Mallorcan band formed in 1997 by the brothers Javier and Nacho Vega. They alternate ska, punk and reggae, always with a base of rock. Now The Gran Orchestra Republican reaches Cala Millor with its Gira pequeña 2013 (small tour), a concert in which they will do a review of their discography and recover some of the songs that are on their albums but which they usually not play live. They will also present themes part of their next album Capitalismo KO.
On this tour the band performs in reduced format (drums, bass, guitar, vocals and trombone) but no less festive and danceable because of it. La Gran Orquesta Republicana plays with miscegenation and mark ska rhythms without copying Mano Negra nor Doctor Calypso, nor do their rock riffs want to sound like Extremoduro. What they do is merge the best of each style and offer their fresh and casual version. Their music encourages dancing and their lyrics political reflection.
