Overview

• More than twenty artists spanning Pau Riba’s original collaborators and emerging Catalan musicians reinterpreted tracks from both volumes of Dioptria with backing from De Mortimers.
• The five Riba siblings joined forces for a stirring rendition of “Noia de porcellana” that underscored the album’s familial and communal ethos.
• Maria del Mar Bonet and Caïm Riba delivered their inaugural on-stage duet of “Es fa llarg esperar” under Borja Penalba’s guitar accompaniment.
• Remei de Ca la Fresca dedicated a cathartic performance of “Ja s’ha mort la besàvia” to the recently deceased cultural figure Memi March.
• Rita Payés and Pol Batlle energized the audience with a galloping “Vostè (tu, tu mateixa)” while La Ludwig Band’s gritty take on “Taxista” echoed Dioptria’s LSD-influenced spirit.
