The Hot Club Tenerife is a group formed by regional musicians united by the passion for swing music and improvisation, with a varied repertoire that encompasses some of the most emblematic songs in the style, which have been meticulously selected and enriched with their personal touch. From the immortal classics of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli to contemporary swing pieces, with which to transport the audience to a golden era where music had the power to make people tremble with its energy.
Its performances packed with virtuosity and the unmistakeable sound of the acoustic guitar, accordion, bass, and the magic of the clarinet combine to create a magical and lively atmosphere that invites the audience to dance and immerse themselves in the fascinating world of swing.
In this case, the group will involve the clarinettist Kepa Martínez as a soloist, who will provide the classic sound of swing with his instrument.
Kepa Martínez completed his studies in Modern Music and Jazz at the Higher Conservatoire of the Canaries in 2018, specialising in clarinet. Since then, he has continued his training with musicians of international renown and has collaborated with several groups on the Canarian scene (Big Band de Canarias, Nicotine Swing, Ida Susal, Muita Mare, etc.), playing at some of the most important festivals nationally and internationally, and he received the Archipiélago Award for Emerging Artist from Kike Perdomo. He has participated in the recording of several jazz records and currently combines his activity as a clarinettist with work as a teacher at the Professional Music Conservatoire of the Canaries.
