by Jaume Collell (Author)

Las canciones de Joan Manuel Serrat forman parte de la vida y la memoria sentimental de varias generaciones. Su extraordinaria trayectoria musical ha convertido al «noi de Poble Sec en una de las figuras más importantes de la canción moderna. De dónde surge este talento tan personal? De qué fuentes ha bebido su música?

De niño, Serrat escucha las tonadas de la radio y las coplas que le canta su madre mientras cocina. En el Paral-lel descubre los cancioneros de moda y le fascinan las zarzuelas y los cuplés. Empieza a componer con la guitarra que le regala su padre. Compra el primer tocadiscos a plazos. Se interesa por la chanson, las melodías italianas, el folk americano y los grupos británicos. Le gusta todo: el pop, la música clásica, el jazz... Le seducen el flamenco, la música tradicional catalana y la popular sudamericana. Armoniza estas corrientes con el pasodoble, el tango, la rumba, la habanera y la balada... Y con una personalidad extraordinaria -desde el Ebro, el río bilingüe al que abraza-, tiende un puente del Mediterráneo al Atlántico y permite que los ritmos de contemporáneos y antepasados y las rimas de los poetas alcancen el alma de un público universal.

Este libro es una biografía extremadamente original, pero también una crónica, que despliega el maravilloso mosaico del universo de Serrat y recorre la música que ha forjado su voz: desde el tango hasta Bob Dylan, de la bossa nova a Silvio Rodríguez. Al mismo tiempo, es un viaje a través de las canciones que han marcado la vida de muchos de sus admiradores. Porque la música de Serrat también es la música de nuestra vida. Escrito con pasión y entusiasmo, este libro nos invita a tararear Paraules d'amor, Mediterráneo y mil melodías más.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Joan Manuel Serrat's songs are part of the lives and sentimental memories of various generations. His extraordinary musical career has turned the "noi" of the Poble Sec into one of the most renowned figures in modern music. Where does this intimate talent come from? What sources have nurtured his music?

As a child, Serrat listened to the tunes on the radio and the ballads his mother sang while cooking. At the Parallel he found popular songbooks and was fascinated by zarzuelas and couplets. He began composing with a guitar his father gave him. He bought his first record player in installments. Serrat became interested in chansons, Italian melodies, American folk music, and British bands. He liked everything: pop, classical music, jazz... He was seduced by flamenco, Catalan traditional music, and South American popular music. He harmonized these styles with pasodoble, tango, rumba, habanera, and ballad... And with an extraordinary personality--from the Ebro, that bilingual river he embraces--Serrat built a bridge between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and allowed past and contemporary rhythms, together with the rhymes of poets, to touch the souls of a universal audience.

This book is an extremely original biography, but also a chronicle that unfolds the wonderful mosaic of Serrat's universe and explores the music that has forged his voice: from tango to Bob Dylan, from bossa nova to Silvio Rodriguez. At the same time, it is a journey through those songs that marked the lives of so many fans. Because Serrat's music is also the music of our lives. Written with passion and alacrity, this book invites us to hum "Paraules d'amor," "Mediterraneo," and a thousand other songs.
