Description

Canet’s Sis hores de Cançó Catalana de Canet were the first large-scale music festivals held in Catalonia, with massive attendance (up to 60,000 spectators) and the presence of the bands and singers of the moment. They were born in 1971 and eight editions were made. At the same time, the Canet Rocks were organized between 1975 and 1978. These two festivals, especially the Sis Hores, were one of the most important events in the popular mobilization field of the 70s, a festival of democracy where Catalan identity was expressed, the protest against the social and political situation of the country, and the yearnings for freedom of an entire people.
Document of the collection of posters, made from civil society, which is a sample of the struggle and claim for democratic freedoms, in a context also of democratic mobilization in Europe.
