Like every March, the Festival of Migrations and the Book Fair are coming to the Congress Palace LuxExpo. The Catalan Center will not miss this annual meeting, however, novelty, there will be two great acts that we wouldn't want anyone to miss.
as you know, the festival starts on Friday 13 in the morning. That same evening we will serve you the first main course of this edition: the concert of the Kung-Fu troba. This hilarious folk rock group, a high quality hybrid proposal, will go on stage at 21.00 to make you dance until you can't dance anymore.
The next day, saturday day 14 at 15.30, a second level ration: writer's conference Najat El Hachmi. Born in Nador and immigrated to Vic when she was only eight years old, this author has brought fresh air and a view of Catalan culture from the outside. His first book, I am also Catalan, already announced a great writer in the process of training and a new voice in Catalan literature. The consecration came to him on 2008 by winning the Ramon Llull novel prize with his work The last patriarch. This portrait, both from the inside and from the outside, both from the Moroccan society of origin and from the host Catalan society, convinced the select jury of the award and thousands of readers. Saturday at 19.00, in addition, Najat El Hachmi will take part in the debate of women writers present at the festival.
On the other band, throughout the festival, The Catalan Center will have two stops. A, within the Festival, organized around the world. This blood of the land is gaining weight over the years as a cultural element rather than a gastronomic one. For this reason, we will dedicate our stand to him this year. I, on the other band, the CCL will be present at the stand of Hispanic and Lusophone literature at the Book Salon. Don't miss the opportunity to purchase the latest titles in Catalan at a good price and to request a signature from Najat El Hachmi, obviously, but also to other authors invited by the associations with whom we share the stand: Teresa Ruiz Rosas, Luandino Vieira, Juan José Sandoval Zapata, Joaquim Arena, Benjamin Prado, Amilcar Bettega, Alicia Elizundia Ramírez, Joseph George Letria and Abel Isaiah Rodriguez.
