To my brain that i don't know
(Raimon)
come known words,
vowels, consonants, hyphens
and exclamation marks;
colons, many comas and accents
which to say what I feel for you
I think don't help me at all,
don't help me at all.
In my brain that I don't know
I find images without words,
and all those fruit trees
that I haven't seen for so many years
start dancing happily;
over a sea of clean water
they walk leafy and beautiful,
leafy and beautiful.
In my brain that I don't know
sprinklers of honey open doors
to lively full moons,
that among orange and lemon trees
and peach and almond trees
go on chasing all the shadows
behind the pines and carob trees,
the pines and carob trees.
To my brain that I don't know
a great question is approaching,
that wants to embrace all the letters
that make up the word "Amor".
The letters change places
and make the word "Roma"
and laugh in complicity,
in complicity.
To my brain that I don't know
come the years that we have lived
together, loaded, overflowing with life;
and filled with desire, they make signs
to those which have not yet arrived,
telling them: come and look
how well we are,
well we are.
To my brain that I don't know
the other years we have not lived
draw nearer little by little;
they look somewhat disbelieving,
and don't see how they'll be able to live
as intensely as those,
and they believe that they are different,
that they are different.
To my brain that I don't know
like an explosion, flowers arrive
bringing their cleanest colours;
jasmines, roses and anemones,
dahlias, carnations and camellias,
geraniums, poppies, oleanders
and other flowers that I don't know,
that I don't know.
To my brain that I don't know
to all my body, you come smiling
and you tell me you love me, at the same
moment that I tell you I love you.
It's an unrepeatable moment
in which all the birds of the world,
suddenly, take flight,
take flight.
(1986)

Casi cuatro décadas después de su estreno en Ámsterdam, la cantata Dialecto de Pájaros del compositor Patricio Wang revive en Chile con una versión revisada por su autor. Una obra mística y vanguardista que regresa para cerrar un ciclo pendiente en la historia musical de Quilapayún y Patricio Wang.
El Festival BarnaSants 2026 iniciará el 27 de enero, en el Palau de la Música Catalana de Barcelona, su 31.ª edición con un concierto de homenaje al cantautor Lluís Llach, que conmemorará el 50.º aniversario de los míticos conciertos de enero de 1976. El espectáculo reproducirá, medio siglo después el repertorio original íntegro de aquellos conciertos con la participación de artistas como Manel Camp, Santi Arisa, Borja Penalba, Gemma Humet o Joan Reig, entre otros.
En el marco de las celebraciones por su 60º aniversario, la emblemática banda chilena Inti-Illimani suma una nueva colaboración de alto calibre: esta vez junto al maestro Valentín Trujillo, en un EP que reinterpreta dos de las canciones más significativas del repertorio cultural chileno: El arado, de Víctor Jara, y El pueblo unido jamás será vencido, de Sergio Ortega.
El cantautor asturiano Víctor Manuel inaugura etapa con Altafonte y presenta un álbum producido por David San José, formado por composiciones que abordan el amor, la esperanza y la identidad personal en un tiempo marcado por la incertidumbre.
A sus 81 años, Miguel Ríos presenta «El último vals», un disco escrito junto a Jose Nortes que combina reflexión vital, crítica social, memoria emocional y celebración de la música como acto de resistencia.
