Railway history of Spain</em>“Wow!” exclaims Borja Penalba (Valencia, 1975). Indeed, more than sixty years have passed since Lluís Serrahima, Miquel Porter, and Jaume Armengol wrote this song, back in the days of Setze Jutges. “Everything changes, nothing changes, / look at the train, look at the track. / If you think about it and observe well, / you’ll already know philosophy. / A thousand speeches, few resources, / it’s the daily bread,” say the first verses of that litany that no one had released on a record until Joan Manuel Serrat included it on the album <em>From a time, from a country</em>, the recording of the concert at the Palau Sant Jordi in 1996.</p>]]></description>

The artistic and personal connection between the two is evident on stage and when they speak to the press. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that Meritxell Gené (Lleida, 1986) and <a href="https://en.ara.cat/culture/was-feeling-healthier-than-ever-and-then-ms-came-along_128_5293254.html" target="_blank">Ivette Navidad</a> (Granollers, 1988), all ten poets and singer-songwriters, have revived the Les Kol·lontai project. Together they have made <em>Adeleradas</em> (Under the Palm Tree, 2024), an album they're performing live in concerts like the one on May 24th at Barcelona's Paral·lel 62, as part of the Barnasants festival program. "Although we live in very different geographical locations, we've been friends on and off stage for many years. The most feminist act we have is our basic friendship. We understand each other very well," Nadal states.</p>]]></description>
