Some 7,000 people welcomed the summer on the first night of the Fuerteventura en Música 2025 festival. La Playa de la Concha vibrated to the rhythm of the big headliners of this year: the supergroup G-5, formed by veterans Kiko Veneno, Muchachito, El Canijo de Jerez and Diego Ratón (Los Delinquentes), and Tomasito.
As usual, the first musical notes were played by The Plunger Dixie Band. Lively swing and jazz tunes led the first attendees from the square of El Cotillo to the beach of La Concha, as part of the program of the daytime FEM.
With the sunset of El Cotillo as a backdrop, the band Rabiche, led by the majorero José Antonio Fajardo, offered the first concert, by five Canarian musicians with a remarkable career in the insular and national market.
Next, the feminine sacredness of Natalia Doco summoned the moon to La Concha Beach. The artist offered her songs inspired by her South American roots and the ancestral feminine power of her multiple voices.
Later, Calle Mambo, a group from Chile, presented songs from their third album Retumba la Tierra. The FEM stage was impregnated with their Latin music and their own sound that unites Latin American folklore with the modernity of electronic beats and urban music. They offered an authentic journey through the entire Latin American continent by means of instruments such as the charango, the tiple or the quenacho.
Calle Mambo gave way to the groove of Lehmanns Brothers, a band born in Angoulême (France) under the influence of great funk musicians such as Prince and D’Angelo. The young Frenchmen revisited the famous jazz-funk of the seventies, combined with echoes of hip-hop, house and nu-soul. They demonstrated their live potential, which they have already proven on numerous tours in France and other countries such as Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy and England.
After the elegant funk sound of Lehmanns Brothers, came one of the most anticipated moments of the night. The musicians Kiko Veneno, Muchachito, El Canijo de Jerez, Diego Ratón and Tomasito took the stage at FEM 2025. Big names in flamenco-rock presented the songs from their new album El que quiera dormir que se compre una colchoneta. In 2024, they came together again for the composition and recording of these new songs. The night was also enlivened by DJ Carballeira, who defines himself as an urbanist of sound and its expression in the form of music, who was also in charge of closing the Friday concerts of the FEM 2025 festival.
