Who's who in Phe? Get hooked on the summer game (II)

Posted on 5 de August de 2022 by Nana

If you're reading this, dear friend of Phe, you probably came from the first part, where we told you about the first day of the poster of this your trusted festival in its 2022 edition. If you don't come from there and you're here by the grace of the algorithm , of the networks or of your tendency to procrastinate without success looking for rolls on the Internet, you can click here and see what this talk is about.

If in addition to procrastinating you can be lazy and you have that flaw that is lack of curiosity, a summary: we offer you a brief presentation of the groups and/or artists that will animate our body and spirit in the two magical nights of Phe Festival 22 in Puerto de la Cruz. Here goes Saturday of Glory!

Glory Saturday at Phe Festival

Baldosa is a great name for a group. This is a subjective observation, of course, but lately it seems that subjectivity and "respect my opinion" are at the height of empirical knowledge, so go for it. Baldosa, we said, is a great name for a group, one that, moreover, on its Twitter profile, promises to make us dance and cry in equal measure. Can you resist that? We, tremendous and hedonistic in the same measure and proud of it, go with everything.

An intense pop sound and relevant rhythmic guitar playing will attract us to stage two, where El Faro will plant its base after six in the evening. They are from Tenerife and return to the stage after a break, like those couples who decide to give themselves another chance knowing that it is their thing. But they don't come back the same, that if it doesn't go funny. They return electric, risky, and with a pre-pandemic album produced by Guille Mostaza, with a title that seemed to warn us of what awaited us: 'The bad years'. We will have to ask them if their precognitive skills allow them to know when they will finish.

A yeyé pop duo in the 21st century? So yeah, what's up. Adiós amores it's new and fresh, guitars and synthesizers in the hands of two very young singers, producers and composers who sing their own songs, but it's also a fun and grateful look at Andalusian pop and the yeyé thing. Go ahead, we don't like comparisons, so we'll just leave a “Vainica Doble vive, Vainica Doble, presente” here and let anyone who wants to understand it understand it.

Lucia Tachetti it is one of the resonant faces of Latin American electropop, round sounds directed to the dance floor are part of an album with synth moments that has revolutionized the scene. We warn you that many people consider that of Lucia Tachetti an essential voice of the current pop scene and not a few consider her, also, one of the figures of tomorrow's electronic pop.

Maika Makovski She is a singer, songwriter, musician, actress, presenter and visual artist, as far as we know – if you are right now humming that of “architect, engineer, craftsman, carpenter, bricklayer and shipowner”, you are one of us. If not, excuse the digression, we'll be right back. One of the outstanding voices of the alternative pop scene and always in search of her own character, who is not the first time we enjoy on the island, but the first time we will witness her latest album live, which she herself defines as “direct, organic, vigorous, vital, fun and raw”.

One Saturday of our other life they thought to debut Chaqueta de Chándal in Tenerife. But it turns out that Covid had other plans and look, you can't leave your house until you don't know when in fortnightly installments and there we stayed, wanting to chant 'Don't look at the teeth of a modern hangover', 'We want to go a misa', 'Cayetana' or 'Hablemos del mineralismo', hits of space and acid rock by this group defined as an unlikely cross between Neu!, La Polla Records and Los Brincos. This is the \ It \ him Underground…

Alizzz He is the man without a face who has been responsible for the successes of artists such as C-Tangana or Becky G, a shadow brain that, about time, successfully claims his presence in recent times. 'You stopped loving me', the piece by C. Tangana with La Húngara and El Niño de Elche Produced and set to music by him, it can be a declaration of intent and an easy reference to explain his universe: the sound consistency of Anglo-Saxon electronics mixed with a certain national symbology. Ball.

Mula It is the Dominican music of the future. Or what has been the same, the music of the future in general. Sounds to have fun and dance, a mood electronic, enjoyment, retro, with the wave of the keyboards of the eighties, the electronics of the 90s, funk, rock, urban... What else?

Little more than five years the boys of Viva Suecia on the scene and it seems that they have been there all their lives. The Murcian batch of indie groups seems to have assured success based on passion, melodic forcefulness, majestic arrangements and epic guitars. Possessors of an authentic arsenal of hits – we suspect that they have the recipe for cooking anthems – they are one of the most requested groups in our suggestion box, for a reason.

