After the awarding of the Princess of Asturias Award for the Arts to Joan Manuel Serrat (80 years old), which he has described as the best way to end his career, the ‘noi del Poble Sec’ can be more than proud of the legacy that he leaves to his most fervent admirers. Not only in the form of memorable songs and albums, but also the artistic heritage that he has transmitted to his descendants.
His granddaughter Luna, influencer, singer and actress
His daughter Candela (38 years old), who will soon grandpa will do it for the sixth time, triumphs in her profession as an actress. We have seen her in series like ‘Six Sisters’, ‘Charonte’ or ‘I’m Alive’. But also her granddaughter Luna de ella (27 years old), a well-known influencer, follows in her footsteps in music and composition, and also in the field of acting. Humblely, Luna has stated: “No one expects me to write ‘Mediterranean’ because I’m going to disappoint them, I have enough with my demands”. And we all agree on that, including her, with Joan Manuel Serrat the mold was broken and there will never be another like him.
Luna Serrat is Queco Serrat’s first-born daughter.
Luna, in a video she shared on her Instagram account, revealed that she has studied many things until she finally discovered what made her absolutely happy. “I would have studied mathematics. My grandfather was a mathematician and he was my math teacher, and I loved it. I ended up doing journalism and audiovisual communication, because it was the simplest way I could dedicate myself to the world of arts through another avenue. I thought about doing music journalism, I went to work in radio. First I was on a radio station in Madrid, doing internships, then They caught me on a radio station in Barcelona, I moved, I went to live there and that’s when I realized that it wasn’t enough“explains the influencer.
Luna has studied singing and musical theater.
“What I like is theater, it’s what makes me happy”
With a grandfather being a singing star and a father, Queco Serrat (55 years old), who is an audiovisual producer, that Luna chose to dedicate herself to the world of the arts should not surprise anyone. During her radio experience on ‘The 40 Principals’, Luna knew that was not what she wanted to do. “I was close to the arts, but I was only close, not inside. I returned to Madrid, I started studying dramatic art while I did a master’s degree in business leadership, because everyone told me that where I was going only with dramatic art. .. I have a resume full of things, but what I like is theaterit’s what makes me happy and what I should have studied from the beginning.”
With 60,000 followers on her Instagram account, her work as an influencer allowed Luna pay for his acting and singing studies. “My parents already paid for a career for me. I was wrong, although everything has made me where I am, it was not the career of my dreams, I did it out of fear and Now that I study what I am passionate about, I go to classes with a desire that I am dying forNow I’m really Luna“he declared in an interview with Europa Press.
Composes, sings and plays the guitar
Luna Serrat also stands out for her role as a composer. A year and a half ago she debuted with her first song, composed by her and her friend Natalia Gil., sister of the actress and singer Lucía Gil (‘The Call’, ‘Your face sounds familiar’). On her Instagram account, Luna has posted two videos in which she plays the guitar and sings ‘Although you don’t know it’, a song by Enrique González that, she claims, has accompanied her all her life, and a version of ‘El least expected day’, by Beret.
But his thing is the interpretation and He has already made his first steps on stage and in a short film, ‘When (me) you look at’directed by Antonio Raposo and awarded the Audience Award at the 27th LesGaiCineMad Festival.
His famous grandfather is his biggest fan
“There are moments that, no matter how hard you try, cannot be explained. I’ve been going all my life to see my grandfather go on stage and now he’s coming to see me“Luna wrote in July of last year along with a photo with her famous grandfather, who went to see her perform at the Teatro del Barrio, in Madrid, where Raquel Pérez’s theater school performed the play ‘A Shot at the Moon ‘.

Seeing her oldest granddaughter perform on stage was a source of great pride for Joan Manuel Serrat. Luna was born when the singer was 53 years old, making him a young grandfather. Despite living in different cities, Joan Manuel and his eldest son, Queco, were always very close, as has also been the case with Queco’s two daughters, Luna and Lucía (22 years old), the youngest, who was named after one of the Catalan singer-songwriter’s best-known songs.
“A hard-working artist is better than a talented artist”
It goes without saying that if the grandfather is proud of his granddaughter, the admiration that Luna has always felt for her grandfather is immense. Since Serrat announced his retirement, Luna made it a point to attend all the concerts on her farewell tour.

The saying goes that the breed comes from the greyhound and Luna has inherited the artistic gene of the Serrat surname, like her aunt Candela, from whom she receives, as we have learned, wise advice. But not everything is in the genes. “My grandfather told me: a hard-working artist is better than a talented artist, that is very clear to me.“, Luna acknowledges.
