[useless-catalanfacts]

Translation:

El Español (newspaper): The victory of parents like Sonia: 107 schools switch Valencian for Spanish because of the Mazón law.

Response: Is it possible that Spain is the only country where it's considered a victory the fact that your children will be only monolingual instead of bilingual?

Surely not the only one (imperialist countries very often try to exterminate the languages of the countries they occupy, which also means not allowing their children to learn the language of the place they move to), but Spain and France are particularly aggressive against the local languages that aren't Spanish and French, respectively.

Schools in the Valencian Country and the Balearic Islands (where the local language is Catalan or Valencian, two historical names for the same language) are being pressured to remove the local language from the school and to teach only in Spanish. In fact, the Spanish nationalist and far right-wing government of the Balearic Islands has announced that Catalan-speaking children and Spanish-speaking children will be segregated in schools from now on (parents will choose which school to send them to, accompanied with the propaganda pushing them to choose Spanish schools), with the purpose of reducing every time more and more who gets to speak and learn the islands' language, imposing Spanish instead.

Everyone learns Spanish regardless because it's the government's language and it's everywhere (TV, radio, netflix, social media, etc), plus we study it in school as a first language anyway. It's impossible to grow up here and not learn Spanish naturally as you grow up. But the same is not true the other way around. If children from Spanish-speaking families, immigrant families, and those families who have believed the decades of being told "speaking Catalan makes you sound uneducated/rural/stupid/rude, only Spanish is good for your children's future and makes you normal", if their children are only exposed to Spanish at home and on media, and because Catalan speakers are already bilingual and have an inferiority complex so will always switch to Spanish when talking to a Spanish-speaker, these children will never learn the language of the place they live in, and they will be monolingual Spanish speakers. When the number of monolingual Spanish speakers grow, Catalan speakers will be even more marginalized and won't be able to access healthcare in our language (though we already don't half of the time), won't be able to go to the shops and talk in our language, won't be able to have services in our language, etc. And, thus, they will have made our language almost useless for our everyday life. We will disappear from public spaces, and people will stop passing down the language to their children. And the language will die, and with it our way of understanding the world, the words that describe our culture, or our ability to read what our ancestors wrote, our country's literature, or to understand the names of the places we live in.

The point was always to exterminate our language and culture, to create their made-up dream of a unified Spain where everyone is the same, which has never existed. As Franco used to say, "we want an absolute unit. With one language: Spanish. And one personality: the Spanish one".

Cultural diversity is a richness and beauty of the world, and every language has an equal right to exist. Don't let anyone convince you that your language and your people don't deserve to live.

Wait so how do we know about Mariona and Leila?

While we're at it, do you have any little facts about them (individually)?

it was one of those "it was obvious on social media at the time" situations. basically the same way we know about mariona and leila's other relationships after they ended things with each other.

so some fun facts about each individual:

leila's family is from morocco and she grew up spending her summers there. she even had youth call ups to the moroccan national team before choosing to stick with spain (how ironic that vilda now coaches for morocco!) and she knows some arabic.

yes, to answer second anon's question. leila is dating kleinecris, who is a dj/non-footballer.

she also hates germans! jk, it's just a classic meme.

source: @leonputellas

mariona is an island girl! she's from mallorca, one of the balearic Islands and her mother tongue is mallorquin, which is a dialect of catalan.

she's had a lot of long term injuries over the past few years, but the situation has stabilized. (i personally blame vilda for overworking her!)

mariona also plays the piano!

and finally have a pic of these two as baby gays back then!

Según la ministra “socialista” de vivienda, la vivienda no es un derecho universal, sino un medio para garantizar que el proletariado abastezca a la oligarquía: "¿Dónde se van a alojar los camareros que después nos sirven un vino o un espeto?", aseguró preocupada. El mismo fin de semana que la ministra soltaba esta barbaridad clasista, Baleares vivía una nueva manifestación en contra del turismo masivo. Aumento del precio de las viviendas, empeoramiento de los servicios públicos, masificación, depredación de recursos, insostenibilidad ecológica… las razones para protestar se repiten por las decenas de ciudades de todo el Estado que están viviendo manifestaciones masivas en contra de este modelo ecocida que además promueve la desigualdad social. Somos ciudadanos de un estado de derecho, no siervos del capital. Es urgente cambiar el rumbo y volver a poner en el centro del debate a la ciudadanía. La economía no está por encima de nuestros derechos.

