A renowned and popular INTERKULTUR choir festival will receive a new distinctive mark for its 8th edition: The Canta al mar festival in Calella/ Barcelona will be opened this year with a new song composed by the event’s Artistic Director, Oscar Boada, which will also serve as an opening song for future Canta al mar editions. As a first glimpse behind the scenes, we’re happy to provide you with the text:

Canta al mar

In the midst of an old country
Closed in on by greenest pines 
Come discover a new culture
Come, let`s share your music, sing!

Oh do come uplift your voices
Cradled by the bluest sea
Learn and know from old traditions
Feel our way of life and dream!

Canta al mar!
We welcome you to our homeland
Canta al mar!
Feel at home, be one of us!
Canta al mar!
Let the light of music bless you
Canta al mar
Benvinguts siau, amics! (be welcome, friends)

The song is currently being set to music and will welcome the choirs at the Pati de l’Os in October. More information about the event is available here.
