• Resumen

  • In the middle of the 19th century the Catalan Countries underwent profound transformations brought about by the process of industrialisation. Thanks to its strategic location, the Barceloneta maritime neighbourhood (Barcelona) would become one of the districts most affected by these changes, its physical face radically altered as it was transformed into one of the most important focal points of Catalan industry. Every spring, at the Pentecost, this neighbourhood was the Choir Festival celebration, a celebration that came from the humorous choral societies that they were created tin the origins of the Catalan choral movement.
