Conversem amb Maria del Mar Bonet des de Palma, on avui participa al Concert per la Llibertat d’Expressió.

Joan Ramon Bonet (Palma, 1944) has many parallel stories in his long career as a photographer. Son of the journalist Joan Bonet, began as a singer-songwriter in the 60’s and was the first islander to join Los Setze Jutges, a group he later introduced his sister, Maria del Mar Bonet. He had studied merchant navy and embarked, so his participation in the group that promoted the New Song was intermittent. After composing a dozen songs and recording three albums, with the dissolution of Els Setze Jutges Joan Ramon Bonet left the world of music to dedicate himself to photography. Take advantage of the exhibition at the Can Prunera modernist museum in Sóller, to talk with a photographer who has mainly watched art and artists, but not only.
On February 8, the exhibition Joan Ramon Bonet is inaugurated at the Can Prunera Modernist Museum. The photographer’s look at a combination of photography, painting and sculpture that will fill the rooms of the museum with works by sixteen artists who keep and keep a special relationship with Joan Ramon Bonet.

Mompó, Mati Klarwein, Andreu Terrades, Pep Llambies, Rafa Forteza, Lluís Castaldo, Jaume Pinya, Horacio Sapere, Pep Canyelles, Margalida Escalas, Mateu Bauzà, Lourdes Sampol and Gerard Matas.
Maria del Mar Bonet, from Mallorca to Alguer
Interview by Jordi Bianciotto published in the magazine Endetrock, February 2018
Photographic report by Juan Miguel Morales
For many, it is the most important female voice that has given the Catalan song.
Produced in its first stage by the mythical group Els Setze Jutges, it has interpreted
with equal success the cultured poetry and the popular one, and has immortalized in ours
language classic themes of the French song (“The Black Eagle”) and American
(«Jim»), within a ductile musical universe, but always coherent. Maria del Mar
Bonet (Palma, 1947) has been recognized, at home and abroad, as an artist with great talent and sensibility,
which has earned him, among other awards, the Creu de Sant Jordi (1984), the National Prize
of Music (1992), the Ramon Llull Prize (1999), the Luigi Tenco Prize (2003), the Gold Medal of the
Ciutat de Barcelona (2006), the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts (2010) and the International Prize
Cubadisco (2011).
The present year 2017, in the celebration of fifty years of musical career, has published the
Overseas disc and has appeared in bookstores Intensely, a complete and careful work, of which it is
author, journalist Jordi Bianciotto, who thoroughly checked the artist’s career.
I speak with Maria del Mar Bonet a warm spring lunch, between the polychrome walls of the
Tradicionàcius gracienc, this space that, under the guidance of master Jordi Fàbregas, has hosted
so many memorable evenings of our best artists of popular music. I appear relaxed,
in a good mood, happy for so many good things as he has lived through these fifty years
which, he says, “have been flying”, but, at the same time, with the constant push to move forward
new projects and new commitments. And with his voice warm, with slight inflections of the Mallorcan speaker
-This voice that has fallen in love with so many audiences around the world-explains it to readers
of «Serra d’Or».
The singer Maria del Mar Bonet sings the song “What do these people want?” “to denounce the imprisonment of Jordi Sànchez and Jordi Cuixart by the Spanish government”. The public is excited about the song by Maria del Mar Bonet
