Some artists do not simply have a career: they carry a geography, a language, a memory, a way of being in the world. Maria del Mar Bonet belongs to that rare lineage of voices that have accompanied the lives of several generations while never ceasing to feel necessary.

In 2026, the great Mallorcan artist celebrates 60 years on stage and 60 years of artistic life with a new album: L’aigua no cansa. This is a new studio recording of previously unreleased material —not a compilation, nor a set of new versions of songs already published— but a fresh chapter in her creative universe: traditional Mediterranean music, poetry and song offered to the world, born from a voice that continues to search, speak and move us from the present.

The concert will bring together brand-new compositions from the album with classics from her extensive repertoire. It is a way of celebrating six decades of music not as a closing point, but as a current that keeps moving forward. Because in Maria del Mar Bonet’s work, memory is never still: it flows, transforms, travels, returns, opens itself to other shores. Like water. Like song when it does not tire.

Accompanied by a line-up of Mallorcan musicians —Toni Pastor on llaüt, Marc Grasas on guitar, Benjamí Salom on violin, Marko Lohikari on double bass and José Llorach on percussion—, Maria del Mar Bonet will unfold a repertoire where roots, words, emotion and the deep Mediterranean that has always run through her work meet naturally.

For SONSDENIT, welcoming Maria del Mar Bonet is far more than presenting a concert. It is a celebration of an iconic artist: an essential voice for Mallorca, for Catalanlanguage song and for a way of understanding music as a bridge between cultures, languages, landscapes and sensibilities.

📍The concert will take place at the Teatre Principal de Maó, one of Menorca’s great cultural treasures. It’s the oldest opera house in Spain still in operation, and retains the elegance of an Italian horseshoe-shaped theatre: an architecture designed for listening and shared emotion.

At SONSDENIT, venues are never just a setting. In Maó, this idea takes on a particularly powerful dimension: an artist with 60 years of songs will meet a theatre that holds almost two centuries of stage life. Two long, living histories, both deeply tied to the Mediterranean, brought together in a single evening.

It will be a concert in which Maria del Mar Bonet’s voice will not only resonate inside a theatre: it will enter into dialogue with its memory, its wood, its boxes, and everything this place has heard since 1829. An encounter between heritage, song and time.
