Joan Manuel Serrat

Possibly Cataluña's greatest-ever singer songwriter, and a key player in the 1960s and1970s 'Nova Cançó' movement, Joan Manuel Serrat still has much to offer. These four concerts in Madrid will attract a large crowd of ageing, nostalgic, progressive types. His role in the struggle against Francoism and the early years of the transition earned him popularity in Spain and Latin America and heavy-handed treatment from the authorities, forcing him into exile in the mid-1970s. Serrat's current tour will combine old material and numbers from his latest album 'Tarrés/Serrat'.
