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).

Fills de l'Abundància
Gossos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tu, tu vigila no ensopeguis amb la por
Amb la por que distorciona els teus sentits.
No et sentis incapaç.

Perquè tots apostem per viure
Amb pressa el nostre temps
Per no aturar-te i veure com t'estan venent
Gran part del teu temps

Allò que un dia era or.
Com pot ser que hi hagi gent que passi gana per tot arreu?
El progrés és la distància entre la gent
Què és el que ens passa?
És tan difícil, potser?
Si et veus capaç de decidir per tu i per mi
Un sol camí. Digues en veu baixa:

FILLS DE L'ABUNDÀNCIA
LLUNY DEL IMPOSSIBLES
NEIXEN CADA DIA
SENSE SABER QUÈ ÉS VIURE.

Tu, tu vigila....

Nina de draps bruts, quadres blancs i vermells
Que espatllada gires
Els ulls cap al cel.

Què és el que et passa? T'has quedat sola?

Si et veus....

FILLS DE L'ABUNDÀNCIA

Fills de l'esperança, d'un futur possible
Neixen cada dia sense poder ser lliures

Overall Meaning

The song "Fills de l'Abundància" by Gossos is a politically charged anthem calling for societal change. The opening lines of the song address fear and how it distorts one's senses. The lyrics urge the listener not to give into fear and to believe in their own capabilities. The song then delves into societal issues such as the fast-paced living, consumerism, and the increasing distance between people due to progress. The lyrics question how there can be people going hungry in a world where so much wealth and abundance exists. The chorus, "Fills de l'Abundància" means "children of abundance" and seems to reference those who are privileged and well-off, but are also part of a system that perpetuates inequality.

The second verse focuses on the story of Nina, a poor girl with dirty rags and torn clothes, who looks up at the sky with a dulled expression. The lyrics question her state of mind and whether she has been left alone to struggle. The song's message becomes even more clear as the chorus repeats, calling on all "Fills de l'Abundància" to work towards a future where everyone can be free and live without fear, regardless of their economic status.

The song is a powerful commentary on current societal issues that are still prevalent today. Its message resonates with many who feel disillusioned with the current state of the world and the systems that perpetuate inequality.
