“Music below the Stars” cycle 2024

With this show, Pep Sala alone transports the audience through the most emblematic songs of his long musical career, fusing songs from Sau, Pep Sala & La Banda del Bar and Pep Sala. But far from being an intimate show, as the concert progresses, it invites the spectators to moments of nostalgia, with the acoustic guitar or the piano, and also catapults them to more energetic and intense moments, either on the piano or with the guitar electric and its vibrant solos. There are no shortage of touches of humor, anecdotes and curiosities that arise between songs, creating an interaction and direct complicity with the artist and the audience.

Show: “Pep Sala Bàsic”

Two sessions, at 10:00 pm. and at 11:00 p.m.
