Nena Daconte

Nena Daconte is the musical project of Spanish singer and songwriter Mai Meneses. After her brief stint in Operación Triunfo, Mai self-released her first album “He perdido los zapatos” in 2005, which included her famous singles “Idiota” and “En qué estrella estará”, receiving several awards as a revelation group. In 2008, she released her second album “Retales de Carnaval” and the single “Tenía tanto que darte”, one of his best known songs. The following albums would be “Una mosca en el cristal” (2010) and “Sólo muerdo por ti” (2013). After a six-year hiatus would come “Suerte…” (2019) and “Casi perfecto” (2023). In 2024, the artist from Madrid has wanted to have a detail with her fans and perhaps also with her past self, giving a new life to her first song “Vuelve”, together with the musician Chema Moreno.

Siglo XXI (Tribute to Mecano)

Siglo XXI is a band from Alicante that pays tribute to Mecano, one of the most iconic Spanish pop bands of the 80s and 90s. The voice timbre of its singer, Rachel Santos, is very close to that of Ana Torroja, making us travel back in time to songs as well known as “Hoy no me puedo levantar”, “Perdido en mi habitación”, “Barco a Venus”, “Me colé en una fiesta”, “Ay qué pesado” or “Me cuesta tanto olvidarte”.

Keeng (Tribute to Queen)

Keeng is a band formed by five experienced musicians that pays homage to one of the references of rock music of the 20th century. With their own style but respecting the essence of Queen, we will be able to listen to songs such as “We will rock you”, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Crazy little thing called love” or “We are the champions”, among many other songs that have already become universal classics.
