Band members are: Xavi Sarrià (Guitar & vocals), Josep Pitarch, (Bass), Miquel Gironès (Dolçaina), Marc Guardiola (Drums), Robert Fernández (Guitar), Miquel Ramos ( Vocals & Keyboards).
Their first album came out in 1997 with the title La revolta de l'anima (The Soul's Revolution). Three years later, came Obrint Pas (2000), their first album with the record label Propaganda pel Fet. The consolidation of the group came with Terra(Land) in 2003, trying new styles. A year later, in 2004, they recorded La Flama (The Flame), which launched them onto the international scene with gigs in countries like Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Morocco and The Western Sahara.
Their last work En Moviment (Moving)(2005) is a live album with many collaborations such as Alex from Inadaptats, Fermin Muguruza, Al Tall... It was recorded in a tributing gig to Ovidi Montllor in Valencia ten years after his death. This work reached the TOP 20 bestseller albums in Spain (The only group singing in Catalan).
1939
Obrint Pas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
a les persones d'oblit i horror
amb l'esperan
ça clavada en la pell.
Cert no he estat cap testimoni
i no sé si això va passar així
però el que és segur és que el meu poble
va patir la mateixa sort que el seu.
The above lyrics are from the song "1939" by Obrint Pas. The song talks about the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War and the suffering endured by the people during that period. The lyrics recount how people were killed and forgotten, with the pain and suffering being etched on their skin. The singer, however, acknowledges that he did not witness these events and cannot be sure of their accuracy. Nevertheless, he is aware that his own people suffered the same fate.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of mourning and lamentation for what was lost during the war. It speaks to the emotional and physical pain that people experienced, and the anguish of seeing their world torn apart. This is embodied in lines like "em vas contar que els mataren" (you told me they killed them) which conveys a sense of personal loss and grief.
