Sails and winds will achieve my desires
(Ausiàs March - Raimon)
making doubtful ways upon the sea.
Mestre and Ponent against them I see rise,
Xaloc, Llevant must now be helping them
with their friends, Grec and Migjorn,
humbly praying the Tramuntana wind
in its blowing to be partial to them
so that all five achieve my safe return.
The sea shall boil like a crock in the oven
changing her colour and her natural state,
she will show how she hates all
that stop upon her an instant in the day.
The large and the small fish will seek shelter
and search for a secret hiding-place:
fleeing the sea where they were born and raised,
they have no choice but to come to earth.
Love, of you I feel more than I know,
of which the worst will be my lot;
and he who is without you knows you.
I will compare you to a game of dice.
I fear death for the absence it means,
for love is annulled by death;
but I don't believe my wanting can be
overcome by such a parting.
I am jealous of your lack of love for me
and that if I'm dead you might forget me.
This thought takes away my joy in the world
-for while we live, I don't think it will happen-:
after my death, you might lose all power to love,
and suddenly it might turn into hatred.
And I being forced to leave this world,
my sorrow will be not to see you.
Love, of you I feel more than I know,
of which the worst shall be my lot;
and who is without you knows you.
I will compare you to a game of dice.
(1969)

El festival BarnaSants rinde homenaje al compositor griego, símbolo mediterráneo de lucha, la libertad y el antifascismo, con un gran recital que reúne a artistas de distintas disciplinas como Maria del Mar Bonet, Manolo García, Juan Valderrama, Kostas Triantafillidis o Manolis Andraoulidakis; y que pone en valor su obra musical y su compromiso político.
La cantautora chilena Magdalena Matthey combina en Instinto raíces latinoamericanas con sonoridades setenteras y cuenta con las colaboraciones destacadas de Natalia Lafourcade y Tata Barahona.
El cantautor chileno Nano Stern vuelve a Europa con Inventemos un país, una gira en la que presentará en el festival BarnaSants el disco grabado en homenaje a Víctor Jara y ofrecerá un repaso por las canciones más emblemáticas de su repertorio, junto a un homenaje a los grandes referentes de la canción popular chilena como Violeta Parra, Patricio Manns y el propio Jara.
Albert Pla presenta Todo me va bien, el primer adelanto de su próximo disco — que verá la luz a finales de este año—, una inesperada colaboración con Kase.O que combina humor, crítica social y un estribillo tan irónico como pegadizo.
El cantautor uruguayo Jorge Drexler y el músico argentino Conociendo Rusia se reúnen por primera vez en estudio para dar forma a Desastres fabulosos, un sencillo independiente que cuenta con Leiva, Meritxell Neddermann y Jordi Matas, y que llega acompañado de un videoclip dirigido por Joana Colomar.