Digitalism will put the official end point to this edition of Phe. The German duo is one of the indie dance sensations of this century, fun and imaginative, serious and ecstatic, worthy heirs to the German electronic tradition with a powerful and catchy proposal with which to say goodbye to Phe until next time.

For our part, return to where we started, to the metaphor of the buffet. We hope you satisfy your festival cravings with Phe. And with us, the same as with food, you can repeat as many times as you want. We already have seven!

This is our proposal for Friday of Passion and Saturday of Glory. How you spend Resurrection Sunday is up to you.

Who's who at PHE? Get hooked on the summer game (I)

Posted on 5 de August de 20225 de August de 2022 by Nana

Trying to analyze the poster of a summer festival, unless it is one of those corseted appointments in a genre – and still – is a bit like deciphering the offer of a buffet. Yes, we know, the metaphor can be a bit funny, but it is what it is. And at festivals, like at buffets, drinks are separate. Do you see how it is not so far-fetched? Anyway, let's stop justifying our little ingenuity and get to the point.

We said that the musical offer of a festival has a certain resemblance to the gastronomic offer of a buffet: some essential dishes, indisputable hits before which the respectable swarms, new additions that will become classics or not and some rarities that, a priori, They will only draw the attention of those who understand or who refuse to recognize their condition as a mass and assume membership in a supposed elite who knows according to what criteria. (Canned hearts of palm at a buffet have seen these little eyes that are now looking at the screen).

An event like Phe Festival, international, eclectic, multidisciplinary, family, sustainable –We stop with the adjectives because you will think that there is a bias and you will be right – it wants and must offer variety on its counter, be an attractive proposal for anyone and a refuge of solace for those who want to approach and withdraw from the madding crowd to immerse themselves in other noises. Thus, it is perfectly understandable that out of the entire offer – this year we have come a long way: two days, two stages, twenty groups, a lot of hours of music – someone escapes you. The conversations around us as the confirmations were announced took us back to long Sunday afternoons playing Who's Who?: “Is he wearing glasses? Use a hat?". And let's be honest, with these data, on a date like this, it could be anyone... That's why, in Phe Festival, your festival of confidence, with a certain enlightened desire, we have prepared a guide so that you can finally say without blushing that "I already knew them before", which this time will be true.

Passion Friday

The Weeird will be the group in charge of opening the door of love this year. The main stage of Phe will receive this powerful, electric and vibrant group from Porto that sounds like Manchester, although we would not be able to explain very well what that means. They play at home, in Puerto de la Cruz, and if you are still wondering whether to come so early, think about the future, looking over your shoulder and declaiming, like an actress from an old theater: “I knew them before they were mainstream”

At 18:10 – we pretend to be British, now – time for the wild rock of MOLLO & The Freestyle Poodoo Experts, direct from the banana trees of La Finca 33, on the cliff tops of Los Patos beach, to the Phe stage. Soul, Funk and more things when the afternoon wants to fall. Anything else? You never know.

Las Dianas they are very young and for that reason alone they arouse the most terrible envy of the person who writes this. They come from Granada and that is another reason, but more personal. Insanely cool pop rides and sharp, witty lyrics, cheekiness and a whole lot of humor – and pretty punky, the way we like it. The music scene of the city of La Alhambra does not stop giving us joy, this time in the form of 5 girls having a good time singing –sometimes screaming– about everyday experiences, lack of love, hate and other issues. At 6:50 p.m. on the main stage. Then don't say we didn't warn you.

dani, with the “d” in lower case, it is hypnotic and hypnotic, sweet, sensual, elegant and a confessed fan of Jeanette. Our respects. A delicious way to start watching the sun go down from stage two, at their first concert in the Canary Islands.

Soul, hip-hop and dancehall coexist with coplas and boleros in the imaginary of Queralt Lahoz –Did you see how we can return to the simile of the buffet?– and they do it in such an organic way that, if we were not so condemned to overthink and we were not so given to the prosaic, we would assume that so hackneyed that “it is in the blood ”. (Only essential elements for survival are carried in the blood and, perhaps, some hereditary disease, let's stop with that already). The purity nested in a crossroads of culture and influences and a captivating live show that will leave you piqueto. Because, as Camarón used to say, “purity can never be lost when you really carry it inside you”.

