Sopa De Cabra

Named after the Rolling Stones´ album Goats Head Soup, Sopa de Cabra are considered one of the pioneers of the Rock Catala movement. Previously of Ninyin´s Mine Workers Union Band, guitarist Joan "Ninyin" Cardona and bassist Francesc "Cuco" Lisicic teamed up with frontman , guitarist and drummer Josep "Pep" Bosch to form the band in 1986. Following two successful records, 1989´s self-titled debut and 1990´s La Roda, Sopa de Cabra cemented their status as Catalonia´s biggest band with a historic concert at the Palau Sant Jordi in 1991, but went on to alienate much of their fan base with 1993´s Spanish-sung flop Mundo Infierno. However, they soon restored their reputation with a string of critical and commercial success throughout the ´90s before calling it a day shortly after 2001´s Plou I Fa Sol. Just three months after their final show at the Razzmatazz Bar, founding member Cardona lost his battle with colon cancer, and four years later the group temporarily reconvened to record a new track in memory of its late guitarist, "Seguirem Somiant," which appeared on the tribute album Podré Tornar Enrere. In 2011, Sopa de Cabra announced a series of seven reunion shows in Barcelona, Girona, and Tarragona to celebrate their 25th anniversary. ~ Jon O´Brien, Rovi
