Mazoni's new album and a series about friendship: what you can't miss this week
What you may have missed and what you definitely can't miss: the cultural and leisure activities of 'Ara Domingo'
The week that begins, with Jordi Garrigós
Some of the things we hope not to miss in the next seven days
I will buy Flags for colorblind people, Mazoni's new album. It's not only a physical return to Jaume Pla, a musician who voluntarily stepped away from the stage for a while, but also a revisit to the earliest Mazoni, the one with the great melodies and choruses of his early days. An album of beautiful songs -A little corner of peace for everyone, Chains no longer bind me., Faith in sadness- and middle-aged reflections that expand the rich catalogue of themes of the Empordà native.
I will listen the new Catalan literature podcast The Back CoverIt is directed by two renowned figures in the field—Clàudia Rius and Pep Antoni Roig—and fills a glaring gap: the history of great writers in our language. The first two highlights of the program, which appears under the umbrella of Barcino Publishing and the Carulla Foundation, are dedicated to Josep Pla and Ausiàs March.
I will go at the presentation of Juarma's third novel, Poetics of self-destruction, with which the author of Deifontes closes the magnificent trilogy in the Villa de la Fuente universe. He'll be talking about it at Casa Blackie (Providencia, 29, Barcelona) next Wednesday alongside Flixán-born Joan Ferrús, one of the best comedy screenwriters in this country. The connection between them? Life in rural settings filled with stories of love and hardship.
The week that ends, with Thaïs Gutiérrez Vinyets
Notes on what we have seen, heard, tasted and, ultimately, experienced in the last seven days
I'm enjoying it much of the second season of the series Platonic, which premiered on Apple TV and reunites us with Will and Sylvia, two friends with contrasting lifestyles—she's a mother of three and a housewife, while he works in a bar and leads a rather hectic life. In this second season, the story takes a turn when Will gets engaged to a girl and they begin planning the wedding with Sylvia's help. Short episodes, lots of laughs, and the great Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are more than enough reason to get hooked.
I have read Stellar moments of humanity, the book by Stefan Zweig published by Quaderns Crema, considered the German writer's most famous work. The book collects fourteen fascinating stories that in some way capture fundamental moments in human history. From the fall of Byzantium to the discovery of the Pacific and Lenin's journey to Russia in 1917. A book full of fascinating characters that allows you to travel throughout history with its protagonists.
I have gone at the Fundació Miró to see the exhibition Poetry has barely begun, which opened in June and kicked off the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of this facility. The exhibition explores key moments in the foundation's history and is a good excuse to climb Montjuïc and then enjoy the permanent collection.
I couldn't stop thinking about The Instagram account that made me laugh the most this summer. It's @celimonde, the account of an anonymous girl who analyzes celebrity outfits and influencers With much more grace than many regular commentators. He already has more than 120,000 followers and, with his own hilarious language, he manages to captivate with his quirky review of the style ideas of the most famous faces.
