Publication of the book La Ruta del Bakalao: Museo del Remember (1985-2012)

A project by Vista Oral with Rubén Hernández, Susana Oliva and Colpa Press.

The book tells the story of the cultural and musical movement that took place in and around Valencia’s dance clubs from the early 1980s to the late ’90s. Building upon the collection of flyers and merchandise from Rubén Hernández’s Museo del Remember with interviews, historical context, and images from the personal files of Susana Oliva, this publication approaches with affection a phenomenon whose origins are not well known and whose consequences have frequently been reviled. The aim is not to make a conclusive argument, but to reclaim a memory.
