Ministrils del Raval is a traditional music ensemble that was created in 1988 and which, through five albums, has carried out a rigorous research with an updated vision of the ethnomusical heritage of Catalonia.
"La Filomena se'n va al mercat" is a family show in which traditional dances and songs, as well as food products, are presented through a musical story.
Traditional music and food go hand in hand in this show. The group proposes a dialogue between the present and the past; between the speed of today and the slowness of the past; between haste and calm; between fast-food and chup-chup? Between a woman of today, Alba, and a woman of yesteryear, her aunt Filomena, a woman who was not what women were supposed to be... For Filomena, every meal was a journey, and every music was food. We are lucky if we have food and songs, because they help us digest life.
