Aura Mauri vocals · Biel Harper piano · Gorka Benítez saxophone and flute · Juan Pastor double bass · Adrià Claramunt drums
Aura & Biel was born from the artistic connection between singer Aura Mauri and pianist Biel Harper. Together they shaped their debut album, Instants, after becoming finalists in the Jazz category of the Juventudes Musicales de España competition. Since then, they have toured extensively across the country, performing in venues and festivals such as La Pedrera, the Palafrugell Jazz Festival, Sea Jazz l’Estartit, and many others.
For their upcoming album, they have brought together the lyrical voice of Juan Pastor on double bass and the groove of Adrià Claramunt on drums. Together, they explore both original compositions and reinterpretations of music that inspires them, using jazz as their common language while venturing into intimate and contemporary soundscapes. At the same time, they capture the energy and spirit that define this new generation of young musicians.
As the latest addition to the project, they welcome one of the country’s great masters of melody, saxophonist and flautist Gorka Benítez. His strength, poetic sensibility, and soaring musical voice bring a new dimension to the group.
