Ovidi Montllor was a multifaceted Spanish artist, renowned for his work as a musician, actor, and poet, though he is predominantly celebrated for his contributions to the Catalan music scene. Born on February 4, 1942, in Alcoi, Valencia, Spain, Montllor's artistic journey was deeply intertwined with the political landscape of Spain during the Francoist dictatorship. His commitment to cultural expression and political dissent through art made him a significant figure in the Nova Cançó movement, a movement that sought to affirm the Catalan identity and language through music.

Montllor's music was characterized by its poetic lyricism and emotive performances. His poignant lyrics often reflected social and political commentaries, drawing from personal experiences and broader societal issues. With a career spanning several decades until his untimely death on March 10, 1995, Montllor left behind an indelible legacy that continues to inspire. Albums such as "Un Entre Tants..." and "Crònica D'un Temps" are testament to his enduring influence, while commemorative compilations like "Ovidi Montllor : 10é Aniversari" underscore the lasting resonance of his work, marking him as one of the voices that shaped the cultural and musical landscape of the Catalan region.
