The vast majority already know him, member of Xanguito, a Mallorcan group that with its latest album Euforia is filling halls and squares throughout Mallorca. Let’s see what he tells us!
I am Joan Muntaner, born 35 years ago in Bunyola. I am lucky to be able to dedicate myself to my passion, which is making music and always being involved in inspiring projects. My hobby is getting lost in the mountains and inventing new paths to find the exit, without rushing, and if possible with headphones and good background music. When we are outside Mallorca, we long for its tranquility and the contagious parsimony of our people.
Which Majorcan dish do you like the most?
Pa amb oli. Because of its simplicity. When it is made with love and the sausages are good, it is irresistible. And if it’s a winter night and you pair it with a glass of wine, it’s pure bliss.
What typical drink or drink made in Mallorca do you like the most?
The sweet herbs. With a small glass and ice.
A song, or a Majorcan musician?
A very recent one: “Nu” by Tolo Servera. It is the demonstration of the high musical quality of Mallorca.
If you had to choose a place, which corner of Mallorca would it be?
Somewhere in the Tramuntana mountains, with high mountains and close to the sea, with dangerous roads open to exploration. Like Cavall Bernat (Pollença). I should stay and live for a few weeks to bore him.
And for you, what does it mean to be Mallorcan?
It is having the ability to live slowly, appreciate the details that life gives you, not longing to achieve anything, loving nature and feeling part of it, knowing how to live between generations, between families of different types… I could write a book with all the good things about being Mallorcan.We are very lucky!
Joan, what a pleasure to have you as a guest, next Saturday, November 26, we will sell you to see you in Santa Maria, we have seen that you play at the Vi Novell festival, so lucky to have you at the next Sa Madona festival!
See you soon!
