REMEMBERING TO OVIDI. -

For those that we already spend of forty years old and we remember with pleasure
the Catalan music's better years in it generates, maybe some artists,
some tendencies and some glorious facts related with our
we find music at the moment pure and hard anthropology but, fortunately,
it must always be this way.
Maybe one of the more guessed right and practical cases of this theory endorses it
one of our big songwriters, unfortunately missing, Ovidi.
With a coherent, immaculate trajectory, at an artistic level and of commitment,
Ovidi was, without any doubt gender, one of the big ones and its memory will serve us
not only to explain their great musical and personal quality, but also as
example of what explained at the beginning of the article.
Ovidi, pure history of the Catalan Cançó, coming from Alcoi. it triumphs once dead.
and he makes it inside the youngest hearts in this country, some of
their more important songs have made versions for the new groups
of the music rock in Catalan and this to part of the fact that this youth
hee had already felt to speak of him for our generation he has made that Ovidi has
at the moment the glory that he could not enjoy in their last years of life.
This youth that grows the he/she makes with force and illusion, the present lives, but
it is also able to squeeze and of recycling the past, groups like Els inadaptats
with versions of songs of Ovidi like the Fera ferotge or Perquè vull
they make people to vibrate with the deceased's artist topics and love and admire
to him and their work.
This is really important for the Catalan language, for the artist and, also,
to remember the sufferings and the musicians' of that time angers, not
so distant in that many of their ideals are still to complete.
To end that an entire immense baggage of songs in Catalan doesn't become
in mere memory, a soporific relic, would be very interesting to publish those
songs already existent, burning history of the Nova Cançó and of Catalunya
in all the possible musical formats, the most varied versions and those
more diverse styles so that, in this way, this inexpressible rain
of songs, soaked of history and of fight, replete of love to our language,
spread and arrive to all the sectors possible of the Catalan society and all
and each one of us knows, love and feel proud of their musical history.
