Montse Castella 8/9/2016

We chanced upon this gig whilst in the Catalan influenced town in Sardinia. A free open-air gig of mainly Catalan songs to celebrate heritage. The main act was called a band with singer, keyboards (for about three tracks until they broke down)/accordion player, bass, guitar but the gig included a singer and acoustic guitar player (Montse Castella) who guested on a couple of tracks then had her own section. She was the best part of the show because although the band was good their vocalist wasn't that hot. There was clearly a lot of stirring nationalist stuff going on but as we didn't speak the language it all passed us by a bit. You could however feel the pride and passion which came across loud and clear.
