Cobla La Principal de la Bisbal is a renowned ensemble deeply rooted in the rich musical tradition of Catalonia, Spain, specifically dedicated to the performance of sardanes, the traditional Catalan dance and genre of music. This eminent cobla (the Catalan word for a traditional music ensemble) has firmly etched its name in the annals of Catalan musical culture, thanks to its dedication to preserving and promoting the sardane. The group hails from La Bisbal d'Empordà, a town known for its ceramics and vibrant musical culture, which has significantly influenced their sound and repertoire.

Over the years, Cobla La Principal de la Bisbal has distinguished itself not only through performances of traditional sardanes but also through its commitment to bringing forgotten pieces back to life, as evidenced by their extensive discography including titles like "Sardanes Oblidades IV" and "Enregistraments Històrics 1". Their works such as "Complicitats" and "Camins de Somnis. Sardanes de Joan Lázaro" showcase their collaboration with contemporary composers, indicating their role in the evolution of the genre. Celebrating over 25 years of music, as commemorated in "Concert 25è Aniversari", the ensemble has also made significant contributions to the recorded legacy of Catalan music, solidifying their place as cultural ambassadors and key proponents of the sardane movement. Through their performances and recordings, Cobla La Principal de la Bisbal continues to enchant audiences with the timeless beauty and communal spirit of Catalan musical tradition.
