Nadal is coming, and that means La Marató's album is finally here! From TV3. The Ludwig Band, El Pot Petit, Els Catarres, and Manolo García are some of the artists featured on this charity album, which will be available this Sunday with major newspapers, including ARA, for €12. Everyone who buys this edition will receive a link to download the album to other devices. The digital version will be available through Apple Music, and a special USB version is also available, sold exclusively at the 3Cat store. This year's Marathon will take place on December 14th and will be hosted by... Ramon Pellicer, presenter ofNewscast weekend from TV3 until September of that year.

Los Catarres reach their fifteenth anniversary with the album Paratroopers (Halley Records, 2025), and a certain peace. They still sprinkle some songs with electronic rhythms, but remain faithful to conventional instrumentation and distance themselves from so-called urban music. Roser Cruells, Jan Riera, and Èric Vergés speak a few days before launching a tour that begins on May 4th on the steps of Girona Cathedral, as part of the Strenes Festival program.

With a lineup comprised exclusively of musicians who sing in Catalan, as is their trademark, the Campllong Musicant Festival will hold its new edition from June 25th to 29th. It will include a gastronomic space, the MusicanTast, where spectators can sample local cuisine. This year's guest musicians are Els Catarres, who will perform in Campllong on the 27th as part of their tour to present their new album; soprano Mireia Tarragó and musician Bernardo Rambeaud, who will open the festival on the 25th with a performance in the parish church, interpreting pieces by Toldrà, Cassadó, and Morera; singer Mariona Escoda, who will sing songs from her new album on the 26th, accompanied by her band; Manu Guix, with a review of the songs that have established him as one of the most acclaimed performers of Catalan music (the 28th); and island singer-songwriter Tomeu Penya, who will close the festival on the 29th with a performance as part of his 45th Anniversary Tour. The concerts will be held in the church square and inside the church.
