From Estopa’s first unreleased song in Catalan to their concerts in America

Music news

Tow They are, probably, the two Catalan musicians who have made us enjoy the most with their songs over the last 25 years. But perhaps in those two and a half decades they had been left with a thorn in their side: singing in Catalan. And there is nothing better to close stages and objectives than a tribute to another musician who marked his origins.: Antonio GonzĆ”lez ‘El PescaĆ­lla’.

And that’s precisely what his new song is called: PescaĆ­lla’s rumba. Their first song in Catalan with which, together with TV3 and Catalunya Radio, they pay tribute to his legendary figure. And they do it in the best way they know how: with a rumba that bears their sound stamp.

This is the second song that we have been able to hear and enjoy from their new album project, Estopƭa, which will be released next March 2024 and with which the brothers David and JosƩ MuƱoz will celebrate the 25 years of their album debut with that record that bore witness to that demo that changed their lives.

It must be remembered that Estopa already sang in Catalan with Albert Pla but it was a version of another song by the Catalan composer: The junk room.

Those from CornellĆ” de Llobregat continue to polish all the details of a 2024 that has many commitments for them live and direct. In addition to the two large stadiums that have sold out all the tickets, and the 3 previous concerts of his 25th anniversary tour We must now add the 5 concerts they have confirmed in America in the month of April.

Caracas, Miami, Lima, Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires have been the chosen scenarios whose tickets will soon go on sale.

Lyrics of La rumba del PescaĆ­lla

Li deien El PescaĆ­lla

he was a very good person

but the one you liked the most

the city of Barcelona.

I 1925

goes neixer l’Antonio GonzĆ”lez

touching the fan,

the palms and the timpani

Let him knock him down, let him knock him down

It’s PescaĆ­lla’s rumba

Lolailo lolailo lolailolo

How lucky how wonderful

Let him knock him down, let him knock him down

It’s PescaĆ­lla’s rumba

Lolailo lolailo lolailolo

How lucky how wonderful

On a street in GrĆ cia

on no hi there was a lamppost cap,

Llum la rumba is going to donate

in the cos d’a person

On a street in GrĆ cia

on no hi there was a lamppost cap,

Llum la rumba is going to donate

in the cos d’a person

Li deien El PescaĆ­lla

he was a very good person

but the one you liked the most

the city of Barcelona.

The truest rumba

It is what comes out of the body,

that the more times I sing,

more times than I get happy

that the more times I sing,

more times than I get happy

The truest rumba

It is what comes out of the body,

that the more times I sing,

more times than I get happy

that the more times I sing,

more times than I get happy

The truest rumba

It is what comes out of the body,

that the more times I sing,

more times than I get happy

that the more times I sing,

more times than I get happy

The truest rumba

It is what comes out of the body,

that the more times I sing,

more times than I get happy

that the more times I sing,

more times than I get happy

The truest rumba

It is what comes out of the body,

that the more times I sing,

more times than I get happy
