"The next edition of the WEF is going at a very good pace. We appreciate the cooperation of the municipality of La Oliva and the involvement of the different services of the Cabildo, especially the Culture Council, to make viable and organize in the best way this festival, which is committed to local artists, such as Tabaiba and Althay Páez, "said President Lloret.
"We encourage the entire population to come and enjoy not only music with an important poster, such as Bomba Estéreo and La Pegatina, but also the incomparable natural environment in which we find ourselves in this new edition of the FEM," said the first island councilor.
For his part, David Hernández Martín, Councilor for Culture of La Oliva, said that the city council collaborates and supports this festival, "which is already rooted in the majorera culture, to continue promoting the FEM, which is already a mark in the Calendar, both for the municipality, as for the neighbors and visitors of Fuerteventura ".
A first-class line-up
The group Bomba Estéreo will headline on the first day, with its rhythms of electronic music fused with rock, reggae, alternative reggaeton and rap with airs of the Colombian Caribbean, such as cumbia and champeta.
The program of the first day is completed by the electronic cumbia of the Mexican Institute of Sound, a project led by Camilo Lara, one of the most influential artists in the culture of that country, with a long career; as well as with the root music of Ara Queen of Drums from Nigeria; the Canarian-Venezuelan group Tabaiba, with its urban rhythms, and the timple of the majorero Althay Páez.
The second day will headline the Spaniards of La Pegatina, with rhythms ranging from merengue to rumba or ska to gypsy punk or hooligan chants, as well as the Canijo de Jerez, who between clapping and guitars will put the flamenco and rock note of the festival.
The programming of the second day is completed with the R&B of the Nigerian Ruth Mahogany; the Canarian Mel Ömana, with his rhythms of Cuban folklore and Latin rap, and the majoreros Saylén and Abora Reggae.
Likewise, this edition of the FEM includes a parallel program of activities organized by the Ministry of Culture together with the cultural association Cotillo Joven to energize the town of El Cotillo, which will take place on June 30, and July 1 and 2.
The program begins with a parade on Friday, June 30, at 19:00 p.m. from the Plaza de El Cotillo, and will continue throughout the weekend with musical workshops for all ages, children's environmental workshops and musical performances.
In collaboration with the City Council of La Oliva, the Cabildo will take the festival to this natural environment, which, as since its inception, will continue to have a vocation for environmental awareness and indie spirit.