Gaiety and discreet eccentricity, luminous stories with a gloomy counterpoint and an excellent reading comprehension of the world –because it coincides a bit with ours, we are so self-indulgent–, Kokoshca it comes at the right time to awaken our enthusiasm and our lucidity. And our desire to dance, or something.

The artist formerly known as Deluxe is one of the most solvent musicians and composers on the national scene and beyond. This, which sounds like a basic resume or mortgage loan application phrase, is the absolute truth. Xoel López, whom at the beginning of his metamorphosis the stubborn indies compared to Juan Luis Guerra –as if that were something bad– is solvency, elegance, talent and honesty. And also, as long as one knows how to listen and is like the reed –the plant, not the singer– a one-way path. Sing dance. Do not miss it. At 22:10 the verbena begins!

The Parrots they are irreverent, fresh, cheeky. With the flag-bearers poster of the new wave garage Spanish, they had to go out and succeed before we paid them a little attention –Oh, Mónica Naranjo, pioneer in so many things–. His dirty and magnetic show will close stage two on Friday night.

"Although you like Los Planetas like all the puretas” they sang Novedades Carminha –At this point we feel like we are bearers of a painful reality: they are not that they are scamps either– and a piece of trash settled in our spirits. whore? Are we really at that point of "any past time was better"? Do we have a belly like the night of kings with its presence in Phe because we are comfortably installed in another time, in another soundtrack? It's possible. But what is indisputable is that this other time is not that of the people of Granada. Theirs is still this.

Instituto Mexicano del Sonido It is basically, Camilo Lara. And it is, also, a genre in itself –how helpful this is when you don't know where to pigeonhole something–. Long live Mexico, let's return to the past and transfer it to the future. Let's mix cumbia with electronic sounds, alarms, take tradition so that you have your modernity. And yes, we are so obvious that the theme we leave you with is a cumbia-manifesto hand in hand with Las Dianas, of whom we have already said a few things above. Shall we cross our fingers to see it live?

And so far on Passion Friday, little friends of Phe. Let's go for Glory Saturday!

The seventh edition of Phe Festival will be held on August 19 and 20, 2022

Posted on 23 de August de 2021 by Nana

With the commitment to offer a safe cultural experience, Phe Festival will return on August 19 and 20, 2022 to Puerto de la Cruz with a program that will again combine live music with fresh and unique proposals to reconnect audiences. The festival says goodbye to a unique edition, the second marked by the new context, once again consolidating itself as one of the most outstanding cultural and social events in the Canary Islands.

Thus, Phe faces its next edition with expectations fulfilled and in a collective effort that contributes to revitalize the image of Puerto de la Cruz, a model municipality in the development and promotion of the island's cultural and creative fabric, as a safe environment and attractive destination. "From the City Council we want to thank everyone for the exercise of responsibility to say clearly that with work, effort and conviction, Culture is Safe and Phe Festival has been, once again, an example", he indicates to the regarding the mayor and head of Culture, Marco González. “In addition, culture is a value in itself because of what it means in these difficult times for so many people. And it is also a key factor in the reactivation of all sectors of the municipality, which has experienced a week full of activities, including sports, and which has led to significant economic revitalization so that Puerto de la Cruz continues to be a model of recovery for the rest of the destinations of the islands”.

With the dates announced for 2022, Phe Festival is now facing its seventh edition, reaffirming its commitment to turning Puerto de la Cruz into a benchmark for live music. To do this, it has put up for sale online through its website and the Tickety.es platform a first edition of fertilizers at a promotional price.

Commitment to culture

The days of live concerts on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 August have once again become the main theme of this summer experience that brought together 1,500 people per day in the 11,000-square-meter stable venue located on the esplanade of the Puerto de the cross, and what was adapted to the health prevention and safety measures required by the regulations.

The public at Phe has not only been able to enjoy the emotion of live music with a line-up that brought together names such as Anne Tijoux, Zahara, Bizarre Love Triangle, Rigoberta Bandini, Rufus T. Firefly, A lot, Biznaga, Women, _june, jack bison, Mel Ömana and Pat Llombet –with We Are Trash and The Groove Brothers as resident DJ– but also a set of parallel activities for the enjoyment, participation and motivation of all the residents and visitors of the municipality. Urban sports, yoga and contemporary art have integrated the festival's program which, once again this year, has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable practices. In this way, those attending the urban competitions and workshops on Aqualia Phe Sports, as well as the participants in the different practices of Phe Yoga, in addition to Phe Gallery, the collective exhibition installed at the Castillo de San Felipe Cultural Space since the end of July, has brought together hundreds of attendees in this sixth edition that recovers the spirit of the summer festival that characterizes it.

