A festival with history and commitment
Barnasants, an iconic festival dedicated to author’s song, is marking its 30th anniversary with a program that extends through the Catalan -speaking lands. This year, the festival not only celebrates its career, but also becomes a space of social and political vindication, denouncing the increase in fascist ideologies and the important role of music as a vehicle of freedom.
Ovidi Montllor: A living legend
The festival will pay tribute to the emblematic Alcoyan singer -songwriter Ovidi Montllor, in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of its disappearance. On May 24, Alcoy will host a special event that will bring together emerging talents of Catalan music, which will reinterpret their songs, offering a new life to their timeless lyrics.
A concert full of new voices
Within the framework of the Calderón Theater, the public will be able to enjoy a repertoire that includes iconic songs like ‘Because I want’, ‘Tribute to Teresa’ and ‘La Fera Ferotic’. Artists such as Alex Blat, Verdcel and Pau Alabajos will contribute their contemporary freshness and style, adapting the classic melodies of Ovidi Montllor to the new musical trends.
A Great Musical Team
To pay tribute to an unforgettable experience, there will be a band of exceptional musicians. Carles Ródenas, Adriana Sena and Laura Navarro, among others, will come together to create a sound atmosphere that will perfectly complement the voices of the artists.
Entries and expectations
Tickets for this event are now available through the Ticketalcoi platform. With rich and varied programming, BarnaSants promises to be a space not only for music, but also of reflection on our history and the future that we want to build.
