The figure of Pope Francis Vartebra the origin and also the last milestone of Hakuna’s musical faction. It is at the origin of this Catholic youth movement founded in 2013 in Madrid by the priest José Pedro Manglano, in response to the mood of Pope Francis during the World Youth Day (WYD) of Rio de Janeiro. There the Pope encouraged young people to “make mess”, and Hakuna has taken it to the letter, riding a very notorious cyber this Saturday. Not only music. The growth of movement has been exponential. He was born as a group of related young people in part to Opus Dei, who met in San Josemaría de Aravaca, but soon began to attract other young people. He started as an association of faithful, many of them lay, who gathered privately, but soon began to extend, first in Spain, and since 2018, internationally: Hakuna is currently in more than twenty countries and more than 70 cities around the world. But above all, music. No one escapes that this is the nucleus of Hakuna’s appeal: music always was part of Hakuna’s initial meetings, which in 2015 take shape like a first album. It is the second, ‘My poor mad’, which gives them a greater impact.

The event, which is already for its third edition, congregated more than 85,000 people. Party and prayer. Related to that purpose of “making mess” proposed by the Pope and that appears very clear on the official Hakuna website, no doubt what congregates 85,000 people in cyber on a Saturday is that feeling Catholic is not at odds with the party. This is corroborated by the many immersion chronicles in the phenomenon they have carried out newspapers such as Independientewhere statements of faithful who follow Hakuna are collected even on trips in different countries, and where what the songs help to immerse themselves in the Catholic faith, the accessible and direct of the songs, and how that fits, in its own way, in its own way, with a beer after a concert of the group is underlined. The musical arm. The Hakuna phenomenon is so extraordinary that it has become examined in Papers Academic who inquire into their role as a secular organization and as a reinforcement of a collective identity.
