Program
The Catalan singer-songwriter and artist Teresa Rebull (1919-2015) was, above all, a passionate and revolutionary woman. She never gave up on her political ideals, her actions were always completely consistent, and she always flew the banner of freedom. An activist and political campaigner, an artist, a singer and a painter… her biography is as rich as it is full of contrasts. Popularly known as the Grandmother of the Nova Cançó movement, she has inspired a show in which music and words take centre stage based on covers of Rebull’s own iconic tracks, which are presented formally for the occasion without leaving aside the new music based on unpublished writings of the author that provide a unique testimony transcending generations.
The show, which intentionally shuns folk aesthetics and focuses on jazz, a genre particularly favoured by Rebull (she particularly liked the quality of the sound made by the saxophone), marks the start of the Music and Exile cycle promoted by the Department of Culture’s International Programme. This concert is also the presentation and absolute premiere of the live album recorded at Auditori Espai Ter in Torroella de Montgrí on 20 December.
