The people of Barcelona were always music lovers. There was the flash mob playing Beethoven's Ninth in front of that bank in Sabadell (a suburb of Barcelona) eight years ago.*

I knew things were serious when the tradition Catalan folk dance, the Sardana, that is held every Saturday morning in the Cathedral Square (Plaça de la Catedral), didn't take place last weekend. Since I first set foot in that city (and that was 1968), I have never seen that canceled.

As a musician myself, I always get a rush when I watch the video of the scene at the Banc de Sabadell.
