Obrint Pas

Obrint Pas is a music group originally from Valencia, Spain, known for their unique blend of rock, ska, and reggae, with a distinct incorporation of traditional Valencian instruments and melodies. Formed in 1993, the band quickly became a staple in the Valencian music scene, gaining a following for their energetic performances and their commitment to singing in Catalan, the local language of their native region, which they have used as a vehicle to convey messages of social and political activism.

Over their career, which spans decades, Obrint Pas has released several albums that have been well received both critically and by fans. Their music often features a distinctive mix of electric guitar, bass, and drums, alongside the traditional Valencian wind instrument, the dolçaina, and the percussion tamborí, creating a sound that is both modern and deeply rooted in their cultural heritage. Some of their notable releases include "La Flama," which had a remix titled "La flama (Lo Puto Cat Remix)," and live recordings like "La vida sense tu (Live)," showcasing the band's dynamic live energy. Albums such as “Coratge” and “Benvingut Al Paradís” have solidified their position in the music world, with "En Moviment" exemplifying their dedication to both their craft and their socio-political messages. Their self-titled album “Obrint Pas” and releases like “Terra” and “La Revolta de l'Ànima” reflect the band's lyrical focus on themes of identity, resistance, and the struggles of the human spirit. Despite announcing a hiatus in 2014, Obrint Pas left a lasting legacy on the music scene, particularly within the Valencian community and among those who cherish the blend of folk tradition and contemporary sound.
