Orquestra Inventada

They say nothing is what it used to be… and music isn’t either. In the midst of an increasingly domesticated soundscape, a group of friends decide to blow up the stage with a project that’s more than a band — it’s an orchestra of rebellion, of celebration, of constant invention. This is how L’Orquestra Inventada is born: a crew capable of turning vermouth into a manifesto and punk into a poem with a thirst for mischief.

With influences ranging from The Clash to Skatalà, through the Ramones, Dr. Calypso, Brams, Kortatu or Crim, their sound blends the energy of ska, the edge of punk, and the tavern vibe where ideas flow free. But it’s not just about the music: their lyrics are poetic projectiles of commitment — speaking of language, land, popular epic, and memory with an attitude that makes thought dance and dance think.

With open-air festivals and grassroots stages as their natural habitat, L’Orquestra Inventada embraces the magic of collectivity and mystery as their calling card. Their debut single, a tribute to the poet Prere Quart, is already circulating as a statement of intent: a “Tirallonga de monosíl·labs” turned into an upbeat ska anthem, and a furious version of Corrandes d’exili — inspired by the exile-born poem written in Paris, December 1939 — keeping nostalgia and rage intact.

This Sant Jordi, they strike again with two new ska tracks: “Volem més català” and “Que la terra et sigui lleu, company Rocamora”, a musical homage to a tireless fighter who left us last November, but who remains present in every note of resistance.

On May 1st, the full demo drops. Not much else is known… and it doesn’t have to be: L’Orquestra Inventada is here to shake consciences, make barricades dance, and leave behind a trail of euphoria and shared rebellion wherever their sound is heard.
