The Tradidanses Festival organized by the Grup de Danses Portitxol de Xàbia reaches its ninth edition this year. Next weekend, on September 24 and 25, the festival will take place under the motto "Cantant a les arrels". A tribute to the Valencian "cantaors" who seek new sonorities to the traditional songs of the terreta. For this reason, els Germans Penalba lead the performances on this Valencian figure in the Tradidanses xabienc.
It will be on Saturday at 20:00 pm at the Plaça de l'Església and, on Sunday, the concert by Josep Aparicio, “Apa”, will be held at 18:00 pm at the Riurau d'Arnauda.
Despite their youth, the Penalba brothers, Jonatan and Christian, are already veterans in the world of music. In recent years, they have released three separate albums (by soca-rel y Reversals first and Changes the second) that have placed them in a prominent position in the Valencian music scene. Now they present this new joint show, accompanied by a luxury instrumental ensemble, in which they combine their styles and particular voice with a traditional Valencian repertoire that takes on new life in the mouths of these two great singers.
On Sunday, at the Riurau d'Arnauda, it will be the turn of Josep Aparicio “Apa”. Godella's has received unanimous praise from colleagues, critics and the public alike, acknowledging his quality as a cantaor. He has several albums, Cants and cants, Flamencianes, Songs to band y Synergies, in which he seeks new paths for traditional Valencian music, exploring other sounds and uniting diverse cultures without losing the north or the roots.
For the Tradidanses, Aparicio has prepared a didactic concert, a special format in which he will combine his most traditional repertoire with explanations of the repertoire as the guiding thread of the concert.
In addition to the concerts, the Tradidanses will have its usual didactic part, with which the Portitxol Group tries to spread the variety of traditional music and dances that exist in our territory. On this occasion the workshop (Sunday 25, at 10:00 a.m. at the CEIP Mediterrania) will focus on the traditional “Ball de bastons” from the town of l'Alcúdia (La Ribera Alta) and will be given by Dansants de l' Alcudia.
Well, in the Valencian community let them sing fandangos, sevillanas, chotis or muñeiras hahaha
This couple of Germans Cristian and Jonatan would be more suited to being called Vicent and Batiste. I don't see it I don't see it, sorry.
I think the same. It's distressing.
Hahahaha
What a piece of pain you have to swallow those of the Terreta with your «Valencian tradition and language»
All for you!!
How awful.
