León Benavente
This 2024 will see the release of Nueva sinfonía sobre el caos, a short and direct work, songs that are classic in structure but brave and risky in form, powerful and danceable, hedonistic and, at the same time, reflective. A set of voices and instruments, rhythms and textures that represent for León Benavente the symphony of a new time in which it seems that living fast is the only solution to a constant unknown.
They will present this new album on an extensive tour of Spain, with which they will also cross the pond again, visiting several Latin American countries.

The “Xenerais da Ulla” is the most outstanding feature of the Ulla region’s traditional Carnival. It has been held in the surroundings of Santiago since the first half of the 19th century: the “Xenerais” (generals) ride on horseback, dressed in colourful military garments similar to those of that time, but they also include purely carnivalesque adornments, which the horses also wear.
