Joan Manuel Serrat

Über Joan Manuel Serrat

Joan Manuel Serrat is one of the most beloved singer-songwriters in the Spanish-speaking world, singing in both Catalan and Spanish. He rose through the Catalan Nova Cançó movement in the 1960s and became a symbol of dignity during the late Franco years. His albums setting the poems of Antonio Machado and Miguel Hernández to music are cornerstones of the canción de autor tradition. Songs like Mediterráneo remain unofficial anthems across Spain and Latin America.
