Experience the Magic of Broadway at Aclam Club

Join us for an unforgettable evening as ELS MEMORABLES present BROADWAY at the intimate Aclam Club in Barcelona. This event is a unique celebration of the rich history of jazz in Catalonia, showcasing how the vibrant sounds of Broadway were adapted into the Catalan language during the 1960s.

A Journey Through Musical History

In a time when the Catalan language faced significant challenges, a group of talented musicians, writers, and performers came together to prove that Catalan could resonate with modernity and sophistication. The adaptation of American jazz standards into Catalan required not only creativity but also a deep understanding of the music's essence. Pioneers like Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Andreu crafted elegant lyrics that maintained the spirit of the originals, while musicians such as Tete Montoliu infused their arrangements with unique flair.

Together, they will breathe new life into classic songs, showcasing the beauty of jazz sung in Catalan.
