The members of Els Catarres are Èric Vergés and Jan Riera Prats from Aiguafreda and Roser Cruells from Centelles.

The band formed towards the end of 2010, starting with small gigs in bars and at la Fira d'Artesania d'Aiguafreda.

Due to the popularity of their song "Jenifer", about a prohibited love between a patriotic Catalan man and a "xoni" from Castefa, they rose to fame in 2011.

The word xoni is a slang term that in this context refers to young people in Spain, and therefore in Catalunya too, who are less culturally educated.

The first unedited song to be released was "Me'n vaig al camp", a parody of a "modernet" from Barcelona that decides to go and live in the countryside.
