Joan Manuel Serrat – Porque la Queria
Biography
Catalan singer-songwriter Joan Manuel Serrat got involved in music at the age of 17, when he got his first guitar, to which he dedicates one of his earliest songs, “Una guitarra.”
In early 60’s the young artist participated in a pop band playing along with classmates at Barcelona’s Agronomy School, doing mainly Beatles stuff and Italian ‘pop-of-the-era’ songs translated to Spanish.
In 1965, while singing in a radio show called Radioscope, host Salvador Escanilla helped him to get a record deal with local label Edigsa where he recorded his first EP, as well as became part of Els Setze Jutges, a group of Catalan artists aiming to promote a renaissance of Catalan culture after Spanish Franco’s dictatorship and make it spread into popular classes.
Joan Manuel Serrat’s first live stage performance in 1967 at the Catalan Music Palace, established definitely his name as one of the most important artists inside the ‘Nova cançó’ (‘New Song’) movement in Catalonia.
Next year, Spain originally entered Serrat in the Eurovision Song Contest 1968 to sing “La, la, la”, but he asked to sing it in Catalan, to which the Spanish authorities would not agree. This would be the first time he came into conflict with the language politics of Francoist Spain, because of his decision to sing in his native Catalan language, repressed by Franco. After the incident, Serrat was hurriedly substituted by Massiel, who won the contest with her Spanish-language version.
