La Troba Kung-Fú is an innovative and dynamic musical group that emerged from the vivid streets of Barcelona, Spain, forming in 2003. Under the creative lead of Joan Garriga, former accordionist for the seminal mestizo band Dusminguet, La Troba Kung-Fú quickly gained a reputation for their eclectic and energetic style, blending elements of Catalan rumba, cumbia, reggae, and various other global music influences. Their name, a playful combination of Spanish and Chinese, reflects their fusion of cultural sounds — "La Troba" represents "the troupe" or "the ensemble" in Catalan, while "Kung-Fú" suggests a mastery of their artistic craft.

The band's album 'Santalegria', released in 2013, served as a testament to their musical evolution, showcasing their flair for creating a party atmosphere with a mix of traditional sounds and modern beats. Following the success of this celebratory release, La Troba Kung-Fú continued to explore the depths of Mediterranean and Latin music with works such as 'A la panxa del bou' and 'Clavell Morenet', further honing their signature sound. Their music, often characterized by infectious rhythms and the charismatic delivery of Garriga, bridges generations and genres, bringing a fresh, global perspective to the world music scene. Despite the group announcing a hiatus, their legacy continues to inspire with their innovative approach to making global music locally resonant and universally appealing.
