Description

This recording is an example of the popularity of the sardana and the choral movement promoted by Anselm Clavé. The piece, dedicated to the castellers of Valls, combines music and popular identity, and reflects the collective and festive spirit of the Catalan people. The document is a sonic window into the popular culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and shows how music was a tool of social cohesion and national expression. Its inclusion in the digital resource links the tradition with the sound memory of Europe.
