Last Friday, April 19, the promotional video for the Bancalet brand was presented, which converts the sounds of the Marina Alta in the music of the spot, by the Dianense composer Javier Pinto. And just a few days later the video of the "making of" of the music was presented, in which you can see how Pinto has been capturing those characteristic sounds and including them in a very special music.
The work “Sentir La Marina” brings together sounds collected in different places in the region. What does La Marina Alta sound like? To town bell towers, to the footsteps of farmers on the land, to boats arriving at the port, to reeds swaying in the wind, to the silence of wineries, to crafts in the squares... All these sounds and many more are part of the work «Sentir La Marina", the music that accompanies the presentation spot of Bancalet, the brand of the agri-food sector of the Marina Alta.
«The region can be told in many ways. We wanted to do it in a visual, clear way, showing our territory. But also in a different way, through music, which is also one of our products that identify us, incorporating those sounds, rhythms and even silences that are so ours to a melody that will accompany the landscapes of the Marina Alta," said the composer. Javier Pinto.
More than 50 brands are already part of Bancalet, a brand that unites, identifies and promotes the agri-food sector of the Marina Alta. An initiative launched by the Dénia City Council and that, in just a few weeks of filming, has already achieved the interest and request of more than 50 members. Bancalet brings together producers, merchants, hoteliers, artisans, tourism companies and entities related to gastronomy and preservation of the culture of the Marina Alta.
