This last piece takes on a special dimension thanks to the work of EIVISUAL, the producer responsible for the audiovisual production of the tribute.. The video has been recorded and edited by Agustín Prades, whose technical and sensitive look provides a texture close to the territory and collective memory. The direction is by Ramon Mayol, that articulates the story with a narrative approach that combines landscape, tradition and community recognition, in coherence with the spirit of the project.
The tribute also incorporates a musical element created expressly for the occasion. The Mon Duo&MarCel wanted to participate with an original habanera titled longing, based on the poem of the same name by the poet Sonya Torres. The piece, recorded for this project, adds an emotional and literary layer that reinforces the evocative nature of the audiovisual and contributes to underlining the importance of shared memory in Portmany Bay.
With this production, United by our talk reaffirms its objective of strengthening ties between generations and diverse groups, valuing the language, the traditions and cultural landscape of Ibiza. The work of EIVISUAL, along with the participation of local entities and the musical contribution of Mon&MarCel, turns the tribute to Joan Ramon into a piece that celebrates common identity and projects his legacy into the future.
