Angelina Llongueras – Poetry, Music, and Memories
Angelina Llongueras returns to Paradigms to discuss her latest creative work, politics, but mainly to remember her younger brother Josep Maria Llongueras, musician, mentor to younger musicians, and a lover of life.
Most recently Angelina performed the Shelley poem The Mask of Anarchy at the San Francisco Public Library, and she’s written a play which is in development called The Speech.
Angelina is active in the antifascist movement in Europe especially in her home Catalonia.
J M Llongueras died on July 8, 2023. He’d been a musician his whole life, playing with different bands, releasing 7 albums all in Catalan. Angelina remembers him and we will be listening to some of his music.
