Gerard Quintana
Gerard Quintana Rodeja ((:ʒəˈɾart kinˈtanə)) (born 27 November 1964, in Girona, Catalonia, Spain) is a Catalan singer, songwriter, poet, writer, actor, and radio and TV personality. He first came to prominence in 1986-2001 as the lead singer of the rock band Sopa de Cabra.〔This first phase of Quintana’s career, with Sopa de Cabra, is well documented in Pep Blay, ''Si et quedes amb mi: Sopa de Cabra'' (Barcelona 2002) ISBN 84-01-38607-1〕 Sopa de Cabra was one of the leading bands of the ''rock català'' genre. Since the dissolution of the band in 2001, he has pursued a very successful solo career. As a singer/songwriter independent of his extensive input into the original musical repertoire of Sopa de Cabra, he completed 5 well-received albums between 2003 and 2010, together with 3 in collaboration with Jordi Batiste, and a recent album (2014) with Xarim Aresté. His solo work from 2003-10 reveals a personal and intimate style which is not easily classified, but may, perhaps, be characterised as poetry and music about the human condition. He also writes and publishes poetry and has written regularly as a journalist for online Catalan newspapers and journals.〔e.g. and http://www.ara.cat/〕 He has published two books. He has appeared as an actor in films〔(Rateta, rateta (1990) - Full cast and crew ) http://www.catalanfilmsdb.cat/ca/produccions/ficcio-curtmetratge/diogenes-el-gos/5514〕 and on television, and as a presenter on Catalan TV and radio.
During the temporary reunion of Sopa de Cabra in 2011 to celebrate 25 years since the band's formation and ten since its final appearances, Quintana reverted to his original rock-star style of singing and performance, and his most recent work (2013-4), in collaboration with Xarim Aresté and a new supporting line-up, continues that approach.
Quintana is a very articulate and charismatic speaker, and has become a well-known figure in Catalan culture quite apart from his musicianship. In recent years he has not hesitated to express his personal political and ideological views, including his support for Catalan independence〔Catalan independentism〕 and for contentious and high-profile causes such as the campaign to ban bullfighting in Catalonia.〔http://www.prou.cat/english/〕 He used the opportunity provided by the 2011 concert tour to make pro-independence points, comparing the relationship between Spain and Catalonia with an unhappy marriage: the audiences responded with cries of support and much waving of the ''estelada'' flag, which symbolises Catalan independence.〔A report of his words during the first concert in Barcelona on September 9, 2011: http://cultura.e-noticies.cat/gerard-quintana-demana-la-llibertat-de-catalunya-57641.html〕
