Xavi Sarrià is a prominent figure in the Valencian music scene, known for his poignant lyrics and commitment to social issues. As the former frontman of the politically charged rock band Obrint Pas, which operated from 1993 to 2014, Sarrià played a crucial role in the band's success, delivering music that blended elements of rock, ska, and traditional Valencian sounds. Obrint Pas was particularly known for their use of the Valencian language, and their songs often served as anthems for social justice and national identity.

After the group disbanded, Xavi Sarrià continued to make waves as a solo artist, crafting music that stayed true to his roots while exploring new sonic territories. His recent releases, such as "Balansiya" and "Un foc que creix," showcase his evolution as a musician, as well as his unrelenting passion for themes of resistance and hope. Tracks like "Causa" and "La nit ferida" have resonated with audiences, delivering powerful messages through emotive melodies. Sarrià's music also carries a strong cinematic quality, as evidenced by "No s'apaguen les estreles," which was featured in the soundtrack for the film "La mort de Guillem," further establishing his versatility and influence in both music and cultural spheres. His authentic voice and unwavering dedication to his craft continue to captivate fans, both old and new, as he sings with full heart—or "A ple pulmó"—and connects deeply with the pressing social narratives and personal stories of the day.
