Synopsis:

​

Pep Gimeno "Botifarra" is not only a portentous singer, he is, above all, a persevering compiler of traditional Valencian song. Throughout his life he has searched for and recovered all the songs that have been put at his disposal. But, at the same time and because of his interest in popular culture, he has become a deep connoisseur of popular literature: fables, sayings, sentences, riddles, jokes and anecdotes. And so, Pep Gimeno "Botifarra" has become a successful singer, loved throughout the Mediterranean, because at the base of this whole story we find a humble and transparent person, a tireless seeker of songs, culture and memory.
