Pep Gimeno "Botifarra" grew up in Vall d'Albaida listening to the songs of his grandparents, in particular those of uela Otilia de Benicàssim, and, at a very young age, he became interested in oral traditions. Referencing the group Al Tall, he began to build an artistic career based on the revival of traditional local music, in a world in which the use of Valencian language was being regained.
At this concert, he will be joined by pianist and arranger Pau Cháfer, performing a series of cançons oblidades (forgotten songs), in a version for symphony band, to the rhythms of a petenera, bolero, habanera, mazurca and xàquera. For enthusiasts of popular culture, this is a show not to be missed.
