Tercera fase del Concurso de Murgas Adultas - Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife 2027verified
Third qualifying night of the adult murga contest at the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival 2027, held at the Recinto Ferial. Each phase is a qualifying round in which the groups perform in turn before the jury and only some carry on towards the final. Murgas sing satirical lyrics about the year's events over percussion, in their own costume and with staging rehearsed for months. The session on 3 February 2027 begins at 20:30.
Third qualifying night of the adult murga contest at the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival 2027. Murgas are groups of dozens of members who take the stage in a costume designed for that year and sing, backed by percussion, satirical lyrics about what has happened in the city and in the country. A new repertoire is written for each carnival, and much of the audience's verdict depends on the aim of the text: who is being singled out, how wittily, and with how much mischief. Alongside that, the tuning of the ensemble, the rhythm and the choreography all count, worked on for months before they step on stage.
The phases are the knockout rounds of the competition: in each one a set of murgas performs in turn before the jury, and only the best rated carry on towards the final. This third phase takes place on Wednesday 3 February 2027 at 20:30 at the Recinto Ferial de Tenerife, the exhibition hall on Calle Alcalde José Emilio García Gómez in the Cabo Llanos area of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The sessions are long and heavily attended, so it is worth arriving early and expecting a late night.
