Luthier Antonio Manjón drew inspiration from the work of Antoni Gaudí to build and decorate a very special guitar. It is a tribute from the president of our association to the brilliant architect, in the year marking the centenary of his death.

The Badalona Guitar Association organised the presentation event for the new guitar in Badalona on 14 June 2026. It was attended by numerous members and a crew from Badalona TV, who reported on the news in their news programme.

 

 

The Italian Andrea Dieci is one of Europe’s leading masters of the classical guitar. He is renowned for his exceptional interpretative sensitivity and a refined, expressive approach that has enabled him to build a highly prestigious international career. With a tone admired for its warmth and clarity, Dieci has established himself as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary classical guitar. In Badalona, we were able to witness all these qualities in a memorable concert.

 

On Saturday 28 February 2026, the Badalona Guitar Association organised a charity concert featuring five outstanding guitarists at the Carmelite Church in Badalona. All proceeds from the voluntary donations were donated to BADALONA ACULL, a group of 40 organisations working to make Badalona a more welcoming and inclusive city.

 
A few hours before his concert in Badalona (November 2, 2024), Ricardo Gallén granted us an interview, which we recorded on video, and later we added excerpts from the magnificent recital he gave us that evening. We invite you to watch this work in which, between music, Gallén talks to us about his career, the world of guitar today, the difficulties faced by young guitarists, and reveals his special relationship with Badalona. It is the virtuosity and testimony of one of today's great guitarists. Activate English subtitles!
