The day 29 from June to half past nine in the evening, a la sala Sang & Klang (1, rue des Trois Glands; Luxembourg) we will celebrate the traditional Havanera night of the Catalan Center of Luxembourg. We will have bread with tomato, sausages, burned, he takes cokes; in addition to the musical performance of the Vallparadís group.
The success of recent years has led us to dedicate, also this year 2007, a special night in the havaneras. 
This musical genre was born in the middle of the 19th century in Cuba as a result of a mixture of English rhythms, French and Africans. later, with colonial contacts, disembarks in the Iberian Peninsula with sailors and emigrants returning from the island and joins the music of the theater of that time (the sarsuela), sometimes, come to the opera (as is the case of Carmen).
The lyrics and the rhythm of the havanera evoke a distant world and an easy life. the havanera, with its burden of melancholy, it is sung all over Spain, especially after the loss of the colonies, during the 20th century. Today it is especially sung in Euskadi (by orphans), in the area of Alicante (corals) i a Catalonia (in groups of three to seven singers).
If you missed the great cantada de habaneras of Calella de Palafrugell, you can always enjoy the havanera night at the Catalan Center this 29 June. On this occasion we have invited the Vallparadís group, with a repertoire that goes beyond havanera (in Catalan and Spanish) and embrace the waltz and the tavern song. To complete the atmosphere, the indispensable burnt will not be missing, to feel between the Caribbean and the Costa Brava without leaving Luxembourg.
The price (which includes bread with tomato, sausages, burned, he takes cokes) is from 35 euros (students and partners, not more 30 euros). To book, put yourself in contact us or call the 220678 o al 437281.
