The turn gave the minstrels of the hand of David Padilla, the lyrics of Javi ‘El Pechi’ and the tenacity of the campus was to The Grouch to get in 2019 a win in the North who are still sipping. The portuense validated his passport to compete in Santa Cruz for the first time and ensure that they are “with the feeling of the dream fulfilled”. So it expresses its president, Salva Quintero, who finally enjoy the success that wore chasing “for years and years.” Up to 36 posted in your murga.
What was a surprise triumph in the contest of the North?
Surprise no. We had already been on the podium and in 2019 came the big prize for the first time. It was because of the effort and the work of the director of voices of Javi at the front of the murga… and the struggle tremendous these last five years have been very hard.
What targets are marked for 2020?
Our objective is clear: to do a good job and leave a good taste in your mouth when you jump to Santa Cruz on the stage and then go to our contest of the North, that is where we belong.
How to adapt your repertoire to Santa Cruz?
The repertoire is already adapted and is valid for the two sites. For us there has been only a challenge, it is also a pride to sing with the street musicians strong of the capital and the first goal is to enjoy the experience to the fullest.
And you, with what is identified?
I like The Onesies. by the style and way of being.
Who ve candidates to win?
I am not objective. To me what I would like is to win always The Onesies but candidates there are plenty.
Let’s return to your story. Do for you it will be a historic milestone contest in Santa Cruz?
I have 36 years old, although the real change occurs when we change the chip with the arrival of David Padilla. From there, yes, we have been with the best, with third and second prizes. Now comes the First, that is a dream made reality for what it implies, which is to sing in Santa Cruz. We had persiguiendolo too much time. At the age of 61 that I have, I can say that it is now when I reached my dream.
If this is the case, why would the same thing that Trapaseros? (leave the North to focus exclusively on Santa Cruz)
No, we never. We are a murga in the North and belong to the North.
Don’t you think that some collective northerners are cebaron too with Trapaseros by the decision made in the past year?
My opinion I the I book. Anyone who wants to compete in Santa Cruz because they believe that it is your site, enroll in, and concurse. And who sits in the North, which concurse in the North. I speak for us: we never renegaríamos of the North.
How would you define the style of your murga?
The keys are three. To sing well, to have power in the voices and making them laugh without forgetting criticism.
The success of the 19, what has translated in the number of components?
And in the enthusiasm of the fans, which fans had long been looking for this success. This is the first time that a murga of Puerto de la Cruz will participate in Santa Cruz, so we are history. And if you ask me if there has been an increase of components, the reality is that yes, resounding. Now we have 60. Some come from tongue-in-cheek, others of Puertopotras, Ni Pa so Much…
What he thought when he learned that he had played to sing the third of the third phase?
So that we could not have had more luck. I love the post and I love the stage.
Will I notice excited. Arrived here, and what if they spend what?
Because that would then be two dreams fulfilled. Can you imagine Grumpy with the great singing on Friday? We do not put barriers. We are there already, and if it sounds the flute…
