Today we talk about music. In this case, a
music group that sings in Catalan. Maybe you find it a bit boring that I am
always talking about Catalan language and my culture, but I've noticed that
when you're away from your land you sorely miss your language and customs. In
Spanish we have a term that comes from Galician that perfectly express this
feeling: morriña (something similar
to the English term ‘homesickness’). Turning to my favourite music group, its
name is Aspencat and its members are from the region of La Marina Alta, in the Valencian Country. Their style is based on
ska, reggae and drum and bass, but now they've moved towards a more electronic
rhythms. They have been considered one of the most critic groups
with the Valencian institutional culture due to the content of their work. In
2013 they finished second in the Premi al
Disc Català de l'Any (Award to the best CD in Catalan of the year), if they had won they would have been the first Valencian group to win this award. The
last time I saw them in a concert was in the Aplec dels Ports, a festival held in the region of Els Ports (Valencian Country) in the summer of 2013. Below you can
hear one of the songs that I most like of this group:
