Dan Peralbo i El Comboi is a Catalan pop rock band from Torelló (Osona), Catalonia. They rose to prominence after winning the Sona9 contest in 2021.[1][2][3]

Dan Peralbo is also the author of "Vermell i negre", the official anthem of the Club de Futbol Torelló.[3]

History

Beginnings

After spending some time in London playing in pubs and busking, Dan Peralbo moved to Barcelona and recorded his first EP as a singer-songwriter, Cosquis My (The Yellow Gate, 2020), at home.[4] To perform the songs live, Pol Villegas, Aleix "Jimmy" Vilarrasa and Albert "Ret" Rams – former members of bands such as Flipats, Wood, Falciots Ninja and MiNE! – joined him. Under the name El Comboi, they became a solid band accompanying Dan and consolidating the project.[5]

Breakthrough

In 2021 the band won the Sona9, which launched them into the Catalan music scene.[4] With new EPs such as Immaculada concepció (2021) and Miris com t’ho miris (2022), the band consolidated itself within the emerging scene.[6]

Signing with Montgrí and debut album

In 2024 the group signed with the Montgrí label and released their first album, Dan Peralbo i El Comboi. The record included eleven songs, two of which had appeared on previous works, and was produced by Aleix Turon and Joan Delgado of Cala Vento.[7][5] A notable anecdote was that the drums had to be recorded with one hand due to the drummer's injury.[8]

Musical style and influences

The band describes its sound as a fusion between guitar-based rock and pop melodies, with a clear emphasis on the drums and lyrics that mix personal experiences with a playful tone. Critics have highlighted their energy and ability to connect with audiences.[5][8]
