A serene emotion, great performances, and the desire to stand firm against cultural destruction and wars characterized the tribute he received. Joan Ramon Bonet Saturday at the Teatro Principal in Inca. "It was very exciting and I had a great time," Bonet said at a brief press conference after the event, seated between Maria del Mar Bonet, his younger sister, and Joan Manuel Serrat, a friend since the days of Setze Jutges.

More than 100,000 tickets are on sale. This is the projected capacity for the 2026 edition of Guitar Bcn, the festival organized by the promoter The Project and directed by Judit Llimós. With 85% of the lineup finalized, there will be 47 concerts in 14 venues of varying sizes, from the Palau Sant Jordi to La [2] at the Apolo. "With artists like Valeria Castro, who is making her debut at the Palau Sant Jordi, and other emerging acts like Roserona and Depol," explains Llimós.

Another impressive concert by Maria del Mar Bonet? Yes, another impressive concert by Maria del Mar Bonet. This time, at the Oriol Martorell Hall of L'Auditori de Barcelona to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the performance at the Olympia in Paris, which was immortalized in an album that has just been reissued. But just enough nostalgia because, as she sings in To alenarThe Mallorcan singer's entire journey "will be to move forward," and she maintains her voice, her intention, and her enthusiasm for moving forward. It's hard to find an artist like Maria del Mar Bonet in the world, so majestic and attentive to the popular and poetic legacy, and so influential on young musicians. This is corroborated by Maria Hein, 21, for whom Bonet is an inspiration, "not only as a singer and songwriter".

"It was a fantastic spring in Paris," recalls Maria del Mar Bonet about April 27, 1975. On her 28th birthday, the Mallorcan singer performed at the Olympia. "It's a somewhat cumbersome theater, not as welcoming as the Palau de la Música, but you still feel the weight of history, of all the musicians who have passed through," she explains at a luncheon with the press at the Moka restaurant on Barcelona's Rambla. On the table is a vinyl copy of the brand-new, in both form and substance, reissue of the album. At the Olympia recorded on April 27th fifty years ago. There is also a copy of the vinyl that Ariola released in 1975. They look similar, but they are not the same because María del Mar Bonet wanted to make "a new vision of the album."

This edition of Primavera Sound, starting this Thursday at the Parc del Fòrum and lasting until June 12, is meant to be a celebration of the return of pre-pandemic conditions, especially for the concerts held this weekend and on the 9th, 10th and 11th. Euphoria is the feeling the music industry is chasing and Primavera Sound is in a position to facilitate it: over 650 concerts spread over the 16 stages of the Fòrum and the 14 venues and halls across the city. Everything is set to break records because capacity is growing (up to 80,000 people a day) and because the new distribution of the two main stages, next to each other as in Santa Coloma de Gramenet's Rock Fest, instead of facing each other, increases capacity.
