Join poets and singer-songwriters from Gibraltar to the Caspian sea as they gather to share traces of our shared humanity.
The night will be hosted by acclaimed Gibraltarian poet and singer Gabriel Moreno who will present poets and bards from far-off places. These performers all share a united front to place art and humanity over political and historical differences. In this night we consider Gibraltar itself as symbol of the the fusion of cultures and continents.
