Tancas Abertas

Maria Carta was one of the most important interpreters of traditional Sardinian music, and the award dedicated to her celebrates her extraordinary contribution to Sardinian culture and identity.

The award, established in 2003, is given to individuals or entities that have distinguished themselves in their work of enhancing and promoting Sardinian culture, but also other traditions and popular cultures.

The event usually takes place in September and attracts a large audience of enthusiasts, artists, and scholars. It helps to keep the memory of Maria Carta alive and promote Sardinia as a land of culture, art, and secular traditions.

Beyond the cultural value, the "Maria Carta Award" is an important opportunity for meeting and exchange, where not only the cultural heritage of Sardinia is celebrated, but also the universal legacy of popular traditions.
