It is a tribute to equality through culture, music, literature, cinema, and sustainability.

In a very high percentage of festivals worldwide, female artists represent a low percentage of performers, according to various studies carried out in 2017, 2018 and 2019 by the Association of Women and Music.

This first edition will have an all-female line-up. However, future editions will also include the participation of male artists, bands or groups of different musical styles. This first edition includes performances by artists such as Mala Rodríguez, Mon Laferte, Guitarricadelafuente, Silvana Estrada, María José Llergo, Caracoles and Dj Kali.

It is an event that provokes great interest in Tenerife every year and is a ritual for the young women ready to marry. First, they go to La Palmita, where Santa Barbara is located. Then, near the religious monument, the men come with the baskets to meet the single women who hold large baskets decorated with coloured ribbons on their heads. Inside they carry buns with reeds full of miniature figurines.

Santa Barbara is thanked for the harvest and asked for the next one to be as good and that the town girls will find a good husband.

Once the outing is finished, the baskets are placed on the façade of the Church until the festivities end.

The day ends with a typical large street party.

Hence, the town of Tejina goes out of its way to conserve the tradition.

The "Corazones de Tejina" exemplify popular culture mixing festivity with religious fervour and important aspects of high ethnographic and anthropological value. It is celebrated in Tejina - a village located in the northeast of the island of Tenerife, around the 24th of August (on the feast day of San Bartolomé), which proudly raises these beautiful banners every year proclaiming their beauty and exclusivity.

A cross-shaped structure with two wooden hearts, one larger than the other, serves as a base to sew flowers, fruits and flatbread. They are made for the events of the fiestas de San Bartolomé, which are celebrated at the end of August when the three principal areas of the town (El Pico, Calle Arriba and Calle Abajo) carry out the heart they have been embroidering for days.

Then the men carry the hearts to the church square, each weighing up to 900 kilos and 12 meters high, placing them there, where a fun ritual begins in which each one ridicules the other hearts.

In 2004 the International Centre for Heritage Conservation (CICOP) recognised its contribution to regional, national and international culture by awarding it the Canary Islands Special Prize for the Restoration and Conservation of Intangible Heritage.

With the voice of Ann Shine and the live band will pay tribute to the singer of soul, blues and jazz Amy Winehouse.
