Welcome to Ibizology, a podcast exploring the culture, history and arts of the Balearic island of Ibiza. Im Will Beacham, an Ibiza-based journalist and in each episode I interview an Ibizan who is contributing in some way to life on this wonderful island. Through their words I aim to bring to life different aspects of island living as they tell their unique stories. The Ibizan music you hear was recorded in July 1952 in the churchyard of the village of St Josep by the musicologist Alan Lomax. It is called Bon amor jo et venc a veure which translates from Catalan as Good love, I come to see you. It is part of a huge archive of folk music he recorded all over the world. The Ibizan segment of the archive can be heard at http://research.culturalequity.org/get-audio-ix.do?ixrecording&id11950:89&idTypesubregion&sortByabc The music, from the Alan Lomax Collection at the American Folklife Center, Library of Congress.
