The story behind
The song *Princesa*, with music by Joan Manuel Serrat, unfolds with a duration of 5 minutes and 9 seconds, inviting detailed listening. The instrumentation and arrangements, by Josep Mas, weave an atmosphere that accompanies the lyrical narrative. The piece draws from the rich tradition of singer-songwriter music, influenced by the work of poets such as Mario Benedetti and Antonio Machado, and also draws from diverse genres like Catalan folklore or bolero.
Joan Manuel Serrat, born in Barcelona in 1943 and also known as "El noi del Poble-sec", has built a body of work that dialogues with the poetry and popular music of Latin America, covering artists like Violeta Parra. His career, which has led him to be recognized with distinctions such as the Latin Grammy "Person of the Year" in 2014, is characterized by a deep connection with words and melody, elements that are clearly appreciated in the construction of Princesa.
