For those who want to know a little more about us La Col.lá Propinde has been on an incredible ascension since the group was founded in 2000.The band takes different sonorities from the ancient repertoire and then enriches it with many other different music styles ranging from pop, rock or ska to reggae but always without moving away from traditional lines and Celtic roots, having as a result a fresh sound involved with social realities. The band has released two albums with the record company “L´Aguañaz” and collaborated with famous bands and many relevant artists. Its first Cd “L.L” was a total success for its incredible compositions and the song “L´Emigrante“ was awarded as the best Folk song in Asturian 2003. In November 2005 a new album was released and the name was “Güeria” and was dedicated to all those countrymen and women who are working hard in their fields with the only ambition of survival.
La Col.lá Propinde is a mountain pass spread from the Asturian part of “Parana” to the Leonese slope of “Pendilla”.The name comes from the latin espression “pro” plus ”penditam”(beside the slope) and it was first used by “Virgilius” as a free passage from the ancient Iberian Peninsula tableland to the green lands of Asturias through the high mountains. It was also used as an strategical hillock by “Carisio” when Romans were trying to conquer Asturias coming from south to North. After many centuries,the mountain pass was used mainly by stockbreeders and cattle dealers who wanted to trade with the cattle or just move to new pastures. We can say without any doubt that la Col.lá Propinde was a kind of “entrance” or “gate” always opened to new cultures coming from many places to Asturias and sharing their knowledge,folklore and traditions which are now part of our way of life. |
