"Cant del Barça" (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkan dəl ˈβaɾsə]; lit. 'Barça chant') is the official anthem of FC Barcelona.[1] It was commissioned in 1974 to celebrate the club's 75th anniversary.[1] The lyrics were written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs and the music was composed by Manuel Valls.[1]
The hymn was given its official debut on 27 November 1974 at Camp Nou before a game between FC Barcelona and East Germany. A 3,500 strong choir was conducted by Oriol Martorell. On 28 November 1998, during the clubs’ centenary, it was performed by Catalan singer-songwriter Joan Manuel Serrat at the end of a festival at the Camp Nou. Since 2008, Cant del Barça has been printed on official Barcelona replica jerseys.
