Borja Penalba at The Bitter EndInternationally acclaimed Mediterranean songwriter—live in New York for one night only.Borja Penalba is a composer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist whose work moves between raw intimacy and quiet intensity. Long revered in the Catalan music scene, he has built a reputation as both a singular voice and a sought-after collaborator—an artist capable of turning silence, space, and restraint into something deeply magnetic.This special concert will be recorded live for an upcoming album, capturing the electricity of the room, the fragility between notes, and the unrepeatable connection between artist and audience. A rare chance to witness a performance that will live far beyond the night itself.At the center is Giròvag, his latest project—a body of work shaped by movement, instinct, and a refusal to settle. A wanderer’s record in every sense, carried by a voice that shifts between confession and fire.Having performed across Europe, North Africa, and the Americas—from the Acropolis of Athens to the Cairo Opera House—Penalba brings a truly international presence to an intimate New York stage.There are echoes of Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, and Bob Dylan—but his voice is unmistakably his own: stripped down, searching, and deeply human.In a room like the Bitter End, there’s nowhere to hide—and nothing to dilute the experience.One night. Live recording. Limited capacity