Lionel Messi House in Miami and Barcelona: Cost, Inside Photos and Net Worth

Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, acquired a lavish mansion in Miami after Lionel joined Inter Miami’s professional team in July 2023. The couple invested approximately 50 million USD (around Rs 413 crore) in this stunning property. Situated on a uniquely shaped island, the estate ensures complete privacy for the family. Known for its exclusive location, Lionel Messi’s Miami residence is celebrated as a masterpiece of contemporary architecture. Designed by renowned designer Lori Morris, the modern mansion has garnered attention, even being featured in Florida Design magazine.

Lionel Messi, who shares three sons with Antonela Roccuzzo, an Argentinian social media influencer and model, recently became the proud owner of a sprawling 10,500-square-foot estate. This impressive residence features 8 bedrooms, 9.5 bathrooms, a three-car garage, and a luxurious pool.

Represented by Samuel and Donna Simpkin of Compass Florida, Messi purchased the home nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac within the exclusive Bay Colony community. Notably, this area saw a record-setting purchase in 2021 by Patrick Bet-David, an author and social media influencer.

The ultra-modern mansion, occupying less than half an acre, boasts two boat docks, a spa, a fitness room, and an expansive 1,600-square-foot primary bedroom suite. Annual property taxes for the estate are estimated to be around $83,400, reflecting its substantial value and amenities.

More than just a living room, Messi's lounge is a cozy nap corner, often used by him and his toddlers for power naps on the oversized couch. The lounge is tastefully adorned with Mediterranean motifs, enhancing the area’s overall design. A grey patterned rug beautifully complements the dark and light sofas, which rest on chestnut-toned floors. The room features a diverse color scheme with beige and brown tones, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The main attraction of the room is a wall adorned with floral pattern motifs, creating a focal point that separates it from the rest of the house with a stylish glass partition. Mix-and-match cushions add to the sofa's attractiveness, making the space both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

The names of his family members are etched into the stairs, and a carved Number 10 at the base, representing the number he proudly wears on his blue and white jersey, adds a personal touch. This distinctive design element not only enhances the gym’s functionality but also symbolizes Messi's deep connection to his family and his sport.

Posm - With the Birds - pastoral electro-acoustic Balearic dub jams from Australia

‘Born out of the 2020/21 lockdowns, a small window over New Year’s Eve gave four friends a chance to come out of isolation and play music together. Sat up on the lush Bilgola hills, the first Posm jams came to fruition and cemented a desire for further collaboration. Over the next two months Posm became an obsessive catharsis for socially starved marsupials, with free flowing live improvisations combining electroni- ca and organic instruments, psychedelic bushwalks and playing host to the Bilgan birds and critters. This is Posm, with the birds.’ All tracks produced and mixed by Jackson Fester at the Hudson Hideout & Bilga Tops. Instruments performed by David Williams, Gabriel Portocarrero, Ryan Thomas, Oscar Henfrey and Jackson Fester.

Why are cover songs so numerous in the popular music industry?

This week, I want to talk about cover songs. Called “remake” or “remix” in French, a cover song is a new performance or recording of a previously recorded song by someone other than the original artist or composer. The new recording is generally similar to the original song in terms of structure, though the rhythm and lyrics may slightly differ. Especially since the 1950s, remakes of songs have been quite popular in the music industry and musicians are publishing “cover versions” of songs as a tribute to the original performer or group. The remaking of songs is allowed as long as the singer pays a royalty to the song's creator.

