His father was the one who introduced him to the world of photography. He won some prizes during his career such as: Ciutat de Barcelona prize, Nacional d’Arts plàstiques prize, etc.
Music Bands
Al Fondo a la Derecha is a rock and punk music group that was formed in 2007 in Sant Hipòlit de Voltregà. It’s composed by a singer, a drummer, a guitarist and a bassist. They are used to playing on holidays and at small concerts, but they are very well-known and listened by the people of the village.
In our country there are two traditional dances:
One of them is Sardana, a type of circle dance typical of Catalonia. The dance circle can be opened to a highly variable number of dancers. It’s danced in the streets and squares of the town or a city. The dancers, called “sardanistes”, are alternate men and women, and care must be taken by those joining not to split partners. Many sardanes have sung versions, but mostly instrumental versions are used for dancing. Sardanes are often written for special occasions or to commemorate people. All the population can dance that kind of dance, since sardana doesn’t require special fitness.
Town festival
Festa Major: it’s a festival which is celebrated on the first days of September. It’s one of the most popular events in the town. There are different activities for all the ages, and one of the most important is the rock concert where a lot of popular bands play like “Flying Frogs”.
Carnival: It’s the most popular festival of the town in winter. People wear costumes and there are floats that go around the town. Finally, we celebrate award ceremony in La Pista and the best floats and costumes receive a certificate . After that, a big party is celebrated in la Pergola for young people.
In all the country, we celebrate other festivals which are famous among the of people living in the area for example: Caramelles, Caga Tió and Reis Mags (which is the same as Santa Claus here).
