C.E.D. (http://www.ladharma.com/) was started by the Fortuny brothers in 1974. Nowadays it one of the most legendary rock bands in Catalonia. The founders, Esteve, Joan and Josep, successfully introduced into the Iberian rock scene the melodies and sounds born from the Mediterranean and Catalan folklore, including, in their own special way a soprano sax which calls to mind the Catalan “tenora”, to the typical rock instruments.

After more 30 years in the profession, this unique, eclectic band has maintained the same spirit that characterises its origins.

Dharma’s music reaps from Catalan tradition stepping forward to modernity, keeping their original spirit untouched. Placing autochthonous Catalan instruments in a new concept.

The band ingeniously contrast Mediterranean ethnic roots with universalism and jazz/rock. A fusion of very diverse musical influences, that creates a very eclectic and unique universe.

Their music, a symbol of an assertion of their own cultural identity along with certain universal values, carries its message beyond the borders of Catalonia.

Although, diverging from the traditional folk music approach, the spirit of the original ethnic music is greatly valued and respectfully preserved.

Their shows have an unmistakable Mediterranean flavour with moments of ingenuous and exciting primitivism, an enlivening impulse that gets the audience jumping and dancing, and then is when the show becomes a fiesta.

… Dharma, above all, is really a stage band.
