Antonio Travé (El Oso de Benalúa) is a restless musician whose passion for music has led him to explore various styles, including psychedelic pop-rock with Elemento Desierto, folk with El Osombroso y Sonriente Folk de las Badlands, blues-rock with Chicken Congress, and blues with El Oso y sus Sabandijas. The Granada native is a guitarist, singer, harmonica player, and producer who has released more than ten albums throughout his career. He has also produced albums such as Devil Inside and Roots by La Pana Brothers and Bad Lands Blues by Fernando Beiztegui y los Culpables. He also maintains an intense live performance schedule, particularly with El Oso y sus Sabandijas.
The band is made up of El Oso de Benalúa on vocals, guitars, and harmonica; Toni Molina Moya on guitar; Dani Levy on double bass and electric bass; and Giggs Nother on drums. Molina Moya is a regular collaborator on all Travé’s projects and one of the most important guitarists on the Andalusian scene. Levy is a highly versatile musician with extensive experience who has collaborated with figures such as Ñaco Goñi, Mingo Balaguer, and Richard Ray Farrell (USA). Giggs Nother is a flamenco percussionist, producer, and blues and jazz drummer.
