To celebrate theBook Day 2025 of next April 23rd, we have created ourplaylistatSpotify:” This book sounds familiar“. A musical journey through the history of world literature.
In it you will find a multitude ofsongs that were composed for inspiration from literary works. From the most classic ones such asDon Quixote oHamlet to more recent and popular works such asThe Lord of the Rings,1984,No news from Gurb oInterview with the vampire. And in a wide range of musical styles: pop, rock, bolero, folk, heavy metal, grunge…
