Is an operetta in two acts reflecting the era before the SpanishCivil War. The music is very descriptive, direct, popular where the choir carries the weight of the work. Commissioned by the Coral Polifònica de Granollers, this work is a tribute to the people of the popular athenaeums of the early 30’s, the losers of a war, the end of which meant the beginning of long years of silence. These citizens, an example of the creativity that civil society can have, not only were forced to remain silent, but even had to give up that building built by his ancestors, which today houses the Museum of Granollers after being requisitioned by the Franco’s “Frente de Juventudes”.
