Pulp's "Common People" Cover by Manel
>> Monday, 9 April 2012
Manel is the most successful Catalan band in recent years. Having released only two albums, they have become popular for lyrics telling everyday stories, a simple and effective instrumentation, and the personality of each of the four components. It's nothing new, yet they're fresh, witty and funny. No wonder they chose "Common People" by Pulp to cover live in concert. "La gent normal" has been named the best Catalan version of an international song by the readers of Ara, a Catalan newspaper. I hope you enjoy it.

What an interesting band. Happy Easter Monday to you.
I'm not able to hear videos on my laptop maybe I'll come back later and listen
Josep, I really enjoyed Manel...so much so that I will look for more of them on you tube. I don't know what I was expecting...something loud and raucous, I think..but, this is something, even an elder like me, can sit, sip a nice Rioja, and enjoy.
