“Theculture of Ibiza is in mourning”. This is how the Consell insular has informed the death of the Ibizan ‘cantadora’ Catalina Ribas Marí, 98 years old and native of Can Vil, today in Sant Josep. According to the Consell de Ibiza, Ribas Marí was “one of the best ‘singers’ of the ‘cançó eivissenca'”. The insulting institution has wished “that from heaven she guides the steps of the young ‘cantadores’ so that her legacy is not lost”. The president of the Consell, Vicent Marí, has also lamented in the same social network: “Sad day for our traditional culture. My condolences and affection to her family and friends of Catalina Puvil.” “To the memory remains her dedication and drive to preserve and disseminate the richness of the Ibizan song as an indivisible part of the most authentic intangible heritage,” he added.
