BIOGRAPHY
Joan Barcons Moreno’s most important claim to fame is the fact that he is co-credited for the reworked French version of Spanish Eurovision winner ‘Vivo cantando’ (1969); this folk version was sung by Rika Zaraï and was a major hit in several European countries. As a studio arranger, he worked for Belter; later, he set up an independent recording studio in Barcelona. He wrote orchestrations for Peret, Manolo Escobar, Braulio, and Los Nins. Barcons also wrote film soundtracks and, later in his career, turned to teaching music, conducting the Barcelona Municipal Conservatory choir.
EUROVISION SONG CONTEST
Apart from his involvement as an arranger of Eurovision winner 'Vivo cantando' in 1969, Joan Barcons arranged and conducted two Spanish Eurovision entries: ‘Sobran las palabras’, sung by Braulio in 1976 (16th place); and ‘Y solo tú’, sung by Bacchelli in 1981 (14th place).
