The best way to train a people is doing at school. This is well understood by leaders of the Franco regime, and for many years it was used in conducting a perfect (almost) brainwashing, leading several lost generations.
Yet, from the most reactionary sectors of society, it is intended that our recent history, also remains buried in the strict sense in the gutters, and, if anything, they pass two centuries, and consider our grandchildren as they do now War of Independence.
In Catalunya we find a model cultural activity: 23,400 children throughout the Community and third fourth, fifth and sixth primary, will sing the "Ballad of return," Albert Grau musical composition, with text by Rosa Regas and musical direction and Elisenda Carrasco Josep Prats i Ribot.

This is a work to musicians, baritone, soprano and narrator, in which children from different schools of Catalonia, after preparation at different schools, meet in the Auditorium make possible an exciting, dramatic voice, music, light and color, which commemorates our most recent past.

Rosa, adapted to the age and understandings of children, overlook info to view, without waiting fundamentalmente, the vicissitude of a war that padecieron bisabuelos and their grandparents, the tragedy of exile, the añoranza of the earth, the agradecimiento the land of welcome and the return, in this case:
"That is the beautiful memory / of a burning home . / I miss the smell / of wheat, the star / horizon and the sun / of my land. " (How nice the remembrance / of a home encendido. / Anori the smell / of Wheat, the star / sun and the horizon / of my land "). (Song of the record).
"The ocean is blue / the sea in Calella / greener waves / that oliveras. / The look is peat / with so much beauty / gulls scream, / play dofins els / the Vaixell forward / cap al'horitzó / Obrint-be camins / pel mig de les ones. / L'escuma whispers, / the vent li respon, / the lluna sighs / i put Despres. (The ocean is blue / the sea of \u200b\u200bCalella, / the green waves / that OLIVARES / The eye peat / so beautifully: / gulls scream, / dolphins play, / The vessel moves / to horizon / opening roads / through the middle of the olas. / foam whispers, / the wind responds, / the moon sigh / and then put "). (Cancer of the sea).
Albert Grau, the composer of the cantata, was born in Venezuela, parents exiles, and direct the world lived in exile, and references of their elders, the Civil War. He must have broken off from the land that his father, on the one hand, but on the other grateful, as seen in the Cantata, the host of Venezuela and Venezuelans. A very exciting moment was when the author Cantata, in the audience rose to greet the stage.
This composition is, in addition to that, a call to all Catalan children to understand that we are what we are because we are a mixture of many cultures and civilizations since the times are times. We're like us and we are what we are because of old we have within us the blood of Greeks and Romans, Phoenicians and Jews, Goths and Arabs, Italians y americanos…”.
