The Seven Spanish Popular Songs. Many melodies, traditionally attributed to men, in fact originated on the lips of women, in everyday spaces such as the communal washhouses. Falla, far from dismissing that popular and feminine origin, elevates it into universal art #ECDV2025

When composing El amor brujo, Manuel de Falla studied in depth the cante jondo—a song of Andalusian, Roma and Arabic roots, the most primitive flamenco. He succeeded in bringing it into the universe of classical music enriching it without stripping away its authenticity #ECDV2025

Emma Chacón, a Basque-Catalan composer like tonight’s ensemble, reminds us that classical music was also made by women. Saying it was made by men reflects ignorance and the biased lens that hides women’s extraordinary contributions #ECDV2025

The conversations don’t slow down at #ECDV2025. This second afternoon is alive with debates, new ideas and shared experiences. Symposia, workshops and parallel sessions are bringing together research, practice and policy to tackle domestic violence from multiple angles.
