The new version of the anthem was recorded in 2023 by the Valls Symphony Orchestra, the Orfe Catal choral society and the Cor Jove youth choir. This new version is faithful to the essence of the original score and lyrics, but is better quality, with enhanced orchestration and vocals.

While it was nine years ago that Leo Miyagata became a global phenomenon after being recorded while breaking down in tears after the FC Barcelona's defeat in the final of the 2006 Club World Cup, which was also held in Japan, a similar phenomenon emerged this Monday during Bara's very first training session since arriving in Japan earlier in the morning.

Yamashita, one of the more than 240 children from the FCBEscola Futsushika who attended Monday's training session, was duly applauded by everyone on hand to witness the stunning rendition of the Club's anthem.

A second anthem was premiered on February 25, 1923, this time with lyrics. It was performed by the Orfe Gracienc music school and composed by Enric Morera with lyrics by Rafael Folch i Capdevila. The grandiose and patriotic lyrics emphasise the relationship between sport and homeland.

Another anthem, Barcelona sempre amunt! was premiered in 1949 for the 50th anniversary of the club. Controversially for the time (Spain was ruled by Francisco Franco who had almost completely banned the use of regional languages in the country), it was written in Catalan by its composer, Esteve Calzada.

Futbol Club Barcelona (FCB), better known as Bara, is one of the biggest and most popular football teams in the world. It has been the nurturing ground for world-class talent throughout its history, including players such as Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi, while big names have always been attracted to the team, from Dutch legend Johann Cruyff in the 1970s to Brazilian star Neymar in recent years.

An organization of this magnitude inevitably has a soul, and that has been projected by its hymn, El Cant del Bara, which certainly gets the heart racing and the adrenaline surging. It is a pure expression of passion from a club that has had a rich history and continues to contribute to the beautiful game.

El Cant del Bara has been around ever since 1974, but Bara has had other anthems as well. Its first ever hymn was composed on the 17th of July 1910 by Jose Antonio Lodeiro Pineros, the official bandmaster of the Infantry Regiment Alcantara 48. It was unveiled during a match between the Barcelona first team and the reserve side.

Finally, during November 1974, the legendary anthem El Cant del Bara was unveiled to the masses. Written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinas, with music composed by Manuel Valls, it is was an immediate hit. With a choir of 3,600 conducted by Oriol Martorell, it was played at the 75th year anniversary celebrations.

It struck a chord with everyone with its message of passion and support for Barcelona, and also expressed a willingness to welcome newcomers to the club fold. As its lyrics explain, no matter where the supporters are from, all that matters, in the end, is that they wear the blue and claret colors of the club, and give their full support.

The hymn preaches unity and brotherhood among the fans. That is to say, the very act of sharing a love for Bara is enough to unite two people and form a strong bond between them. This general message of valiance and unity forms of the core of the entire hymn, and it is supposed to evoke feelings of passion within the fan base.

Once again, FC Barcelona has celebrated the start of the Chinese New Year, which in 2024 is that of the dragon, with a number of activities in the build-up to the different games played by the pro teams. And as has been common in recent years, they were supported in the endeavour by the Penya Blaugrana Dracs Units, a supporters club formed by the Chinese community in the city.

Founded in 2016, the Dracs Units (United Dragons) claim that their support for Bara has helped then integrate better into the city and its local culture, with the football club forming a bridge between different identities.

The New Year celebrations are a wonderful way for East Asian supporters to make their own culture part of the blaugrana one. This year, they were there for the build-up to the basketball game with Alba Berlin on Friday 9 February, including a workshop outside the Palau Blaugrana where fans were able to write their own names in Chinese characters. Inside, a Chinese version of the Bara anthem was sung, created by the group GAS and there was a half-time show of traditional Chinese percussion and dance.

As for the football match against Granada on Sunday 11 at the Estadi Olimpic, the team came out of the tunnel accompanied by child members of the Penya Blaugrana Dracs Units and the same half-time show as at the Palau Blaugrana was performed, together with thematic banners and Fan Cams.

On Wednesday 14, the women's football team will be entertaining Levante at the Estadi Johan Cruyff and there will be similar celebrations, including the players also coming out hand in hand with children from the Penya Blaugrana Dracs Units.

