La Pegatina are like a modern day vaudeville act. They bubble with the kind of slapstick, off-the-cuff spontaneity that you might come across in a 1930’s American burlesque saloon. They festoon the stage with a childly presence, taking free rein and playing a rambunctious, turbo-charged sort of Latino-ska shambles. Nattering in multiple languages, the rampaging Catalan seven-piece make it very hard not to join in the shemozzle of horns and maracas and gypsy jives.
The accordion is a criminally undervalued instrument, one that gets given the nurturing it deserves by La Pegatina. Romain Renard was obviously born to play it, heaving over the top of the gambolling tempos provided by Ovidi Díaz "Movidito" (flamenco guitar and percussion) and Sergi López (drums), while Adrià Salas shows off from front stage. There are plenty of cowbells, stupid dancing, and glitter. They seem to be made for the summer festival. This year they played a whole string including the Solar Weekend Festival in the Netherlands, Weekend Beach Festival in Malaga and even touring the XTD World Music Festival In China, stirring up a tropical storm in Shanghai, Beijing and Wuhan.
