An exceptional concert in an evocative setting
After a trip that has taken her to several locations, Anna Ferrer returns to present her Parenòstic show, an artistic proposal that challenges current acoustic conventions. This time, the stage was the emblematic church of Sant Just and Sant Pastor de Son, a Romanesque setting that, with its magnificent bell tower, offers a perfect atmosphere for the recital.
The voice of ancestral Menorca
In an intimate atmosphere, Ferrer presented a repertoire that evokes his roots. His vocal ability, clear and emotional, made each song transform into a journey to his native Menorca. In her own words: “Collecting ears of corn to make bread is a way of connecting with the earth and the roots.” With these lyrics, the artist made us reflect on the importance of local culture in our identity.
A bridge between the past and the present
Ferrer’s perspective on music and tradition is unique. She posits that artistic creation and cultural roots are works that feed back on each other. He has inherited songs from his ancestors, but will reinterpret them in a way that challenges the idea that tradition is immutable. In his concert, he confessed: “I come from a world full of legacies, but I understand that the origins are more complex than we think. That’s why I sing songs that are not just mine, but everyone’s”.
Musical moments of high intensity
His performance included a variety of genres, such as boleros and rancheras, combined with traditional melodies that resonate in the heart of Menorcan culture. This fusion turned the concert into a fascinating experience, a mosaic of sounds that vibrated the audience.
Around the community and nature
The community aspect of their music especially shone through that day. At the exit of the festival, there was a moment of unity, where residents and visitors, united by their passion for music, dedicated themselves to sharing a glass of local wine and exceptional cookies, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
Reflections on the essence of travel
Garrigasait’s notes on transfiguration during the festival added a layer of depth to what is usually perceived in a concert. The symbiosis between arts, music, dance, and the recent speech of the journalist catalyzing ideas, transformed the night into a memorable event. The audience, immersed in the transcendence of music and words, discovered a new meaning of community and heritage.
Exploring the forest as a living cultural testament
In addition to musical talent, the festival has highlighted the importance of knowledge about nature. The guided tour through the forests with experts revealed the deep relationship that communities maintain with their environment. Every landscape, every stone becomes a narrative of stories that have been passed down through the years.
A future that embraces cultural wealth
The celebration of Dansàneu is an invitation to reflect on how we can keep our traditions alive while embracing the new. Art and community are linked with nature, and Anna Ferrer’s songs are the soundtrack of a journey that invites us to preserve the past while opening ourselves to the future.
