So I made a few playlists of Catalan-Valencian music genres! On the left you have the name of the genre and a short explanation, and on the right a playlist with my favourite songs from that style.

I can assure that rumba will improve your life, 10/10 would recommend. Also cant valencià d’estil.

You can listen to these playlists on Spotify: Rumba catalana / Havaneres / Cant valencià d’estil / Cançons de Trobadors / Tonades de feina

If I see people are interested I could make a second part with genres I didn’t include such as Menorcan cançons llargues (narratives), jotes, sardanes cantades...

Translated Catalan songs: Vestida de Nit

This song is an havanera composed by Càstor Pérez and Glòria Cruz, here sang by their daughter Sílvia.

Havaneres are a traditional style of music that originated in Cuba in the 19th century, but they are more popular in the coast of the Catalan Countries, the Basque Country, Asturias and Cantabria. These songs were commonly sung in the ships of sailors and immigrants who went from the Iberian Peninsula to look for a betterr life in Cuba, and for this reason many of these songs are very nostalgic and often talk about missing their homeland or lost loves.

(In the video, the song starts at 1:34)

Here you have the original lyrics of this song in Catalan and their translation to English.

Pinto les notes d'una havanera I paint the notes of an habanera

blava com l'aigua d'un mar antic, blue like the water of an ancient sea,

blanca d'escuma, dolça com l'aire, white like foam, sweet like the air,

gris de gavines, daurada d'imatges, grey like seagulls, gold by images,

vestida de nit. dressed in evening gown. Miro el paisatge, cerco paraules, I look at the landscape, I search for words,

que omplin els versos sense neguit. that will fill the verses without unease.

Els pins m'abracen, sento com callen, Pine trees hug me, I hear how they go quiet,

el vent s'emporta tot l'horitzó. the wind blows away the whole horizon. 

(Chorus:)

Si pogués fer-me escata If I could become scale

i amagar-me a la platja and hide at the beach

per sentir sons i tardes del passat, to hear sounds and afternoons of the past,

d'aquell món d'enyorança, of that world of nostalgia,

amor i calma, perfumat de lluna, foc i rom love and calm, scented with moon, fire and rum.

Si pogués enfilar-me a l'onada més alta If I could climb the highest wave

i guarnir de palmeres el record, and adorn the memory with palm trees,

escampant amb canyella totes les cales sprinkling every cove with cinnamon

i amb petxines fer-los un bressol. and making them a cradle with shells.

Els vells em parlen plens de tendresa, The old ones talk to me, full of tenderness,

d'hores viscudes amb emoció. about hours lived with emotion.

Joves encara, forts i valents, Still young, strong and brave,

prínceps de xarxa, herois de tempesta, princes of the net, heroes of the storm,

amics del bon temps. friends of the good weather.

Els ulls inventen noves històries, The eyes invent new stories,

vaixells que tornen d'un lloc de sol. boats coming back from a sunny place.

Porten tonades enamorades, They carry songs in love,

dones i Pàtria, veles i flors. women and motherland, sails and flowers.

(Repeat chorus)

Dos habaneras (un experimento)

No era nuestra primera colaboración. Tiempo atrás ya le había presentado la letra de una canción y él la musicó con bastante acierto. Después nació el proyecto de las “Dues havaneres” en el que Jordi Sarrà Moyano, pianista y compositor, y este que escribe, colaboramos de nuevo de forma conjunta. ¿Cómo nació el proyecto? Pues la verdad es que nuestra colaboración fue más interesante de lo que…
