An artist of exquisite sensitivity dialogues with the repertoire of a singer-songwriter who marked the imagination of a generation as part of a cycle dedicated to female voices during the GREC festival.

You may know her by the name of Cecilia, although she was baptized as Evangelina Sobredo Gallanes. She was the daughter of a military man, well-connected with the Franco regime, though this did not prevent some of her compositions from being vetoed by the censors. She claimed to have avoided using music to propagate a specific ideology, although the veil of innocence that covered her songs barely concealed her feminist point of view and her desire for freedom and social justice.

Now known as Lídia Pujol, the multifaceted artist strips Cecilia's songs of the original arrangements and focuses only on the lyrics.These are songs that invite us to question everything, starting with ourselves and our immediate surroundings, and to stop listening to the noise of the world and to ask ourselves who we really are.
