Arrecife de Mar y Música | Ten-sión 4

 Ten-sión 4 in Arrecife de Mar y Música: contemporary percussion on Lanzarote

The innovative concert series “Arrecife de Mar y Música” continues to boost the island’s cultural life with the participation of Ten-sión 4, a percussion quartet that explores the infinite possibilities of contemporary sound. This group, made up of musicians of renowned experience, proposes a sonorous journey that brings together different aesthetics, from the minimalism of Steve Reich to the experimental explorations of John Cage, passing through the rhythmic lyricism of N.J. Zivkovic and creations by the Canarian composer Nino Díaz.

The repertoire is articulated around works that challenge the listener and celebrate percussion as the protagonist of today’s musical language. Pieces such as Pieces of Wood or But What About the Noise… are combined with the subtlety of Fade Out #12, contributing to an intense and suggestive scenic experience.
Ten-sión 4 is formed by Paco Díaz, timpani soloist with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife and director of the Festival de Música Contemporánea de Tenerife; Emilio Díaz, trained in Amsterdam and member of the Sinfónica de Tenerife; Charli Llácer, who has been a member of groups such as Neopercusión and collaborates with national and international orchestras; and Juan Miñana, active in both symphonic performance and experimental music with the group Six Ensemble.
This concert is part of the programme developed by the Nino Díaz Foundation together with Cultura Arrecife, committed to opening new spaces for contemporary creation and bringing innovative artistic proposals to residents and visitors.
