Perla Batalla in Barcelona

Post by BEATRIZ SALLES »

Perla will be performing in Barcelona March 13th during the Barnasants festival.

"A Camallera Alt Emporda summer 2014, the cultural promoter Peter Fields and the poet Albert Manzano met to finalize a special musical project released in the twentieth edition of Barnasants 2015 festival.
Alberto Manzano immediately considered the possibility that Perla Batalla, Californian siger of Mexican origin and Leonard Cohen backsinger who had worked with Manzano on the tribute production "Acordes with Leonard Cohen" in 2007, the ideal person to perform a repertoire of songs focused on fighting order denouncing injustices and inequalities, wars, atrocities and racist policies that capitalized the imperialist system.

Impregnated with this ideology and composed by some of the militant poet-songwriters in the field of popular music Anglo -Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, Suzanne Vega, Jackson Browne, Marianne Faithfull, Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle, Robert Wyatt, John Trudell and Pat MacDonald-, songs that make this project deployed a wide range of texts in an incisive socio-political situation and the current urgent need of voices that rise up against an oppressive capitalism that ignores basic needs and inherent human dignity.

Adaptations to Spanish Alberto Manzano and musical arrangements guitarist Camilo Perez, the emotional voice of Perla Batalla estremirà night protest in the name of freedom and brotherhood of people"

I always find it a bit depressing when a useful post gets no replies. So even though we've talked about it elsewhere: Thank you, Beatriz!

I have just found a video of Perla performing "Famous Blue Raincoat" in Barcelona.
What a beautiful, beautiful rendition it is, in every way.
Wish I had been able to attend...
