In this double CD Joan Bibiloni presents us an important example of his facet as a musician and composer. "Balears" gathers together 27 instrumental pieces that are a musical dream, offering an atmosphere that only a great guitarist and composer like Bibiloni knows how to weave.

JOANA PONS amb ses guitarres
S'encant d'una illa
Lullabies, old chants, popular songs and some of her own creation, performed with a strong dose of modernist music and a definite Mediterranean accent. This CD-ROM Multimedia includes a Video Clip with marvellous scenes of the island of Menorca and information in three languages.
KEVIN AYERS
Deià...vu
One of the best records of the musician resident in Deià, Kevin Ayers.
MARIA DEL MAR BONET
Primeres cançons
Eleven melodies by the composer-singer of Catalan songs, Maria del Mar Bonet, who incoporates traditional songs of the islands to the 'new song' trend, and a type of singing related to the more open tendencies of songs and international popular music.
MÚSICA NOSTRA
De dia i de nit
This work reconfirms the commitment of the Mallorcan group, Música Nostra, that appeared in 1981 with the aim of recovering and keeping Mallorcan music alive. By means of a very up-to-date instrumentalization and harmonizing they have managed to obtain a mixture of technical and artistic elements, without losing the roots and keeping the very colour of the music of Mallorca.
TOMEU PENYA
Balades
This CD is a collection of some of the most popular songs by the Mallorcan singer-composer, Tomeu Penya: love songs, catchy happy songs, songs of the land... A good example of Tomeu Penya's work in his simple warm way of singing, his distinctive voice and his ingenuity which is not without irony.
UC
Toc i repicó
"Toc i repicó" contains lovely medieval romances, ancient love songs that are elemental and full of tenderness; plus amusing popular songs full of intentions. There are also protest songs against ecological destruction, against cultural degradation .. The voices of the Ibizencan group UC, accompanied by the sweet voice of Marina Rosell, bear the identity that has given meaning to the UC project for 25 years.
XIMBOMBA ATÒMICA
Cabres de plàstic
"Cabres de plàstic" by Ximbomba Atòmica shows us the different ways of interpreting our popular music. It is an up-to-date way of seeing popular music with some creative arrangements that go further than pure folk to folk-rock, via pop and Celtic music. On this CD we can find the most pure style of the Mallorcan Anthem, La Balanguera, by xeremiers (Mallorcan bagpipe and whistle).
