My welcome! I'm Joan Baró and before you do anything else I suggest you to press PLAY just below these lines:

My name is Joan Baró and I've been working as a musician, actor, puppeteer, illustrator, photographer... for 10 years. I've worked in my own bands Lauzeta or Cronistes, and I've also worked with other companies like Highway, La Baldufa, Xip Xap, Encara Farem Salat, Centre de Titelles de Lleida, Títeres Sol y Tierra or El Gegant del Pi de Lleida...
I've performed on big and little stages, I've been in different parts of the creative process with the companies that have entrusted me with responsibilities. I've learned a lot with every experience and sincerely, it has been fantastic. But the time has come to start walking my own path, to sing my own songs and tour the world by myself.
I've recorded my first EP with 5 songs with the help of two great people; on one hand, Marc Espinosa, who has contributed by playing bass guitar and flying the ship masterly. On the other one, Nuria García, who has recorded the amazing violas that you will hear.
Once recorded, the first question has been: How will I make the copies of my CD? How will I rehearse a new show to tour by myself? Which sound equipment will I use when I play in the pubs or in the streets? How will I make promotional material? How will I move to the gigs?
That's how the idea of asking you for help came up. I've got a big idea and I only need some patrons to make it real. If you can put a part of your money to back my project, I'm sure something wonderful will come up from it! In exchange I'm offering you exclusive rewards, some of which you will only be able to acquire through this crowdfunding campaign!
The money that I will get with this campaign will go to making the physical copies of the CD and preparing my new standalone show, to write more songs and rehearse them so when you'll see me live you'll be able to enjoy the experience to the full! I will also buy a small sound equipment to carry to the places where I perform. And I'll also make stickers, badges, and foldable songbooks to promote my musical career.
Since I know that many of you want to endorse my adventure and become patrons, I want to tell you that if I gather more money than the minimum, I'll use it to buy a second-hand car to go to the gigs, I hope I can go to your town or city, or to your place if you want me to, onboard of my rocket!!!
When this crowdfunding campaign is over, I'll need time to make the CDs and all the rewards, but as soon as I can I'll throw a release gig in Lleida, so you can come and claim your rewards and my gratitude. For those of you that won't be able to come to this or any other gig, I've also prepared some packs with rewards that I will be sending by mail. Choose the one that you like. All the rewards include a mention in my webpage and my Facebook page, that's the least. From the 1 euro pledge to the 1013 euros, all of them deserve my most sincere gratitud.
You have come so far for the moment! Decide if you want to go a little bit further and join me in Sol!
Whether you decide to participate in the project or not, I invite you to join me in my social networks!

Salut!
Encara no he començat a enviar res perquè m'he endarrerit en una part de les recompenses i fins que no tingui els packs complerts no ho puc enviar... ara faré una publicació per tothom explicant-ho, entenc que hi ha més gent que pot estar en aquesta situació...
Gràcies per preguntar!
Joan.

Bones!
volia saber si s'han començat a repartir les recompenses. He estat una mica desconnectada i no sé si se m'ha passat per alt algun correu.
Merci i bona música

Hola Joan, et felicito per la teva decisió de començar a caminar per aconseguir el teu nou somni i aquesta idea tan genial d'aconseguir els diners necessaris. Voldria participar però veig que s'ha acabat el termini. Hi ha alguna altra via per fer-ho?

Es pot fer, però no a través del verkami. Seria que ens posessim en contacte directament (per Facebook per exemple!) i em féssis l'ingrés del que vulguis aportar... De tota manera et recomano que a poc que puguis facis l'aportació a través de verkami, així els diners es comptabilitzen en el còmput, i jo ja et poso amb tota la gent que ha col·laborat, per enviar-te les recompenses etc, però en fi, com et vagi millor.
Gràcies en tot cas per preguntar, estem en contacte!!!
Joan.

Hola Joan. Volia preguntar-te si es pot fer l'aportació en algun núm. de compte i prou. Merci!
