Obrint Pas

Obrint Pas (Catalan pronunciation: [oˈbɾim ˈpas], "Breaking Through") was a band from Valencia, Valencian Community. Their music is a mixture of rock, ska, reggae, hardcore punk, and folk. Their songs include traditional instruments—including the Valencian dolçaina—and melodies. Their lyrics often contain themes of protest, solidarity, the territorial unity and independence of the Catalan Countries, promotion of the Catalan language, and the revindication of Valencian culture and traditions. They also consider antifascism and antiracism. Their lyrics, melodies, and political coherence influenced the first generation born after the death of Francisco Franco: the first generation with access to education in the Valencian language.
