Fons de Blues

In 2006, the FONS DE BLUES (Blues Archive) was created by mutual agreement between the  SBB (Barcelona Blues Society) and Tecla Sala’s Library in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (Spain).

Since December 2012, FONS DE BLUES also expanded its range and became the official Blues Archive of the European Blues Union. This non-profit European association officially asked the library to document, preserve and offer to users as much information as possible about the Blues in Europe.

Tecla Sala’s Library has been gradually buying and accepting donated blues documents (books, CDs, DVDs, magazines, etc.) that have been compiled and classified by the library’s team, and are available for the public’s use. FONS DE BLUES now has 5000 documents in their collection.

Some members of the SBB who are also members of the EBU are able to visit the Blues Markets to collect records and other documents from all over Europe. FONS DE BLUES hosted at Tecla Sala’s Library is the most important archive of Spanish Blues music, European Blues and even American Blues. FONS DE BLUES has become the reference point for blues fans in Europe.
