Plega Oques Grasses and now there is a concert at the Lluís Companys stadium, tickets sold out in minutes and with more than 100,000 buyers waiting. An unusual fact in the panorama of Catalan music, and an aggressive finale for an entire era. The fans are undeniably enthusiastic about his arrival, but also about the excitement that will remain in the Catalan circuit. After all the effervescence of the music press, our television formats and the valorization of segell, clubs and festivals, the question is inevitable: who will sing Catalunya like the Osona group did?
Oques Grasses is in the midst of the expansion of pop and pop-rock: Els Amics de les Arts play everywhere Jean-LucMishima consolidates with the emblematic ja Order and Adventureand Manel was at the point de treure 10 miles to sight good armorwith the aim of becoming the group of the decade. At the same time, what was later titled trumpet groups of the main festival began to play: La Pegatina, Gertrudis and Búhos apostaven pel mestissatge festiu de ska, rumba and reggae, and, a couple of years later, Txarango would become a reference of the genre, both in political literature and you were optimistic, whistles Hey oioiois. Potser, la transversalitat d’Oques Grasses sees that it does not entirely fall within the ambit of these onades and, for the moment, of being the hereus. Oques Grasses revived the festival of optimism, but also the sensitivity of totems with Els Pets. A sincere sentimentality, which is neither feixuga nor false, and which not only invites you to accompany it, but sings it to you.
A second date at the Lluís Companys stadium, completed in 10 minutes, confirms that the music of Oques Grasses challenges it intergenerationally, not just for a moment, but for a people. Disc rere disc, the group has incorporated our children and our musical tendencies, along with the names of the scene, but has an identity that persists. The melody is well-tuned, singable, inviting, an optimistic melangia Life is beautiful, but complicated; some letters that know how to express the universal, the collective, the verse and the music, a celebration.
The bearers explain to them six times that they will start with a group of friends and then stop to finish with a group of friends too. Potser, Clau is involved in the accident. Every month the music circuits influence the format of the proposals, and the proposals change the artists. The desfeta of sales in petit teixit deixa sense sceneri tot a musical genre, which is the only space of flowering that does vint anys, and the predominance of the festivals with a dominant musical espai makes that they begin to bet gairebé exclusively on the concert-show of large production. This is why, just like Oques Grasses is doing, there are also fascinating groups like El Remei de Ca la Fresca, Alosa or La Ludwig Band, proposals that precisely, in one way or another, play against each other. Potser, rather than wondering who will occupy the space of Oques Grasses, we have also started to fixate on which space to leave because we think things are new.
