A Legendary Career
Gertrudis will put an end to 25 years of career with a farewell tour that will start on April 20th at the Cruïlla DO Terra Alta and will end on November 23rd at the Razzmatazz hall in Barcelona. The musical group from La Garriga will thus say goodbye to the stage after becoming a reference in festival and mixed music in Catalonia and accumulating an artistic career with nine published albums and more than 800 concerts that have taken them beyond the Catalan borders .
Innovators of the Catalan Rumba
The footprint of Xavi Ciurans, Xavi Freire, Edu Acedo and Marc Mas has also contributed to renewing Catalan rumba and bringing it closer to new generations. Tickets for Gertrudis’ last tour go on sale this Thursday at 8pm on the group’s website.
Unforgettable repertoire
At the concerts of the last tour, they will offer a repertoire where they will review the band’s main hits. Highlights include songs that have become intergenerational anthems such as the popular Samarreta, Bon dia vida, If everyone is silent, So far from you or Now I come from nowhere.
Featured Collaborations
Heirs of Dusminguet, also of Garriga, Gertrudis has collaborated throughout her career with artists such as Jarabe de Palo, Chambao, Macaco, Peret, La Pegatina, Txarango or Joan Garriga, among many others. In addition, they have also shared the stage with artists such as Kiko Veneno, The Wailers or Gipsy kings.
A Promising Start
Gertrudis established herself in 2004 with her first album Teta, with Catalan rumba as her favorite musical style and singing songs in both Catalan and Spanish. Xavi Ciurans (vocals), Xavi Freire (vocals and guitars) and Edu Acedo (vocals and violin), who form the core of the band, started the musical project when they were still at school.
An Incomparable Legacy
His albums have featured the production of great figures in today’s music such as Fernando Illán (producer of Rosario, Ketama and O’Funkillo among others) or Roger Rodés (Shakira, Nathy Peluso or Macaco, among others). Their ninth and final album, Before the End of the World, was released in the spring of 2023.
