Aitana opens up about what she does to improve her Catalan: "I have asked my friends to speak to me in Catalan"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General9 September 2026 at 12:28

Aitana, the young star from Sant Climent de Llobregat, conquered Palau Sant Jordi with a series of four sold-out concerts, establishing herself as a true superstar of Spanish music. The artist is now preparing to take her "Cuarto azul world tour" to the Movistar Arena in Madrid, with an ambitious itinerary that will take her across all of Spain, the Americas, as well as Lisbon, Milan, London, and Paris.

At her last concert at Palau Sant Jordi, Aitana made a special decision: she tried to speak in Catalan throughout the entire show, addressing the audience in that language. The artist claimed that the Catalan language is "the most important thing we have in Catalonia."

To improve her command of Catalan, Aitana revealed that she asked her friends to speak to her exclusively in that language, thus showing her commitment to recovering and promoting the language of her homeland. This personal initiative reflects her desire to connect more deeply with her Catalan roots through music and communication with her audience.

"The Feiras Novas are a meeting point"

José Pedro Ribeiro Pereira, a 22-year-old young man from Fontão, won the contest to create the image for the Feiras Novas, a traditional pilgrimage in the Minho region. His proposal placed the woman of the Feiras Novas as the central figure, surrounded by a family sequence with the grandfather, the son, and the grandson, representing what, for José Pedro, distinguishes the pilgrimage: the people who come together. The young man, who has been drawing since childhood, did not expect the amount of positive reactions his work received, considering that this victory represents a step towards what he has wanted to do since he was little.
