Caramella was founded in 1999 as a semiannual magazine dedicated to Catalan popular music and culture. It emerged from the collaboration of three cultural entities: Carrutxa (based in Baix Camp and Priorat), Solc (based in Lluçanès), and Associació Tramús, Tradició i Música (based in Horta de València). These organizations had long worked in their respective territories to document and promote traditional music and ethnological heritage. The magazine was conceived as a framework for exchanging experiences among scholars, associations, musicians, and the public. Since its inception, each issue has been monographic, focusing on a specific theme with contributions from researchers across the Països Catalans. The music critic and scholar Josep Vicent Frechina has served as coordinator. Caramella is a member of APPEC, the association of Catalan-language periodicals. The magazine is published in Prats de Lluçanès, where the Associació Caramella is based. Over the years, it has maintained a regular publication schedule, reaching at least 52 issues by the early 2020s, and has expanded its online presence with a website offering summaries, subscription details, and points of sale.
