Silento is a duo formed by the Valencian musicians Celina Jiménez and Ana Ferrer, two artists who began performing together at a very young age and over the years have performed in different countries as a duo. Based in Berlin, Celina Jiménez works as a lyric singer and has performed in emblematic venues such as the Juan March Foundation in Madrid and the main hall of the Berlin Philharmonic. Ana Ferrer, guitarist and composer, graduated in classical guitar at the ESMUC (Barcelona) and holds a Master's degree in Music from the UPV. Beyond their training and activity, both show a great interest in musical traditions and experimentation.
Their concerts are characterised by creating a close and emotional atmosphere, with a careful selection of repertoire that includes folk pieces, singer-songwriters' songs, their own compositions and traditional music, all of them arranged with a personal language full of creativity.
In De València i ultramar, with an intimate and acoustic format (two voices, a guitar and small percussions), Silento offers a concert fed by a selection of their own compositions and original arrangements that cover multiple fields: the copla of Concha Piquer, Sephardic music, traditional Valencian songs related to everyday work or parenting, the poetic world of Federico García Lorca, the decadence of the Viennese waltz, or Argentine tangos.
Celina Jiménez (voice and percussion), Ana Ferrer (guitar).
