Barcelona balla presents two centuries of society, dances and music in the Catalan capital. An entertaining itinerary which takes us back to the aristocratic salons, the first marquees, cafe-concerts, cabarets, dance halls, discotheques and concert halls, where the various sectors of urban society organised their soirées and celebrations. The book also bears testament to the musical and dance fashions that emerged throughout the 19th and 20th centuries: Waltz, Rigodon, Can-Can, Charleston, Jazz, Swing, Bolero, Mambo, Rock and Roll, Twist and so on.
