Description

The Càntut Festival, held annually in Cassà de la Selva, is an initiative created to preserve and spread the oral musical heritage of the Girona regions. This photograph from the 2023 edition documents a project that connects the sound memory of the territory with the new generations, all the while claiming the popular song as a living expression of collective identity. El Càntut not only recovers forgotten melodies, but also reactivates them in a contemporary context, opening them up to artistic reinterpretation and cultural exchange. In the European framework, this festival exemplifies how local cultures can dialogue with other traditions of the continent, reinforcing diversity as a fundamental value. The document is witness to a movement that understands culture as a tool for social cohesion, the transmission of values ​​and the construction of a plural and rooted Europe.