As was done in 2020, Phe Festival has been held again adapting its organization and structure to the new context, all the activities have been carried out with an exhaustive security protocol for the public, artists and the team involved in the organization. All this without neglecting the values and commitments acquired by the event since its inception, a result that would not have been possible without the involvement of the Puerto de la Cruz City Council, and also that of institutions, sponsors and collaborators, whose support has been essential for the growth and development of this sixth edition. The festival wants to thank the public for their support and exemplary behaviour, as well as the Puerto Rican citizenship the welcome that it offers every year, especially to the local fellow, about 30 hotel and restaurant establishments in the region that in this edition have joined the Phe leisure proposal, a true reflection of the collaborative model of cultural management and citizen participation that characterizes Puerto de la Cruz.

"We continue to add from the City Council now with the launch of the second line of aid after joint work with associations and the rest of the political groups, -adds the mayor Marco González- this Monday the term of the new call opens, for thank and complete the extraordinary pulse shown by our city and its small and medium-sized businesses, to which the reopening of hotels and new commercial premises continues to be added, with what this means for employment and to continue generating wealth not only for our municipality but for the north of the island”.

Phe Festival It is organized by Phenomenal and Imoa Productions with the promotion of the Puerto de la Cruz City Council. It also has the sponsorship of the Government of the Canary Islands through the Canarian Institute of Cultural Development and the General Directorate of Youth, as well as the Cabildo de Tenerife.

Safety and prevention measures in Phe 2021

Posted on 16 de August de 202116 de August de 2021 by Nana

The celebration of Phe Festival it is practically a miracle. And yet, in this 2021 that has been a roller coaster, the fundamental motivation to keep going has been our love for music and culture, understood in the most authentic and healthy way.

No one is unaware that prevention regulations greatly restrict mobility and the experience of a festival like this. But the emotion of the live concerts with the great artists who are part of the line-up this year can overcome everything and we are sure to enjoy it, yes, with the utmost responsibility. To do this, at Phe we once again have a Safety and Self-protection Plan that will scrupulously follow the mandatory measures of the health authorities.

So we have to remember, first of all, our cute hashtag that says #EnjoyTheInconvenience.

The concerts of Phe Festival 2021, complying with the terms and conditions of the tickets purchased and alluding to the current situation regarding the pandemic, will take place in a stable enclosure specifically dedicated to this activity on the esplanade of the Puerto de la Cruz pier, where all the people who come will have to remain seated during the performances.

The use of a mask will be mandatory at all times and it is forbidden to access the direct area with food or drink.

Along with the access bracelet, attendees will receive instructions to reserve your seats once you enter the concert venue. The assignment, in this case, will be manual and in order of arrival. Once the location is selected, it cannot be changed during the festival.

The entrance and exit of the premises –adapted to health prevention and safety measures– will be carried out in an orderly and progressive manner, to avoid crowds. The doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the expected closing time is 2:00 a.m.

After finishing each concert there will be a staggered start. At that time, you can remain in your seat or access the adjacent, independent restaurant area with limited capacity, or leave the venue for the streets of Puerto de la Cruz, to return later and enjoy the following live shows. It is recommended to maintain the current safety distance at all times.

Ph 2021 will have Market/Food zone independent of the concert venue and with controlled capacity. It will be installed next to the direct space and will function as a summer terrace where it will be possible to access the restaurant offer.

The measures that will be applied in this space oblige to consume only while staying at the tables and areas enabled for it. The mask must be worn at all times except when consuming food or drink.

It is also recommended do not wander around the premises more than necessary and circulate in the direction indicated by the signs.

Payments in bars will be made with the cashless access bracelet that they will receive at the box office When exchanging the subscription and inside the enclosure you will find recharging points where you can pay with card and cash.

It will be available in the premises of Ph 2021 signaling to organize the movement of people in a circular manner, for which there will also be service personnel and adequate information.

