Carles Benavent Trio
Carles Benavent — bass
Roger Mas — vocals
Toni Pagès — drums, percussion
The convergence of these three musicians yields a singular proposal where song, jazz, and Mediterranean roots converse with natural ease. Carles Benavent — a pivotal figure in the evolution of the bass in flamenco and jazz; Roger Mas — one of the most distinctive voices in Spanish singer-songwriter tradition; Toni Pagès — a drummer of exceptional sensitivity and versatility. Together, they craft an intimate yet open sonic space, inviting exploration and spontaneity.
The repertoire moves fluidly between original compositions and reinterpretations, presented in a stripped-down trio format that emphasizes expressivity, nuance, and real-time interaction. The voice functions as an equal instrument within the ensemble, while bass and percussion weave a rich, textural, and rhythmically vital accompaniment.
The result is a deeply poetic concert where tradition and modernity meet in a direct, elegant, and profoundly communicative musical language.
