How would it be a world without music? Who does music belong to? How does it feel as if it was our?
Through a polyphony of musicians, artists and professionals of music industry we inquire into the importance of music in social, cultural and economic fields, discovering what it is like to dedicate to music in Catalonia and putting a name to people that makes music sound.
A recognition to renowned musicians’ work and a look at younger innovative and transformative projects that in a short period of time have become Catalan music scene benchmarks. All with the aim of showing its plurality and dignifying the profession, in this time of uncertainty due to Covids crisis, pursuing the values of Catalan Academy of Music Alícia Awards.

Documentary
52’, TV3 – 2020
One of the most affected sectors by COVID-19’s pandemic has undoubtedly been the music one. For this reason, when the Catalan Academy of Music commissioned us to produce a documentary to replace Alícia 2020 Awards, which unfortunately had to be canceled, we had it clear from the beginning that Rere el mirall, la música had to be a chant to music, music industry and its professionals.
Because if there is one thing that we have been lacked of during this stormy period of time, it is the refuge that offers us the cultural sector. As Oscar Rando, Festival Esperanzah’s founder and member of the cooperative points out <<There is no possible future society without culture role>>.
Along this way, we had the immense pleasure of meeting great artists and professionals such as Raquel García-Tomás, Pau Vallvé, Ikram Bouloum, Adam Lakti and Jaume Piqué. We’ve enjoyed filming live shows of Tarta Relena, Chicuelo-Mezquida and Núria Graham and learn endlessly from meetings with various sector professionals such as Albert Salmerón (president of APM), Joan Magrané (composer), Helena Bagué (El Pot Petit), Alguer Miquel (Txarango), Ester Bonal (Xamfrà) or Gerard Quintana (President of the Academy), among many others.