Nowadays, streaming services and social media are a means of mediation that enhance communication between different audiences. Therefore, cover songs can be discovered through streaming services and social media by new audiences who didn’t know the original song. In fact, many people prefer cover songs to original songs! I want to mention the fact that cover versions of songs can definitely become more popular than the original. Sometimes it is the date of publication that allows for greater success or even the differences in lyrics and rhythm that are conducive to better sales. In some cases, the only reason a song becomes more popular is all due to a remake by a different artist.

The cover song that comes to my mind is the one performed by Jonas Blue and Dakota of the song “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.

“Fast Car” is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman, which was released in 1988. The genre of this song is contemporary folk. But in 2015 it was no longer the most popular and most listened to genre. Therefore, Jonas Blue and Dakota released a cover version which has the particularity of not being the same genre of music anymore, since the musical genre of this version is considered as tropical house, also known as trop house – a subgenre of house music, and a derivation of tropical music, with elements of dancehall and Balearic house – and dance pop.

Jonas Blue is an English DJ, record producer, songwriter, and remixer. His production derives mostly from dance-pop and tropical house. Dakota is a British singer who sang Tracy Chapman's lyrics. Their remix was a big hit, and their music video has been viewed over 500 million times!

Frequently Asked Questions

This post answers the following questions:

Who are the Catalans? Where are you?

Which are the Catalan Countries? (each Catalan country)

Where can I learn the Catalan language? (free online resources and where to find classes)

What social media accounts can I follow that post in Catalan?

If your question isn't answered here, you're more than welcome to send me an ask!

1. Who are the Catalans? Where are they?

Catalan people are a cultural group who come from the area known as the Catalan Countries. We speak the Catalan language (a language that descends from Latin) and have a distinct culture (cuisine, traditions, holidays, dances, music, literature, etc) and history since the Middle Ages.

Our nation is the Catalan Countries, located in the coast of the Mediterranean sea, in South-Western Europe.

As a result of past wars and invasions, most of the Catalan Countries are under Spanish rule and a part of it is under French rule (+1 city in Italy). In fact, Spain and France have harshly persecuted, illegalized and tried to exterminate the Catalan language and culture for a long time, well into the 20th century. But Catalan people have survived the ethnocide and we still exist, even though we continue to face discrimination and there are some settings where it's still not legal to speak Catalan (for example, public schools in the French-controlled part, or European Union ambits, among some others).

There is also Catalan diaspora around the world.

We are not a closed culture, we are very open to foreigners learning our language and culture, and the Catalan diaspora often organizes celebrations for our holidays or groups to do traditional activities (most famously the castellers, aka human towers) that everyone can join.

2. Which are the Catalan Countries?

We say the Catalan Countries in plural because it's made of different areas for historical reasons. The Catalan Countries are all the areas where Catalan is the native language, which have historically been part of a whole, and which share a common culture (with local variants, of course). Here they are:

From North to South:

Northern Catalonia. Capital city: Perpinyà. It's under French administration (part of the region Occitanie in the new French regions system, used to be Languedoc-Roussillon in the old one).

Andorra. Capital city: Andorra la Vella. It's an independent microstate.

Catalonia. Capital city: Barcelona. It's under Spanish administration (it's the Catalonia region in the Spanish regions system).

Eastern Strip, also called Aragon Strip. It's under Spanish administration (it's part of the region of Aragon in the Spanish regions system).

Balearic Islands, including Mallorca, Menorca, Eivissa (in English also known as Ibiza) and Formentera. Capital city: Palma. Under Spanish administration (Balearics region in the Spanish regions system).

Valencian Country. Capital city: València. Under Spanish administration (called Valencian Community in the Spanish regions system).

El Carxe. Tiny rural area. Under Spanish administration (part of the Region of Murcia in the Spanish regions system).

L'Alguer. One city in the island of Sardinia. Under Italian administration (part of the region of Sardinia in the Italian regions system).

3. Where can I learn the Catalan language?

We are thrilled that you want to learn our language. Catalan people love it when others learn our language. Here I'll link you to classes and free online resources.

