CD edition

Balla la masurca! is finally here, Guillem Gisbert's solo debut or, in other words, the most anticipated album in Catalan music of 2024. MANEL are a golden page in the history of song in Catalonia and Gisbert its singer and main composer. The announcement that the Barcelona quartet was going to take a break after the best tour of their career – the celebrated Per la bona gent – ​​plunged many into a feeling of helplessness until last September when the rumors were confirmed: Gisbert was starting the project. alone with the announcement of a concert at the Sala Apolo that was sold out in a matter of hours. Later came the advances, Les dues torres and Waltzing Matilda first, Cantiga de Montse, Hauries hagut de Comer and Un home realitzat later, which dispelled any doubt: Gisbert has not taken his foot off the accelerator, he is not MANEL, but there is no need for him to makes him. Balla la masurca! will confirm Gisbert – if it were necessary – as one of the great Spanish composers of his generation, with eleven tracks of the highest quality and exquisite lyrics available to few. The Barcelona artist knows the popular song inside out and continues to play with it as he pleases, taking it from its most remote confines and mixing them with total naturalness: from the most cerebral contemporary pop to a narrative folk, from the orchestral song of the 20th century to the music urban. MANEL rest but Gisbert's songs continue: dance the mazurka and sleep peacefully. .
