LA PEGATINA

DOSSIER February 2007
by LaPegatina.com

The band was born in 2003 with the name of Pegatina Sound System, when Ovidi i Adrià meet Rubén, who up to this moment was playing alone, and decide to throw forward the project, without knowing to where it could come. One year later already they were taking more than 20 performances to their backs and were one of the most active groups in Catalan market. Also they were starting to take part in festivals and performances in different Spain places. They established the definitive oficial name "La Pegatina", and with more than 150 concerts it raises, they continue enjoying and surprising like the first day.

They belong to a generation who has lived through the ascent of the mestizaje in the international panorama and who has grown with the return of the Catalan rumba to the musical youth panorama, the components of the group have been greatly influenced by the environment of Barcelona's Gothic neighborhood, which, even being born in Montcada i Reixac, they represent: they mix the Spanish, Catalan and the Galician in their songs, in some cases, dare with other languages as English or the French.

La Pegatina is a group with vocation of playing live. A non-pretensious style, focused directly on the public who has ahead. Fundamentally urban group, some of their bestr representations have been in squares, streets, suburban trains or buses, calling attention on people and making them dance and sing.

And what do they play? Urban Rumba! That kind of rumba that make you move so much and ask for more, until you are too tired to walk... They are show-addicts, who play simple but direct music and words which are repeated and shouted by most of the public that see them. Days after seeing them live, you can discover yourself singing some of their rumbitas...
Their songs contain protest messages in defense of human rights, respect and agains injustice, war and lie, using normally nearby examples to illustrate these universal values.

Their first CD " Al Carrer! " appeared at 2007's beginning, after an intense working autumn in LLobregat's Sukhà de Hospitalet, where they combined the Cd record at Studio, with last year's performances. " Al Carrer! " consists of 13 songs played in "La Pegatina" pure style, and including a genuine bonus track. The Cd is full of important collaborations: Gambeat (Radio Bemba's bass) gives his help for the whole CD, Leo and Kachafaz (Che Sudaka's members) contribute for "No a la guerra" song, Alguer (Txarangö) at "Penjat", Emma Calafell gives her voice for "Petrolero", and Manu Chao plays the guitar at "O Camareiro" (this song appeared at "A Per Loca" compilation, but they reversioned it)
In conclusion, "La pegatina" means party, happiness, dancing and fun!
