 Music of Catalonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catalonia (in Spain and France) has one of the oldest documented musical traditions in Europe, and has had a rich musical culture continuously for at least two thousand years.
Catalonia and adjacent areas were the home for some troubadours, the itinerant composer-musicians whose influence and aesthetics was decisive on the formation of late medieval secular music, and who travelled into Italy and Northern France after the destruction of Occitanian culture by the Albigensian Crusade in the early 13th century.
Other popular music are the ball de bastons (stick dances), galops, ball de gitanes and the music of gralla and tamborí used in cercaviles or by colles diableres.
