The week ahead, with Jordi Garrigós

Some of the things we hope not to miss in the next seven days

I will visit The complete retrospective of one of the most brilliant and beloved artists of the last fifty years in Girona, Vicenç Huedo.(Nothing) is trueThe exhibition will be shown simultaneously in up to eight museums across the city, including the Girona Art Museum and Cultural Center. It explores the key stages and themes of the painter's work: from landscape to still life, from surrealism to social commitment.

I will remember Remigi Palmero, one of the most unjustly forgotten names in the pop music of the Catalan Countries. Death on Sunday In the past, he was not only the author of the wonderful albumRelative humiditybut with his colleagues, Juli Bustamante and Pep Laguarda, they led the so-called Valencian Mediterranean rock, a delightful movement that navigated between the songs of Ovidi, the roots and the pop of the moment.

I will listen The new album from Daltabaix, the anti-folk duo formed by Xavi García and Ramon Mas. Following their excellent debut,So as not to burn it all downNow they're back with a second batch of exciting, emotional songs, sung with heartfelt emotion. Magnificent lyrics, 100% singable, with just voice and guitar.

The week that is ending, with Thaïs Gutiérrez

Notes on what we have seen, heard, tasted and, in short, experienced in the last seven days

I have reserved On Thursday, February 5th, attend the opening concert of the Winter Eve series at the UB, which will be held in the auditorium of the historic building of the central university, featuring musicians Alba Careta and Henrio, who will present Udulce, a journey through the lullabies of the Càntut project with original arrangements and recited poems by Enric Casasses.

I've started to watch season 5 of Crimes in which some of the most notorious stories from the black chronicle of our country are reviewed, such as the murder of two trainee police officers from Hospitalet de Llobregat in 2004, to which three chapters are dedicated, the crime of a primary school teacher or that of a retired woman from Tarragona, among others.

I bought You will eat flowers by Lucía Solla Published by Libros del Asteroide, this is one of the books that has been most recommended to me in recent weeks. It's a novel about a love story between a young woman and an older man that explores the different facets of love, especially unequal relationships, but also addresses life situations such as grief and the importance of friendship as a refuge and salvation.

I haven't been able to stop thinking The Pepe Carvalho Prize, which this year has been awarded to British novelist Mick Herron, is the creator of the acclaimed series.Slow horses, which has had the famous television version Slow Horses, and other books like Down Cemetery Road, which have also been adapted for television. Herron will be in Barcelona to collect the award, now in its 21st edition, which recognizes him as one of the great contemporary names in British crime fiction.
