and all the fans sing along in unison. The song was written in 1974 as part of Barcelona's 75th Anniversary Celebrations.
The lyrics are by Jaume Picas and Josep M. Espinàs and it is set to the music of Manuel Valls Gorina On November 27,
1974,and as part of the Club's 75th Anniversary celebrations, 'Cant del Barça', was solemnly sung for the first time by
3,500voices conducted by Oriol Martorell.


Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and Catalan footballers led by Joan Gamper
, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto
"Més que un club" (More than a club). Unlike many other football clubs,
the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the second most valuable sports team
in the world, worth $3.56 billion, and the world's second richest football club
in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €560.8 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the "Cant del Barça",
written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs.
