El Pony Pisador are a lively and unique band from Barcelona, known for an eclectic blend of musical styles and humorous, adventurous spirit. Their mix of folk sounds from all over the world results in a fun and energetic sound that’s unpredictable and full of personality and humour. From their native Catalan songs and dances to Celtic and Mediterranean tunes, yodeling, Tuvan throat singing, to even Georgian polyphony or Balkan polyrhythms. El Pony Pisador are well-regarded for their ability to engage audiences with their high-energy performances, witty lyrics, and a mix of both traditional and modern influences.
Their live shows have been shaped by the experience of playing at festes majors (Catalan patronal festivities), which are not just a concert, but a cultural celebration where the whole town participates. This gives their concerts a festive and inclusive atmosphere, making them a great fit for festivals and international events for all ages.
As they bring the spirit of their cultural heritage abroad, El Pony Pisador offers spontaneity and makes the crowd participation a central part of the show, making the audience feel more than just spectators.
‘Our sense of humour is contagious: our live shows are varied and unpredictable, because between laughs and jokes, something unexpected happens in every concert.’
2023 saw El Pony Pisador and English Shanty & Folk band The Longest Johns, collaborate on their EP The Longest Pony, featuring tracks in both English and Catalan, celebrating English and Latin maritime traditions. February 2025 will see the two bands’ head out together on tour across England
