AMG Review of Mediterráneo

All Music Guide

After building up his Spanish audience during the late 1960s, Joan Manual Serrat went international with 1971's Mediterraneo, a popular album in the Nueva canción, Spanish folk, and ballad trova traditions. The album went out of print in the decades that followed its release and was eventually reissued in 2000, long after Serrat had established himself as one of the world's premiere Catalan songwriters.
