Pep Gimeno 'Botifarra'

Josep Gimeno i Montell, known artistically as Pep Gimeno 'Botifarra', is a traditional Valencian singer recognized for his effort towards the compilation and preservation of his own musical culture. He began this work in 1976 touring his region, la Costera, and other neighbouring areas in order to tape old people and recover, enhance and adapt the oral tradition. It was thirty years later when he recorded his first album, Si em pose a cantar cançons (Cambra Records), which has been followed by ten others, either solo or in collaboration with Ahmed Touzani, Pau Chafer or Quico el Célio, El Noi i El Mut De Ferreries. Fira Trovam hosts the world premiere of his new show.
