OBRINT PAS

DOSSIER April 2006
by Obrint pas

Obrint Pas was born in Valencia in 1993 as a meeting between different teenage punk rock bands who had chosen to express themselves using the Catalan language. It was the first time that a modern band used the DOLCAINA, a traditional Valencian instrument used until then only in folklore music. The band mixed this element with ska, reggae, and melodic hardcore, thus developing the band's signature sound. Working since the beginning with an independent label (45 Revolutions) alongside other Valencian bands (such as Ki Sap, Sant Gatxo...), and later joining Propaganda pel fet! records, Obrint Pas has worked to help build an independent scene, delivering a message about changing the world, as well as our own local realities. Obrint Pas has over time grown to be one of the most internationally known Catalan Bands, having toured in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Sahara, Morrocco, Euskal Herria, Galiza and Spain. Every year, Obrint Pas plays about 100 concerts, including the most important Catalan festivals. Since 1997, Obrint Pas has released 5 albums: --1997 La Revolta de l'anima --2000 Obrint Pas--2002 Terra --2004 La Flama --2005 En Moviment! Their last album, En Moviment! was recorded live in Valencia with 10.000 people in attendance, and features different artists from Catalan cultural spectrum, as well as special guests like Fermin Muguruza (Kortatu & Negu Gorriak). It includes a DVD with all the show and some extras. The CD/DVD ranked in the top 20 of DVD sales in Spain during 3 weeks. The band has worked with different sounds: ska, reggae, cumbia, balcanic, melodic hardcore, punk rock, dub, jungle and drum & bass. DJ GABB & DJ CHOLA (Apotheke Crew) has mixed some songs of their last albums into dub & Drum & Bass versions. Valencia is a Mediterranean city where Catalan and Spanish are spoken, but there is a big struggle to keep our Catalan culture and language alive. The Spanish government doesn't respect our cultural identity, and Obrint Pas is one of the people's weapon to dignificate catalan language and culture. Solidarity and revolution are also the leithmotiv of this particullar band. Music can change this world!
