Qué va a ser de ti

The melody of Qué va a ser de ti immerses us in a reflection on the passage of time and destiny, lasting 4:38. The composition, entirely by Joan Manuel Serrat, is included in the album Mediterráneo, released in 1971 by Novola. This record is considered a milestone in the history of Spanish music, reaching the third position in a list of the hundred best Spanish albums of the 20th century compiled by Rockdelux in 2004. In 2007, Mediterráneo was inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame, and after a period out of circulation, it was reissued in the year 2000.

The lyrics of Qué va a ser de ti, like the rest of the album, are authored by Joan Manuel Serrat, who often draws from the work of great poets such as León Felipe, Antonio Machado, or Federico García Lorca. The musical arrangements were handled by figures like Juan Carlos Calderón and Gian Piero Reverberi, who contributed sound layers that complement the lyrical depth. Joan Manuel Serrat, born in Barcelona in 1943 and also known as 'El noi del Poble-sec', has been a key figure in the Nova Cançó catalana, blending influences from Catalan folklore, Spanish copla, and Latin American rhythms. His career has been recognized with numerous honorary doctorates and the Latin Grammy Person of the Year award in 2014.
