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 renewing the role of the bass in flamenco and jazz; Roger Mas — one of the most distinctive voices in Spanish singer-songwriter tradition; and Toni Pagès — a drummer of remarkable sensitivity and versatility — jointly craft an intimate yet exploratory sonic space.
The repertoire moves between original compositions and reinterpretations, presented in a stripped-down format that emphasizes expressivity, nuance, and real-time interaction. The voice functions as an instrument equal to the others within the trio, while bass and percussion weave a richly textured, rhythmically grounded accompaniment.
The result is a concert of profound poetic resonance, where tradition and modernity meet in a direct, elegant, and deeply communicative musical language.
