Inca vibrates with the return of Ossifar

PalmOssifar's return to Inca this Saturday brought together some 4,500 people at the General Luque headquarters. The performance, 27 years after the group's disbandment—and the only one announced so far by the band—was marked by emotion. The concert, titled Remember, has started with the song Give him onions, which has animated the audience, fully engaged.

Among the repertoire of songs that have been played, there have been no shortage of the band's emblematic ones, such as Tofol Colom, Holidays in Mallorca and Indiana Pons in search of roasted porcella, A rap is a fish either You sing well or you sing badly., songs characterized by the group's humorous tone. For two and a half hours, Lázaro Méndez and Luis Arboledas reviewed more than 30 songs from their discography. The performance was also characterized by the group's signature aesthetic, with giant toilets on stage.

The audience – which made no distinction between young and old – enjoyed a show in which the group's leaders, Méndez and Arboledas, demonstrated that they are still ready to make people dance and have a good time.

The artists were accompanied on stage by the band formed by musician Carlos Lambertini, the only guitarist of all the groups who has been present on all of Ossifar's albums; in addition to Pablo di Salvo on bass, Jaume Ginard on drums, Faust Morell on guitar and, for the first time, wind arrangements made by Sergio Llopis, who was also on keyboards, with Leonardo Martínez on sax, Jaume Blázquez on trumpet and Sergi Tous on trombone. Toni Isern and Tolo Bergas, who had been part of Ossifar's first demo, also went up on stage to sing in Woman with a murderous breath and Pasodoble of love, respectively, according to the event organizers.

There were also emotional moments when the late Biel Mesquida, Miquel Pieras, Alberto Ruiz, and Just Serrano were remembered with special affection.

It is worth remembering that the Mallorcan group said goodbye at the end of the 90s after the release of their last album,To pee and lie down,and with only eight years on stage. The band was born in 1989 and was described from the start as a totally irreverent group. It was the brainchild of three friends: Lázaro Méndez, Biel Mesquida, and Luis Arboledas. They would play together in their free time and, laughing, would say that the songs they composed sounded as bad as Osifar, the Mallorcan company dedicated to cleaning septic tanks. So they decided to form a group with that name. They added an S in reference to the "castellorquín," which would become their distinctive feature.
