From the coasts of Havana to the docks of Glasgow, embark with ¨Els Mariners del Canigó¨and the Alliance Française choir on a Franco-Catalan musical journey.

Born in Spring 1993, Els mariners del Canigó is the first havaneres group created in northern Catalonia. It currently comprises 10 members who sail on an imaginary ship they call "El Canigó." Havaneres are sea shanties brought back from Cuba by Catalan sailors in the 19th Century. They are an exotic mix of sensual, evocative and enchanting landscapes, distant shores and beautiful mulatto. Havaneres are now a tradition that "Els Mariners del Canigó" now aim to offer to a wide audience.

Alliance Française, Hall Friday14th May, 7:30pm Tickets £5, A "Finger Buffet" and drinks will be offered by the Alliance Française.
