Catalan multitalented artist and songwriter, Pau Riba i Romeva was born in August 7th 1948 in Palma de Mallorca. Descended from a bourgeois family, grandson of the poet and humanist [a1772597] and the poetess [a4005366] by father side, and also grandson of the founder member of [i]Unió Democràtica de Catalunya[/i] Pau Romeva by mother side, he raised in a worship, puritan, christian and catalanist atmosphere; however, he has become an alternative cultural landmark: unclassifiable, iconoclastic, transgressive, heterodox... Begun in the late 60's and framed within the [i]Contracultura[/i] (Counterculture) movement, his work has had a relative critical recognition and a limited impact on the massive public; despite his unique and untransferable artistical stamp. He was married with [a3310148], with whom had their sons [a6205080] and [a580448]. He's also father of [a6205165]..
