festival 2023 that places the author of Dance Crip, Daring, Fuck the Police, We went out at night, Buenos Aires on fire or Background as an outstanding headliner among a cast of artists who navigate the eclectic sound palette offered this year by the Phe Festival.

Trueno's passage through Tenerife is one of the dates of the tour Right or wrong Tour 2023 in which the Argentine artist has been presenting the repertoire of his second album Right or wrong, which was published in May of last year. His debut came at the age of 18 with the album Bold, an accurate statement of intent by a singer who was on his way to having the world in the palm of his hand. A challenge that Trueno lacks, according to the notable success that his songs have found among an audience fascinated by his proposal. A star with all the letters, with a short but productive and successful career -with several nominations and a Latin Grammy last year for the album daring live, awarded in the last two editions of the Gardel Awards, among other recognitions-, who knows what he sings and knows the path he is traveling, and who balances his musical discourse among all the sound variants that spring from the sweetest continent: rap, funk, salsa, all of this is handled in Trueno. Puerto de la Cruz will witness a live show that seems spectacular, and that due to expectations will foreseeably be one of the concerts to highlight in the historic Phe Festival.

The visit to the Canary Islands is the second part of a tour that will take the already planetarium kid from the La Boca neighborhood, after passing through the Phe Festival 2023, to places like Seville, Pontevedra and Granada. Last June, he already turned the national stages upside down in which he realized the potential of his elastic flow during his time at Primavera Sound, in Barcelona and Madrid, Santiago de Compostela, Malaga, Seville and Granada, where he is repeating now in summer.

Thunder is the mirror of the street, of the neighborhood, of its people and its luck. His career began long before he reached the age of majority, at the age of 14, when he dared to fight cockfights among easy-talking youngsters with artistic aspirations. The family environment was decisive in his interest in music. Son of Juliana Corazzina and Pedro Palacios, the Uruguayan rapper MC Peligro, formerly of the group Diferentes Attitudes Juveniles and leader of the artistic collective Sur Capital Clika, who was the one who plunged him into the world of hip hop; and grandson, through his father, of Yamandú Palacios, a musician linked to popular circles and who shared the stage with Alfredo Zitarroza, Joan Manuel Serrat and Joaquín Sabina.

The applicant abandoned his condition years ago and as a result of a meteoric career he is today an outstanding part of the Olympus of Argentine rap and trap that has Bizarrap as a great reference. Before recording albums, two studio and one live, and doubling down on multiple collaborations, the Argentine's verb began to break loose in cockfighting. In this rapper circuit in Buenos Aires, he covered himself with stripes until in 2019 he won the scepter of champion of the contest organized by Red Bull. A freestyler street that soon found the north and the vocation. In 2017, he had released the theme KING, his debut in music under the Neuen record label, but it was in 2019 when things would change direction. With this same label and with Sony distribution it arrived the following year Bold, a collection of songs created during the coronavirus pandemic, in which the rapper's influences are evident, what his weapons are and who he is aiming for.

Bizarrap's Hand

The sessions of freestyle that Trueno did with Bizarrap were a notable boost in popularity, as well as songs of the type mamichula, with Bizarrap and Nicki Nicole, which in six months exceeded 220 million views on the YouTube platform.

And it is that as the singer proudly remembers in Fuck the Police: "If Thunder says hip, the whole neighborhood hops". An assertion that is verified in what happens in each of his concerts, and what the Phe Festival 2023 will witness, and in the more than five and a half million subscribers on YouTube and the almost seven million that the artist adds on Instagram.

Fuck the Police is one of the thick themes of his second and last Right or wrong (2022), which contains hits like Argentina, with Nathy Peluso; Panama, with Duki; jungle, with Randy and Bizarrap; One step, with J. Balvin; I have it, Just for you or Dance Crip, generous funk rap tribute to one of his clear influences, Ilya Kuriaki & The Valderramas, jugglers of hip hop, funk, rock and dance-pop, with a final sample of the phrasing of cool. We must not forget the repertoire with which Thunder was discovered three years ago now, which will surely have an echo in Puerto de la Cruz: Bold, the album and theme, and others from the cut of Cucumelo, Background, Ñeri; Bleeding, with Wos, where he stated emphatically "whether you like it or not we are the new rock and roll, boy"; and the classic mamichula, with Nicky Nicole.

Is Fuck the Police the penultimate shot by Trueno that had been shaking the networks since the end of July: a remix with Cypress Hill, a band from California and hip hop leaders since the late 80s and authors of I wanna get high and Insane in the brain. Another notch in the revolver of the Argentine rapper, of attitude and trend, to which are added collaborations with the best players in the world urban league, and other triumphs linked to his time at the Lollapalooza festivals in Chile, Vive Latino in Mexico or the Argentine Quilmes Rock Festival; and share the stage with the British band Gorillaz singing a duet Clint Eastwood with Damon Albarn.

With Thunder the Phe Festival will put an end to plus 20 hours of live music scheduled at the Puerto de la Cruz venue on Friday, August 18 and Saturday, August 19, and on whose stage legends of dance music and electronic culture will perform, such as the British Orbital; and a wide catalog of proposals of different octane and style that have as protagonists The Reytons, Natalia Lacunza, Arde Bogotá, Second, Jimena Amarillo, Sexy Zebras, Bala, Rocío Saiz, Adora, Antiplancton, Shinova, Rocío Márquez & Bronquio, Morreo , Ghouljaboy, Hoonine and Zurych.

Subscriptions and tickets per day to attend the festival are on sale on the platform Tickety.es.
