A cultural project that brings popular music, traditional dances, and the historical memory of Catalan-speaking territories to cultural centers across America.
This year's edition focuses on honoring Bladé Desumvila, who lived in exile in Mexico during the Franco dictatorship. The program includes dance workshops, conferences, performances by the Rondalla dels Ports, and a tribute to Republican exiles.
Prior to the main ceremony, several cemeteries in the Mexican capital will be visited to lay floral wreaths on the graves of prominent figures of the Catalan, Valencian, and Balearic exile. The conferences will also extend to other locations in Mexico and Guatemala, strengthening cultural and memory ties.
