Beautiful! flashmob at a square in Sabadell.

#t=303

"On the 130th anniversary of the founding of Banco Sabadell we wanted to pay homage to our city by means of the campaign "Som Sabadell" (We are Sabadell) . This is the flashmob that we arranged as a final culmination with the participation of 100 people from the Vallès Symphony Orchestra, the Lieder, Amics de l'Òpera and Coral Belles Arts choirs."

Sorry if this has been posted before, I know it's older but I just stumbled across it and wanted to share. The joy on the faces of many people watching is really touching, particularly, the woman at around 2:36 - she's adorable.

"Somos" would be the word in Spanish but this is apparently taking place in the region of Catalunya (Catalonia)..

I used to live in Barcelona, of which Sabadell is a major suburb. I lived with a Catalan family, and learned the language while I was there. I still go down there regularly for work, and so don't lose my contact with the language.