If you want face-to-face classes outside of the Catalan Countries, you can check this website to find if there's a university that offers Catalan classes near you. There are 101 around Europe, 25 in North America and Cuba, 5 in Asia, and 4 in South America. Students from these courses can also participate in language stays and internships in the Catalan Countries.

If you're already in the Catalan Countries, you will easily find courses for foreigners which the government offers for free or for a cheap price (depending on the level and each person's economic situation). Check out your local CPNL (Consorci per la Normalització Lingüística).

If you want to learn independently on the internet, there are two resources I recommend the most, both are available online for free.

One is the book "Life in Catalonia. Learn Catalan from..." that you can find in various languages. Here I add the link to the official government page where you can legally download the PDFs for free, you only have to scroll down and click under where it says "text complet". You can find the book Learn Catalan from English, from Spanish, from Arabic, from Tamazight, from French, from Hindi, from Urdu, from Punjabi, from Romanian, from Russian, and from Chinese.

The other resource I recommend the most is the online course Parla.cat. It has different levels for beginners or advanced learners. You have to create an account (it asks for an official document number, don't worry about it, it's not a sketchy site, it's because it's an official course paid by the government of Catalonia and if you immigrated to Catalonia having taken this course would officially count as a language course and can give you some benefits). You can either use it for free (all the learning material is available in the free version) or you can use the paying version. In the paid version, you will get assigned a language teacher from Catalonia who can help you and correct you.

There are many more resources. You can find more free resources in this post, this post, or in this link.

Here you have some recommendations to start practising. And remember that you can watch Catalonia's public TV streaming service 3Cat for free from anywhere in the world!

4. I want to follow social media accounts that post in Catalan. Can you tell me some?

Of course! According to the WWW Consortium, Catalan is the 35th most used language on the Internet, out of the more than 7,000 languages in the world.

Here's some lists with recommendations by topic:

Anime and manga

Cooking

Travel accounts

Videogames

Fashion and lifestyle

More lists will be coming soon

The Evolution of Far Yards Recordings; South Africa: An almost decade of House Music Excellence

Introduction

In the ever-evolving world of electronic music, Far Yards stands as a beacon of innovation and quality. Established in 2010 through soundcloud releases, the label quickly carved out a niche in the House music scene. By 2014, Far Yards had secured professional distribution, which significantly broadened its reach and influence. The label continued to release music until 2022, after which it transitioned to providing remastering and redistribution services. This biography details the label's journey, discography, roster of artists, and the comprehensive services it offered.

Founding and Early Years (2010-2014)

Far Yards was formally founded in 2010 by a duo of passionate DJs and producers who shared a vision of creating a platform that celebrated and pushed the boundaries of House music; Gift Mzizi & Bantu Mchunu. The early years were marked by a series of innovative releases that quickly garnered attention within the electronic music community.

Con una población diversa y multicultural, los usuarios latinoamericanos tienen una amplia variedad de intereses y preferencias a la hora de consumir contenido en línea.

Uno de los factores clave para entender la audiencia en América Latina es su alta penetración de dispositivos móviles y acceso a internet. La adopción masiva de smartphones ha permitido a los usuarios acceder a una gran cantidad de contenidos en cualquier momento y lugar, lo que ha impulsado el consumo de videos, redes sociales y plataformas de streaming.

Además, la audiencia latinoamericana es conocida por su afinidad por el contenido local y personalizado. Los usuarios valoran los contenidos que reflejan su cultura, idioma y realidades sociales, lo que ha llevado al auge de creadores de contenido locales y a la popularidad de plataformas de streaming con contenido regional.

Idioma: Español

El español, también conocido como castellano, es una lengua romance que se originó en la región de Castilla, en España. Actualmente, es uno de los idiomas más hablados en el mundo, con más de 580 millones de hablantes nativos, posicionándose como la segunda lengua más hablada a nivel global.

