Nicknamed "the exquisite voice" by Barcelona's music critics since her beginnings in 1976, Marina Rossell will present a selection from her rich and expansive catalogue, including a few pieces from the album "Clàssics catalans" (2008), from her latest "Cançons de la resistència" (2016) and from "Marina canta Moustaki" (2011-2014), the trilogy she devoted to her great departed friend.
"My songs, carried by Marina's Catalan voice, have found a new homeland. With all my gratitude." —Georges Moustaki
Other than Georges Moustaki, Marina Rossell has collaborated with other internationally-renowned songwriters such as Montserrat Caballé, Lila Downs, Angelo Branduardi, Luís Eduardo Aute, Carlos Cano, Santiago Auserón, Paco Ibáñez, Manzanita, Pedro Guerra and Maria Dolores Pradera.
Her commitment to serving freedom has earned her various prizes, including the Olof Palme Prize for her commitment to peace (2007).
