Born in Barcelona in 1943, Joan Manuel Serrat, whose full name is Juan Manuel Serrat Teresa, has woven a body of work that dialogues with poetry and the roots of popular music. His music often draws from the work of authors such as Mario Benedetti and Antonio Machado, and explores genres ranging from Catalan folklore to bolero, including tango and melodies from Latin America, as demonstrated by his versions of songs by Violeta Parra and Víctor Jara. Serrat is also recognized for his role in the Catalan Nova Cançó and for nicknames like "El noi del Poble-sec". His career has been honored with distinctions such as the Latin Grammy "Person of the Year" in 2014, as well as several honorary doctorates.
