"Everyone has spoken and everyone has had their opinion, but the author, with her creative freedom, interpreted what we told her, which is that this year we had programmed a handful of committed musicians who have dedicated part of their careers to fighting for social rights and equality." These are the words of Pep Crespí, director of the Jazz sa Pobla festival, referring to the controversy surrounding the poster for its thirty-first edition, designed by Lluïsa Febrer. A few hours before the event begins, Crespí highlights the committed and assertive nature of some of the main names in this year's program, from double bassist Christian McBride to singer Marion Rampal, and musicologist Antoni Pizà, who will give a lecture entitled Jazz and the Fight for Civil Rights: A Contemporary Perspective.
