They are one of the most successful representatives of the "Rock Català" movement in the 2000s. Earlier in their career, they were characterized by their acoustics style -- just using guitars and bass, no percussion -- until 2002 when they added drums.

In summer 1993, Oriol Farré, Juanjo Muñoz, Natxo Tarrés and Roger Farré from Manresa, joined together to start a new band. They won an award with their first record "Gossos" (1994). After a few tours in Catalonia they edited their 2nd record "En privat" in 1996. Followed by "Mandala" (1997) and "Directament" (1998, recorded in the "Teatre Conservatori" of Manresa) with the collaboration of other consolidated members of the Catalan Rock like Cris Juanico, Gerard Quintana and Pemi Fortuny. In 2000 they recorded "De viaje", their only album in Castillian so far, followed by "Cares" (2001).

In 2002 they move away from their acoustical style to start using electric guitars and drums. Their latest albums recorded are "El Jardí del Temps" (2003), "8" (2005) and Oxygen (2007).

El camí
Gossos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

N'hi ha que pugen cap al cim,
Creuant-se amb els que baixen pel mateix camí
D'altres viatgen mar en dins,
Fugint de la misèria direcció al paradís

Mentre hi hagi un lloc on anar… hi haurà un camí
Una entrada i una sortida
Si podem veure l'horitzó… hi haurà un destí

Una cara que no s'oblida

Quan formi part dels teus records
Tanco els ulls… seré dins de la foscor
Serà el moment en què entendràs
Perquè no em vaig acomiadar

Plans, plans, plans, plans i més plans…
Moltes són les coses que portem entre mans
De vegades és la sort
La brúixola que ens guia fins arribar a port

Mentre hi hagi un lloc on anar… hi haurà un camí
Una entrada i una sortida
Si podem veure l'horitzó… hi haurà un destí
Una adéu que mai més s'oblida

Quan formi part dels teus records
Tanco els ulls… seré dins de la foscor
Serà el moment en què entendràs
Perquè no em vaig acomiadar

Quan formi part dels que no tornaran
Amb un somriure em podràs recordar
No ploris per mi… vaig tenir sort

Vaig trobar el camí…
El camí que porta al teu món
