Estopa Releases New Song "La Rumba del Pescaílla" - First Catalan Song in 25 Years

Estopa are probably the two Catalan musicians who have made us enjoy the most with their songs over the last 25 years. But perhaps in those two and a half decades they had been left with a thorn in their side: singing in Catalan. And there is nothing better to close stages and objectives than a tribute to another musician who marked his origins: Antonio González ‘El Pescaílla’.

And that is precisely the name of his new song: La rumba del Pescaílla. Their first song in Catalan with which, together with TV3 and Catalunya Radio, they pay tribute to his legendary figure. And they do it in the best way they know how: with a rumba that bears their sound stamp.

This is the second song that we have been able to hear and enjoy from their new album project, Estopía, which will be released next March 2024 and with which the brothers David and José Muñoz will celebrate the 25 years of their album debut with that record that bore witness to that demo that changed their lives.

It must be remembered that Estopa already sang in Catalan with Albert Pla but it was a version of another song by the Catalan composer: Lo Cuarto de los Trastos.

Those from Cornellá de Llobregat continue to polish all the details of a 2024 that has many commitments for them live and direct. In addition to the two large stadiums for which they have sold all the tickets, and the 3 previous concerts of their 25th anniversary tour, we must now add the 5 concerts they have confirmed in America in the month of April.

Caracas, Miami, Lima, Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires have been the chosen venues whose tickets will soon go on sale.

Lyrics of La rumba del Pescaílla

They called him El Pescaílla

He was a very good person

but what he liked the most

the city of Barcelona.

And in 1925

Antonio González was born

touching the fan,

the palms and the timpani

Let him knock him down, let him knock him down

It’s Pescaílla’s rumba

Computer computer computer

How lucky how wonderful
