More than 30 Catalan musicians release a song against evictions for the general strike on 11 November

Music is also joining the movement for housing rights. More than 30 Catalan artists have taken part in the recording of Estimada Valentina, a song that highlights the difficulties of accessing and staying in a home.

The project brings together some of the best-known names from the Catalan music scene and aims to give visibility to people facing the loss of their homes.

A song about a woman on the verge of losing her home

The main character in Estimada Valentina is a woman threatened with eviction. Her story is used to show how a group of neighbours organises to try to prevent her from having to leave her home.

The lyrics turn an individual situation into a story of collective support and neighbourhood resistance.

The video reinforces this message with real images of evictions, accompanying Valentina's story and showing situations related to the housing problem.

The Tyets, Ginestà and Figa Flawas among the participants

The initiative has brought together more than 30 Catalan musicians, including The Tyets, Ginestà, Figa Flawas and Joan Dausà.

The collaboration brings together different voices from Catalan music around a common cause: defending the right to housing.

The release is linked to the general strike called for 11 November, for which the song has become one of the musical symbols.

All proceeds will go to the Sindicat de Llogateres

The project also has a financial aim. All proceeds generated by the song will go to the Sindicat de Llogateres, the Catalan organisation that defends tenants' rights.

In this way, Estimada Valentina combines the participation of well-known artists with an initiative supporting the housing movement.

The song arrives on the eve of the mobilisation on 11 November, bringing the debate about rents and evictions beyond the protests and into the Catalan music scene.