In addition, hydroalcoholic gel dispensers will be made available to attendees so that they can use it regularly. There will also be Continuous cleaning and disinfection of the different spaces.

With these conditions, quite reasonable for such an unpromising year, we are aware of the limitations, but also of the enormous demand for subscriptions by many phellowers having such a reduced capacity and the sale suspended for weeks.

If you understand that the current situation does not meet the expectations you had when you bought the subscription, exceptionally, the organization of Phe Festival gives you the opportunity to return it and recover the amount (the refund is always made for each purchase made, not for individual installments).

This return period will remain operational from today Monday 16 to Thursday 19, sending your request through this form: HERE

From the beginning, and especially this edition, our attitude has been #Effort so that we can all continue enjoying music and culture in the best conditions. And because without your support this would not make sense.

Thanks for having Phe.

Phe 2021: back to basics

Posted on 4 de August de 2021 by Nana

Time to step forward and that live music Phe Festival ring again in Puerto de la Cruz. Returning to its original venue, the dock esplanade, where attendees will find on August 20 and 21 a complete sound experience to enjoy in the best company and with the utmost responsibility.

We continue day by day with #GanasDeEfuerzo so that we can have a sixth edition of Phe in the best possible conditions. We will adapt our cultural venue to current health regulations, and the event will take place with an exhaustive security protocol for the public, artists and the entire team involved in the organization. Of course, we also have the collaboration –exquisite as always– of all those who will accompany us to inhabit the sunset of Puerto de la Cruz for another year. So the concerts will have to be seen sitting and sitting, as specified in the entry terms and conditions published on our website, making use of the mask and you will not be able to drink or eat in front of the stage.

Given that offering a complete festival experience has always been our goal, among the measures we have decided to adopt –waiting for what the evolution of both the regulations and the pandemic brings us– are that of enable an outdoor terrace in an area attached to the concert hall, in which we will have a restaurant area where you can have a drink and access a varied gastronomic offer, along with a small selection of brands that will make up our market.

If already in 2020 we face one of the most complex editions, this year our commitment remains intact: to demonstrate that cultural shows can be held with guarantees, in such a complicated and uncertain context. And we do it with the conviction that we must continue supporting live music, supporting the tourism sector in the islands and proposing more culture with sustainable attitudes.

We also completed the poster of Ph 2021 with the confirmations of Bizarro Love Triangle, Rufus T. Firefly and Mel Ömana, who will join the concert days of the August 20 and 21 to the great direct of Zahara, Rigoberta Bandini, Anne Tijoux, Women, Biznaga, A lot, jack bison _june or Pat Llombet. The sale of subscriptions and tickets is still stopped, since we have covered the capacity allowed by current regulations.

We continue to give infinite thanks to public which has exceeded our expectations for yet another year with its response to this 2021 edition marked by uncertainty. Of course, at Cross port for their involvement in the project –especially the staff of the Culture Area– to the sponsors, collaborators, agencies, companies, artists and workers who have also felt Phe Festival.

We temporarily stop the sale of subscriptions and tickets for Phe 2021

Posted on 14 de July de 202114 de July de 2021 by Nana

On Phe Festival We are not oblivious to the uncertainty that has been generated in terms of holding events, especially after the restrictions that have been adopted by the authorities to stop the uptick in infections in recent weeks. Added to this is the uneasiness generated by the lack of definition of a regulated legal framework that allows us to work normally in the 2021 edition of the festival.

In this context, we have been forced to make the complicated decision to stop the sale of subscriptions and tickets since we currently have the capacity allowed by current regulations covered.

We will continue to put all our efforts so that we can live the full Phe experience in the best possible conditions. Like last year, current prevention regulations will be respected, according to the indications of the Government of the Canary Islands, and the event will take place with a security protocol. In this way, to this day it is still mandatory the use of a mask, hydroalcoholic gel, interpersonal safety distance as well as pre-assigned seats.

We will not tire of thanking our public for their unconditional support, Cross port for their involvement in the project –especially the staff of the Culture Area– to the sponsors, collaborators, agencies, companies, artists and workers they feel too Phe Festival. Our commitment to them, as well as to the live music industry, the islands' tourism sector and culture with sustainable attitudes remains intact.

In the meantime, take good care of yourselves.

There's less left to see each other...
…because we still have Phe.
