Raimon

With more than fifty albums published, Raimon is one of the great exponents of the Nova Cançó. His career began in the early 60's, when he was finishing his studies in History at the University of Valencia. In 1962, he released his first EP, which already contained one of his most successful songs, «Al Vent». Many of his songs have become part of the Catalan popular songbook and through music he has contributed to spread the work of poets such as Salvador Espriu, Pere Quart or Ausiàs Marc, becoming an essential name in Catalan music and anti-Franco culture. Beyond his musical facet, at the end of the dictatorship, Raimon participated in the documentary Les deux mémoires (1974), by Jorge Semprún, from which a long friendship arose between the two. Throughout his career, he has been recognized, among others, with the Award of Honor of the Catalan Letters (2014) or the National Prize of Culture of Barcelona.
