Charanga Alhiguí

The creation of the Charanga Alhiguí was based on an original idea by José Hornero Gamito, the former president of the Peñas Association and also president of this fledgling band at the time. He was responsible for contacting various local musicians, almost all of whom belonged to the Miguelturra Municipal Band, to help bring this project to fruition.

Little by little, these same members attract other colleagues from the same group and from the music conservatory, who, on a temporary or permanent basis, end up providing a solid and increasingly high-quality education.

A benchmark in the province of Ciudad Real

Since its creation, it has visited much of the province of Ciudad Real, livening up festivals in other towns as well as its own. It has also participated in several brass band gatherings and created its own, which is held every year during the patron saint’s day festivities.

Currently, this band is a benchmark in the area, having won several band competitions and bringing its touch of joy wherever needed, not only through the performance of its songs, but also through its great ability to interact and engage the audience.
