Pep Gimeno ‘Botifarra’

His name is Josep Gimeno, but on stage it is Pep Botifarra. A character who sings without accompaniment, in many cases, songs that he has learned directly from the old farmers of the Costera region.

Born in the Jewish quarter of Játiva, Pep Botifarra has become one of the best Valencian singer-songwriters in recent decades.

At the Cançons del Mediterrània festival, he presents his new album Ja ve l'aire, a compilation of songs in a female key that, on the album, features the collaborations of Maria Arnal, Noelia Llorens 'Titana', Carmen París and Judit Neddermann.

In his live performances, Pep Gimeno 'Botifarra' is accompanied by a new band made up of Tóbal Rentero, Jordi Pastor, Robert Moreno, Miquel Pérez and Martina Sabariego.
