The 'cobla' is a uniquely Catalan wind band comprising 11 instrumentalists, which emerged at the same time as the new 'sardana' [circular, open dance], the Sardana Llarga [long sardana] during the second half of the 19th century. This transformation of Catalan music was born out of important movements of the time - the 'modernist' movement which accompanied the change from traditional, essentially rural, society to the modern, industrial society. The second was the Catalan Renaixenca concerned with linguistic conservation and political autonomy.

Old instruments such as the 'sac de gemecs' [bagpipes] and 'tarota' [rustic oboe] disappeared and were replaced in the 'cobla' by: the 'flabiol' [short wooden flute]; the 'tambori' [small drum]; two 'tible' [woodwind, similar to clarinet]; two 'tenora' [woodwind, similar to clarinet or oboe]; 2 trumpets; 1 trombone; 2 'fiscorn' [similar to small tuba] & 1 double bass.

This release compiles arkhival historic recordings by various bands first issued on 78rpm records between 1920 & 1930. sounds like somethin i heard in my childhood, but i can't trace time. 320 remerciements à mon cher frère espilos. plus
