They are considered to be one of the leading representatives of the rock català movement, though the band prefer not to be placed in the same category as other Catalan-language groups, some of whom had very different musical styles, simply on the basis of singing in Catalan.

Sopa de Cabra's classic songs include L'Empordà, Camins ("Paths") and El Far del Sud ("The Southern Lighthouse").

Upon returning to Girona, Thió set about forming a new band, which would become Sopa de Cabra, recruiting bassist Francesc 'Cuco' Lisícic, guitarist Joan 'Ninyín' Cardona and drummer Josep 'Pep' Bosch.

The guitarist Jaume Soler (‘Peck’) joined the group in 1997, because Joan Cardona's deteriorating state of health began to make it difficult for him to perform regularly.

It includes many classic tracks and two interesting cover versions, respectively Led Zeppelin’s Rock’n’Roll (sung in English), and Bob Marley’s War, in a Catalan translation written by Quintana.

The live album La nit des anys, 1997 (‘The night of the year’) moved away somewhat from the group's rock’n’roll roots, with the inclusion of additional singers and a wider range of instrumentation than the classic guitars, bass, drums and keyboards (strings, saxophone, harmonica, etc.).

A tour culminated in three final concerts at the Razzmatazz club in Barcelona, in November 2001; a CD and DVD of this live performance came out in 2002, under the title of Bona nit, malparits!

On March 2, 2011 Quintana, Thió, Lisicic, Bosch and Soler announced at a press conference that they would reunite for a single concert on September 9 at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona.

[12] The members of Sopa de Cabra in 2011 are the same as in 2001, including Eduard Font on keyboards, with the addition of one musician who belongs to a younger generation of Catalan music: Xarim Aresté, singer, guitarist and songwriter with the group Very Pomelo.

On 28 March 2015, the group played a surprise concert on the roof of Girona's tourist office, after dropping hints that something would occur during the preceding weeks.

This album was not another interpretation of the band's existing repertoire, but a selection of completely new songs by the well-established songwriting team, music by Josep Thió and lyrics by Gerard Quintana.
