Polo Ortí and Palo!, two top acts in the closing stages of the Festival Canarias Jazz & Más Heineken in Puerto de la Cruz

Puerto de la Cruz will experience an intense weekend of jazz with five concerts featuring different styles of the genre, but with jazz as the common link between them. The 26th edition of the Festival Canarias Jazz & Más Heineken closes in the northern municipality of the island with concerts staged over two sessions (Saturday 22 & Sunday 23), featuring local groups with fairly extensive musical trajectories, like the Polo Ortí Group (pianist from Tenerife, now resident in Valencia), Powafunk (led by the saxophonist from Gran Canaria Charlie Moreno, based in Barcelona) and Tirando Onda, a local band but with lots of Brazilean musical influences. This concert, under the heading of “D’Canarios” will take place on Saturday ((21.00 hours, public square – Plaza Europa). The stellar closing concert will be held on Sunday featuring two US groups, but with distinctive styles. On the one hand, the rhythm & blues of King Solomon Hicks, and on the other, the Afro-Cuban Funk of Palo! (Sunday, same time & place). + INFO
