The Catalans (Catalan, French and Occitan: catalans; Italian: catalani; Spanish: catalanes) are a Romance ethnic group formed by the people from, or with origins in, Catalonia, who form a nationality in northern Spain. The inhabitants of the adjacent portion of southern France (known in Catalonia proper as Catalunya Nord and in France as the Pays Catalan) are included in this definition. Also, Catalan is sometimes used to define people from Catalan Countries, which include other areas where the Catalan language is spoken.
The other Catalan-speaking people, namely people from Andorra, Valencia, the Balearic islands, eastern Aragon, and the city of Alghero in Sardinia, are sometimes identified as a collective, distinct ethnic group. The aforementioned territories are often designated Països Catalans, "Catalan Countries", by Catalan nationalists.

Roger Albinyana : Political Economy of Catalonian Independence
The composer of this tune is anonymous and it is such a beautiful piece I have enjoyed over the years. I finally got around to recording it. The arrangement is based off a Jack Marshall version as played by Christopher Parkening. I did however change a few little things, such as added a few more notes, and changed a fingering in a couple places. Hope you enjoy it.

Catalonia is an autonomous region in Northeast Spain. The scatological nature of some of its festivities makes Catalonia the Christmas destination of choice for adventurous travelers. Among traditional activities, witness the creation of the nativity that includes the caganer (shitter) and the shitting of the tió (Christmas log). Catalonia was an independent nation until 1714. It has been fighting for its political and cultural rights ever since. My webpage is www.catalonian-christmas.com

For when another June comes, Let us sharpen our tools well. Chorus May the enemy tremble,...
STORY AND PHOTOS http://on.rt.com/5d0fwk The ongoing economic crisis has sparked renewed separatism calls in Catalonia - over a million people took to the streets of Barcelona to call for independence from Spain. The annual rally attracted a record turnout in the most prosperous part of Spain, which blames central government for its economic woes. Authorities in Catalonia are demanding a 5 billion Euro bailout from Madrid, saying that's how much Barcelona has been forced to overpay. Sociologist Carlos Delclos says the government is imposing centralization on parts of the country striving for autonomy.