El español se ha expandido a lo largo de los siglos por diferentes continentes, convirtiéndose en el idioma oficial de veintiún países, en su mayoría de América Latina, donde ha adquirido una riqueza lingüística propia, con variantes regionales y expresiones únicas. Además, es uno de los idiomas oficiales de organizaciones internacionales como la ONU, la Unión Europea y la Organización de Estados Americanos.

Con una historia rica y diversa, el español ha sido influenciado por diferentes culturas y lenguas, como el árabe, el latín y las lenguas indígenas. Esta diversidad lingüística se refleja en la vasta cantidad de palabras y términos que conforman su vocabulario, así como en la variedad de acentos y modismos que enriquecen su expresión oral.

La importancia del español va más allá de su extensión geográfica, ya que es un idioma que conecta a individuos de distintas nacionalidades y culturas, facilitando la comunicación y el intercambio de ideas en el ámbito académico, laboral y personal. Su belleza y versatilidad lo convierten en una herramienta invaluable para aquellos que desean sumergirse en la riqueza de la literatura, el arte y la música hispanohablante.

Los youtubers se han convertido en una fuerza poderosa en el mundo del entretenimiento digital. Estos influencers crean contenido diverso que abarca desde tutoriales de maquillaje hasta reseñas de videojuegos, atrayendo a millones de seguidores ávidos de contenido fresco y entretenido.

Uno de los aspectos más destacados de los youtubers es su capacidad para conectarse con su audiencia de manera auténtica y directa. A diferencia de las celebridades tradicionales, los youtubers suelen ser personas comunes y corrientes que comparten sus vidas, pasiones y opiniones a través de la pantalla. Esta cercanía con su público les otorga una influencia significativa, ya que los espectadores se identifican con ellos y confían en sus recomendaciones.

Además, los youtubers han demostrado ser una fuerza disruptiva en la industria del marketing. Las marcas han reconocido el potencial de colaborar con estos creadores de contenido para llegar a su audiencia objetivo de manera más efectiva. Las asociaciones entre youtubers e marcas pueden variar desde patrocinios directos hasta la creación de contenido personalizado, permitiendo a las empresas llegar a nuevos clientes de una manera más auténtica y orgánica.

Sin embargo, también hay desafíos asociados con la vida de un youtuber. La presión para mantenerse relevante y generar contenido de calidad puede ser abrumadora, y la naturaleza impredecible del algoritmo de YouTube puede afectar significativamente la visibilidad de un canal. Además, los youtubers también enfrentan críticas y escrutinio público, lo que puede afectar su bienestar mental y emocional.

En resumen, los youtubers son figuras influyentes en el panorama digital actual. Su capacidad para conectar con la audiencia, su impacto en el marketing y los desafíos que enfrentan hacen de ellos una fuerza a tener en cuenta en la era de la información y el entretenimiento en línea.

Cada cultura posee sus propias tradiciones, costumbres y valores que la distinguen de las demás, lo que enriquece la diversidad del mundo en el que vivimos. Estas diferencias pueden manifestarse en diversos aspectos, como en la comida, la vestimenta, la música, la religión y las celebraciones.

Es importante reconocer y respetar las diferencias culturales, ya que nos permiten aprender de otras formas de vida y ampliar nuestra perspectiva del mundo. Al interactuar con personas de diferentes culturas, podemos enriquecernos personal y profesionalmente, al fomentar la tolerancia, la empatía y la comprensión hacia los demás.

Sin embargo, las diferencias culturales también pueden generar conflictos y malentendidos si no son tratadas con respeto y sensibilidad. Es fundamental promover el diálogo intercultural y la tolerancia para construir sociedades inclusivas y cohesionadas, donde se valore la diversidad como un activo enriquecedor.

En definitiva, las diferencias culturales son un reflejo de la riqueza y la complejidad de la sociedad humana. Al celebrar y respetar estas diferencias, podemos construir un mundo más inclusivo, diverso y armonioso para las generaciones futuras. ¡Descubramos juntos la belleza de la diversidad cultural!
