The Barcelona FC anthem: sung and karaoke versions
El Cant del Barça
has been the official anthem of Barcelona FC since 1974, when it was sung for the first time at Camp Nou to celebrate the club’s seventy-fifth birthday.
- The lyrics were written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinas.
- The music was written by Manuel Valls – no, not the French politician, although the two are fairly closely related!
The Barça anthem is played at the start of every match at Camp Nou, and the words (in Catalan) are shown on the big screen so that the crowd can sing along with the players. Get practicing, and you’ll be able to join in too!
