11.6.2015 – 24.6.2015 ISLAND CONNECTIONS 748 29 When does a musician become an artist? The answer could be when he or she doesn’t write or perform to please anybody else other than themselves. This theory is evident in Kike Perdomo’s latest studio project, Roots. But before this gem of an album is reviewed, here’s a little history about Kike. Born in Tenerife, he studied music at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Ten- erife and the Escuela de Luis Vecchio, where he mastered the flute and saxophone in addition to learning complex harmonies and improvising. After relocat- ing to the United States and graduating at the Berklee Col- lege of Music in 1989 he began his professional career, which took him to places such as Mex- ico, Argentina, Chile, Germany, Holland, the US, Norway, Den- mark, Switzerland and Cuba. Within Spain, he shared the stage or studio with some of the country’s greatest names such Luz Casal, Joaquín Sabina and Miguel Ros, and whilst overseas he worked alongside some of the world’s most established jazz artists such as Bill Evans, Chano Dominguez and Chuck Loeb. After producing some of this island’s finest albums, and then releasing a few of his own works, he decided to return to his, yes you’ve guessed it: roots. Each of the album’s seven tracks has the essence of an artist’s palette. Experimenting, improvising and articulating the tones of his saxophone, it is overwhelmingly apparent that his confidence matches his pure talent. If your journey into the world of sophistication stops at smooth jazz, then don’t ven- ture any further because this album will be too much for your neurons to process. But within the first few annotations Roots will bring out ear-to-ear grins from any true disciples of the genre. From the swinging first track One-11 to Kike’s lusciously sublime take on Cantaloupe, or the funkily fused Never More, Roots has all of the markings of a classic, timeless jazz mas- terpiece. Made by one of this island’s true musicians and on sale around the world, this album seems like a million light years ahead of what so many have come to accept as ‘Tenerife Disposable Entertain- ment’. Thankfully some things are here to stay. Listen to tracks from Kike Perdo- mo’s Roots on Qfm 94.3. Then when you’re sufficiently addicted, buy yourself a copy from www. zarandarecords.com. n Tenerife Concerts SL proudly presents their latest event, Canarias Reggae Festival 2015. Taking place at the Lago Mar- tiánez in Puerto de La Cruz, the reggae showcase begins at 6.30pm on June 27 and con- tinues until 2.30am. The line-up for the night’s music includes: Ruts & La Isla Music; Dactah Chando and the Binghiband; One Love: Trib- ute to Bob Marley; Baba Sall & Raka Ndao; Dada Wanche; Omar Xerach; La Ciencia; Beat- riz Martín, and many more lively acts. To ensure that residents and tourists enjoy the unique magic of this newly-organised festival, Tenerife Concerts SL is offering ticket deals that include a bus service from the south. They can also recommend a good local hotel should you wish to stay the night. Ticket prices are €12 for entrance only and includes a free beer or €29 for ticket and bus transfer from the south. So where can you book and take advantage of this spe- cial event? If you’re inter- ested in tickets only, you can buy them directly from Ten- erife Concerts’ website, or by visiting Gran Sur in Torviscas, Multicines Puntalarga in Las Caletillas, Cine Victor in Santa Cruz, Loca Maria in La Laguna and La Orotava, and the Lago Martiánez resort in Puerto de La Cruz. If you wish to attend and travel from the south and take advan- tage of the supplied bus serv- ice, this is available from the excursion company, VRT Viajes Reisen Travel’s Global Services SL by calling 922 796 182, or also directly from Tenerife Concerts SL. The service leaves from Isla Bonita in Torviscas at 4pm, Hotel Iberostar Bougan- ville Playa at 4.15pm, Hotel Best Tenerife in Playa de Las Américas at 4.20pm, and the Hotel Sol Princesa Dácil in Los Cristianos at 4.30pm. The bus will leave Puerto de La Cruz to return to the south after the festival at 3am. Reggae has proven to be a powerful live music genre which uplifts any event where it features, and the reggae scene in the Canary Islands has become enormously popu- lar over the past decade. Located in the centre of Puerto de La Cruz, the emblematic Lago Martiánez is to host the reggae festival, which is organised with the collabora- tion of Yeray Fuentes Calle 13 Rec Sonido y Ilumina- cion, and with the sponsor- ship of Foreign Language News, Heineken, WEB Energy Drink, and Pepsi 0. Together they are very proud to present over eight hours of live music and an exciting new festival to the island. Tenerife Concerts SL was founded in July 2014, and Fredy Vespremi and his busi- ness partner, Erik Rikkers, have a clear focus and huge ambition to make the com- pany widely recognised and bring as many top acts to the Islands as possible. They recently announced an online club card initiative available from the company’s website that allows you to join for free and take advantage of numer- ous benefits. All booking pro- cedures are set up on the web- site too, meaning it’s possible to browse for concerts, reserve places, pay online and print out your tickets without leav- ing the same webpage. “This is a one-stop-shop that offers the best live music shows at affordable prices” Fredy said of the new scheme that he hopes will set Tenerife Con- certs apart from the competi- tors and encourage the nec- essary growth to attract big names to the island. “We want to be a professional agency that artists can put complete faith in”, he said, pointing to the perfect start with the Earth, Wind & Fire Experience concert in November last year, and Parole, Parole, Parole: The Mina Tribute in Decem- ber 2014 and March this year – concerts that were staged at the Magma Art & Congress Centre in Costa Adeje and the Infanta Leonor Auditorium in Los Cristianos.
