Músicos Pola Oficialidá is an ensemble rather than a traditional band; it is a collective of musicians, singers, and bands from Asturias, a region in the north of Spain. They rallied together under the banner of "Músicos Pola Oficialidá" which translates to "Musicians for Official Status," indicating their shared advocacy for the official recognition of the Asturian language (also known as Bable or Asturianu), a Romance language spoken in the region. This group is characterized by their blend of Asturian folk sounds with contemporary music styles and their lyrics often tackle themes related to cultural identity, language rights, and regional pride.
Their discography includes politically charged and culturally enriching songs like "Llegó la hora" and "Nun Somos Llinguateros," which reflect their mission to promote the Asturian language. Collaborations with identifiable figures in the Asturian music scene like Xune Elipe and bands like Dixebra bring a sense of unity and strength to their message. "Falando" is a standout track that encapsulates their call to action and celebration of language through music. With their dynamic and passionate approach, Músicos Pola Oficialidá continues to be a persuasive voice for the Asturian language movement and cultural identity, achieving not just regional but also broader recognition for their engaging musical activism.
