The new pop Catalan has broken borders.
Many groups do not flag their language, but merely to use it.
Has emerged a phenomenon that sells records and attract audiences throughout Spain.
And as a starting point of this movement is the group Mallorca Antiochus ² nia Font. They released their new album Lamparetes in mid-April, after five years of silence. Will present at the Sea of Music on Tuesday 19 July at the Town Hall square to 20.00 hours.
And they do it replaces Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, who have suspended their European tour for the month of July.
A few days ago it was known that the quartet Barcelona Manel just won a small feat with his second album, 10 miles per veure a bona armor, making it the first album sung by a pop group in Catalan, which reaches the first position in the list best-seller in Spain.
Manel not come out of nowhere: this irresistible foursome crossing folk, indie-band group of people is part of a relatively new breed of artists who have forever changed the way that you could see the music sung in Catalan and has a Font Antiochus ² nia as a reference.
Antiochus ² nia Font is a group formed in 1997 in Mallorca with a music characterized by its lively tone and fantasy lyrics.
Letters with a dream and a point sound and catchy melodies worked.
Common themes in his music are the space, astronomy, astronautics, robotics, or the sea.
The quintet Spaniard has become the arena after years of rest from his last job Coser i sing and the whole tour which meant the same, and does so with his sixth studio Lamparetes, first published from his own label Innocase Robot, and the who entered a firm foothold in the official list of sales.
Something that proves the current momentum within the pop Catalan and that Antiochus ² nia Font is partly responsible for more than a decade even now when everything seems to have arisen.
With Lamparetes, Pau Debon (vocals), Joan Miquel Oliver (guitar and vocals), Jaume Manresa (keyboards), Joan Roca (bass) and Manel Pere Debon (drums), renew the identifying sign of his trademark pop.
The disc contains unlike his previous works have been composed with less electronic elements that we were accustomed, in this case relieved by stronger acoustic guitars.
His lyrics, normal strength of the band, also represent an evolution in the subject of opera, being less cryptic and more direct, without losing one iota of originality.
Movement or coincidence, the current pop boiling in Catalan owes much to Antiochus ² nia Font.
Earlier this decade, its upbeat pop and cosmic lyrics no political content was the first to break with the cliches of rock dying Catalan nineties.
So we'll see on Tuesday 19 July at Mar de Músicas L 2011, a festival dedicated to Italy, to be held from 8 to 23 July in Cartagena.
