50 anys dels Concerts de la Transició. Barcelona, Palau d’Esports

The exhibition commemorates the historic concerts by Raimon, Lluís Llach and Pi de la Serra held at the Palau d'Esports.

The Museu d'Història de Catalunya is hosting this cultural project which looks back at a key period through documents and photographic testimonies. The exhibition itinerary brings together photographs by Francesc Fàbregas, Pilar Aymerich and Manel Armengol, texts by the journalist Joaquim Vilarnau, original material from the personal archive of Fermí Puig and audiovisual images by the filmmaker Francesc Bellmunt.

The exhibition offers a historical review focused on the recitals that took place at the Palau d'Esports during the final months of the dictatorship and the beginnings of the transition. The approach devised by the curator Fermí Puig and the production by Grup Enderrock analyse the evolution of protest song both in its lyrical content and in its musical forms over recent decades. The proposal is aimed at an audience interested in contemporary history, social movements and the cultural memory of Barcelona.
