Unión Musical de Gata de Gorgos (Alicante)

For more than 150 years, Gata has had a well-known cultural entity such as the Gata de Gorgos Musical Union, which includes both the adult and youth bands and performs concerts at different festive events.

The Unión Musical Gata was born in 1870 when the city council approached the musician from La Safor, Ricardo González Blasco, in order to teach music fans in the municipality and thus plant the seed of a future musical band that would liven up the official events - popular and religious events - that were celebrated in the town. Today, the Gata music band is one of the largest associative groups and has welcomed the greatest number of generations in the town throughout its history.

Currently its director is Salvador Tur Savall.
