Reissue of "Raixa", the album published by Maria de Mar Bonet in 2001.
"Raixa" was recorded live on the nights of July 25 to 29, 2001 in celebration of 25 years, almost uninterrupted, of concerts by Maria del Mar Bonet in Plaça del Rei in Barcelona. "Raixa" also wants to be a dedication and a vindication of Mallorcan gardens that at that time were threatened by speculation. Since 2002, La Raixa belongs to the Ministry of the Environment (currently the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge) and the Council of Mallorca. In 2009 it opened to the public and can be visited for free.
Maria del Mar Bonet says that the selection of songs is due to "a feeling of contemplation about a garden, like the one we carry inside." Maria del Mar Bonet is accompanied by the Ars Ensemble, directed by Joan Valent, in addition to her regular musicians: Javier Mas, Dimitri Psonis and Feliu Gasull.