MADRID -- It is one of Spanish football's most spine-tingling experiences. The stadium is filling up, fans excitedly taking their seats ahead of the game. The air buzzes with anticipation as the teams prepare to take to the pitch. Scarves are held aloft; traditional snacks like pipas (sunflower seeds,) are momentarily set aside. And from the speakers comes a sound that captures the tradition and colour of LaLiga like no other: the club himno, or anthem.

The crowd joins in, thousands of voices singing along at the top of their lungs to the crackly, decades-old recording. It's an emotional moment, the lyrics speaking of the club's history, its values, its identity.

The song sounds like it's been around forever -- perhaps since the club's foundation in 1899 -- but it isn't as old as you might think. "The current himno is from 1974," Carles Santacana Torres, professor of contemporary history at the University of Barcelona -- and a Barca fan -- tells ESPN. "It was commissioned by the then-board for the club's 75th anniversary but it ended up becoming the club's anthem, not just for those celebrations, but to the present day. Next year it will be 50 years old."

"They were given a lot of freedom with the lyrics," Santacana says. "It's a lyric that's still valid today in 2023, but it's also about the moment in which it was created. There's a line which says 'No matter where we come from, the south or the north.'

"In the Catalonia of 1974, people weren't thinking about a global, universal club like today. It was a time when there was lots of migration from Andalusia and Castilla to Catalonia. The writers were talking about Barca as a club of social integration; a club that wasn't just for people with generations of Catalan ancestry. It was also for those arriving in Catalonia. That was very important in that moment."

The "Cant del Barca" was first performed by a pitchside choir at a friendly organised for the club's 75th anniversary between Barcelona and the East Germany national team. Before long, it was a regular feature at Camp Nou.

"The board realised the impact it was having," Santacana adds. "Barcelona had other himnos -- there was one in 1910, another in 1923, and another was written when Camp Nou was inaugurated in 1957 -- but they didn't have the same popularity. By the 1970s, it was obvious that there wasn't a song which represented the club. The himno came at the right time, it filled a void ... It's a song for all the fans. You identify with it. It refers to the union between players and fans. It's about tradition, the goals we've celebrated together. You feel you're part of a group, part of a family."

The original -- "Hala Madrid!" or "Come on Madrid!" -- was commissioned in 1952 by then-club president Santiago Bernabeu, written by composer Indalecio Cisneros and recorded by popular singer Jose de Aguilar. Its lyrics speak of a "clean, white flag that doesn't tarnish" and a side made up of "veterans and novices" -- very apt for the club's 2022-23 midfield of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga -- describing the team as a "noble and warlike champion."

Some 20 years later, Aguilar switched sides to record the anthem of Real's rivals Atletico Madrid. Its 1974 lyrics still speak nostalgically of "going to the Manzanares [river,] to the Vicente Calderon stadium" despite Atletico's cross-city move to the Metropolitano in 2017.

But why have two club anthems when you can have three? Madrid's third was released ahead of their 10th, epic European Cup win in 2014. "Hala Madrid ... y nada mas" or "Come on Madrid ... and nothing more" features lyrics by journalist and writer Manuel Jabois.

The music was composed by Moroccan producer and songwriter RedOne, real name Nadir Khayat, who has an eclectic CV: he previously worked with Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj, and now boasts the intriguing job title of "Creative Entertainment Executive" at FIFA.

"My idea was that the entire Santiago Bernabeu would come together to sing," RedOne told El Confidencial in 2014. "I was a bit nervous to see how the fans would react. I know what I'm doing, I've written a lot [of songs] but the Madrid crowd is very different ... When I'm at the stadium [and hear the song] I burst into tears. It's very emotional."

The song was recorded ahead of the 2014 Champions League final in Lisbon -- in which Real beat Atletico 4-1 after extra time -- and released afterward, topping the Spanish charts. Its accompanying music video features the entire Madrid squad as Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema and the rest head to the studio to take part in the song's recording. No dress code was imposed: Modric is wearing a cardigan; manager Carlo Ancelotti sports a youthful leather jacket. 152ee80cbc
