Benitachell Music Band
The Santa Maria Magdalena Musical Band from Poble Nou de Benitachell has been recognized by the Ministry of Culture of the Valencia Region as a Local Relevance Intangible Asset.
This achievement is a reward for the effort and good work of the musical group towards the preservation of musical tradition and the promotion of Valencia local culture. Official recognition is reflected in the Order 1 / 2011 published in the 6571 Official Gazette of the Valencia Region.
The Poble Nou band was founded in 1987, as recorded in the official publication. From its inception, this musical band -currently consisting of 45 musicians- has had an important social and cultural repercussion in local scene.
The music school, the band as well as its child and youth subsidiaries have been elements of social cohesion both in its internal town activities and its relations with the people of neighboring towns.
Among The Benitachell (close to Cumbre del Sol residential estate) band’s most recent milestones can be mentioned the recording of the first CD last fall called ‘Pas als Pobleros’. This CD -directed by Pedro Vicente Caselles Mulet- includes unpublished works composed entirely by Antonio J. Catalá Buigues, a local musician and director of music school.
Congratulations to all who have contributed towards this achievement and good luck in the labor of spreading the musical culture of Benitachell and the rest of the region.
