Adrià Puntí

Adrià Puntí is a Catalan composer and songwriter from Girona. He was the leading singer of Umpah-pah one of the first successful groups of the "Rock Catala" in the early 1990s. The first two albums of the group ("Raons de pes" -1991- and "Bamboo Avenue" -1992-) were fresh and unconventional including songs ("La catximba", "Carta a Donosti", ...) which become well known thanks to their characteristic long & complex lyrics played/sang with a very singular interpretative style.
