A group that blends folk, pop, and electronics while writing lyrics about social themes.
They're the kind of songs that explain why the band has lasted.
Manel writes and performs almost entirely in Catalan, which has kept them a local favorite in Barcelona rather than an international name. Songs like 'No T'enyoro' and 'El Miquel I L'olga Tornen' show how they fold folk traditions into pop melodies. Their lyrics often touch on social and political issues, which has drawn both fans and critics over the years.
They formed in Barcelona in the early 2000s and released their first album, 'Els Millors Professors Europeus', in 2008. Their most recent record is 'Per la Bona Gent' from 2019, and they've kept the same lineup through five albums. The band still works out of Barcelona, sticking with their mix of Catalan folk, pop, and electronic sounds.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
