It was formed in Valladolid (Castilla y León) in 1986. Eight friends, four of which played in the group Almenara decided to participate in a music contest under the name "Colectivo Eurofolk". They won the first prize and continued to play together changing their name to Celtas Cortos.
They won another contest in April 1987, the prize was the production of an album. They shared the prize with two other winners, so they contributed three songs to the album Así es como suena: Folk joven.
Executive producer Paco Martín helped them get out their first album, Salida de emergencia, with only instrumental songs. The next album, Gente Impresentable added the voice and the lyrics of Jesús H. Cifuentes (Cifu) to the powerful instruments. Their celtic rock style was combined with protest and other more melancholic lyrics. Through the years their music mixed with different styles such as Caribbean music, flamenco, electronic music or reggae. Their list of hits include 20 de Abril, La senda del tiempo or Tranquilo Majete.
In 2002 Cifu left the group, a definitive turning point after the departure of César Cuenca and Nacho Martín. In the beginning of 2006 Cifu comes back to the group to prepare their next release, 20 years after their foundation.
Gente Distinta
Celtas Cortos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eres un ser anormal
Y si no haces lo que debes
Alguien te va a disparar
Lucha por la anarquía
Mata a la falsedad
Aspira una caladita
Y no dejes de volar
No aceptes más sumisiones
Una casa hay que ocupar
Mantener la puerta abierta
Para que más puedan pasar
Los partidos son la mierda
Los fascistas los que más
Si de esto te das cuenta
Algo has aprendido ya
Somos gente distinta
Aquí hay un lugar
Tienes la puerta abierta
Para poder pasar
Pasa hasta la cocina
En tu casa estás
Somos gente distinta
Buscando libertad
The song "Gente Distinta" by Celtas Cortos, speaks about rebellion and freedom from societal norms and expectations. The lyrics begin by stating that if you do what you want, you are viewed as abnormal, and if you don't do what is expected of you, then someone will shoot at you. The lyrics go on to encourage fighting for anarchy and rejecting submission to societal norms. The listener is encouraged to take a deep breath and keep flying, to keep fighting for freedom. The lyrics mention occupying homes, and keeping doors open for others to come in, and emphasizes that political parties and fascists are the enemy. The lyrics emphasize the idea that those who have realized this truth are different people, and they have a place in a community of people who seek freedom.
The song reflects the sentiments of the Spanish anarchist movement and counterculture of the 80s and 90s which opposed the traditional Spanish social and political order. The song captures the frustration and anger towards the oppressive political system that has been a part of Spanish society throughout history. The song praises the anarchist movements and ideals of rejecting the traditional societal norms, while at the same time criticizing political parties and fascism.
