Acid Blue
Acid Blue formed in 2009 in Puerto de la Cruz, North Tenerife, with the talent of relatively young musicians Sergio Garcia on Sax, Alfonso Trujillo on Bass, Luis Saurez on Percussion, Akior Garcia on Drums and Francisco Galan on Guitar. This instrumental quintet draws its inspiration from artists such as Chick Corea, John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Jobim, bringing standards to life with an adventurous, fresh approach and distinct Brazilian flavour. In addition to their unique reworking of some jazz classics from the last century, Acid Blue are active composers and arrangers, with several original studio works. Frequently, the band can be seen performing live throughout the Canary Islands, and are gaining a reputation as one of this island’s jazz prodigies.
Benito Cabrera
Over 20 years ago, Benito Cabrera released “Concierto de Timple”, his first of 8 studio albums. His instrument of choice, the Timple, has been included in traditional Canarian music for centuries, and although Benito is influenced by this heritage, he is adventerous with his arrangements, introducing both classical and contemporary melodies and arrangements. His second album, “Timple y Orquesta”, featured the Tenerife Symphonic Orchestra, and still remains the only recording ever made of a Symphonic orchestra with the addition of the timple. His live tours and concerts are world renowned, with performances in Cuba, New York, Texas, Japan, Argentina, Berlin and many other countries. In 2009, Benito Cabrera released a compilation CD of his works over the previous 20 years, a true revelation of this maestro’s evolution, adaptation and integrity.
Beselch Rodriguez
Born in La Laguna in 1984, at the age of twelve Beselch Rodriguez received his first Timple as a Christmas present from his grandfather, and by 1998 he was sharing the stage with many of the island's folkloric groups. In 2009, he debuted his first studio album, “In-Differente”, a radical fusion of traditional Canarian Island Timple styles, Bossa, Jazz and World influences. The album mainly consists of original compositions, and was co-produced by Beselch and Marco de Castillo, who also played guitar on this project, joined by Kiko Leon on Drums, Carlos Perdomo on Electric Bass, Sisi de Castillo on Percussion and Pablo Diaz on Flute. Having broken many traditional musical boundaries with critical acclamation, Beselch has recently found himself in the international spotlight, recently representing the Canary Islands in a major Cost Rican World Music Festival, though he still remains very active on the local festival scene.
The Jeremías Martín Group

Korsak
Korsak has established itself as one of these Island’s most formidable Acoustic Rock Groups, focussed upon their own original works which are created with thought provoking lyrics and rhythmic, organic sounds.

In 2009, the band released “Free Feet”, a studio album consisting of 13 original compositions, recorded and edited in Tenerife with the collaboration of Kike Perdomo and Dremen.
