But the best thing is that we share the complete press release.
After a natural disaster like the one we have experienced in many parts of the State, especially in Valencia, the human quality of citizens emerges. What follows the passage of a devastating DANA, which still lurks, is also an explosion of solidarity; It is the people, standing up, offering the best they have to help their neighbors who need it.
In situations like this, we artists and professionals in the music sector can contribute what we know how to do: offer music to care for the soul and spirit; and also to channel the solidarity of an entire country saying that yes, sometimes it is good for the show to go on. But not because of the show or the artist behind it, but because of the public and the people in front of it, because of what music and art can give us to people when we are most in need. In this case, to collect and send urgent aid to Valencia.

MANIFESTO OF THE VALENCIAN ARTIST SANDRA MONFORT
On this soft land there rests the mare, the girl, the marit, the lover… so many of your friends who, moreover, will not be able to say the precise paraula. The town of Valencia will be your vision forever. I will sing for you and cry out for justice!
Avui, while the storms migrate and creixen ravanells to the terrace, the people come out pushing the pales and the barns from the street. From now on, our galtes will always be studded with fang, they will be our emblem. I will kiss you three. Some with nobleness, others with shame… a mute and silent shame, like a snake…
We are girls of llauraors and barxeres, som girls of people with the dits desfets de sewing and the cremated skin of the hours in the sun. We have the strength and the courage to the pit to have piles of cotxes and save our people from the greatest of the catastrophes that have happened to our dear earth, and we have the joy of the bright sun of Valencia to our hearts to rise -we face each other in the German community.
But we also have the dignity and the freedom to combat the injustice and abandonment to which we are under. To combat political negligence and the lack of resources, it helps us to help us, and our fallen souls.
Our history will remain tattooed on your office taules forever, on your flags, on your insignia. There are no rivers that can sustain the weight of our tears, there are no margins that can sustain the impact of our rage. We will be the sight of each of our fallen angels. I cridarem ben fort justice!
Because there will be a day that we will not be able to do anymore, and the keys will be gone to all.
The eighth day has arrived.
