Hipi (keyboard), Joaquim Canals (drums), Àlex Pujols (bass guitar), Pau Puig (percussion), Ivan López (saxophone) and Jordi Barnola (trumpet).

It started in the Gothic Quarter, Barcelona,[2] in the student flat of the singer Alguer Miquel, the guitarist Marcel Lázara a.k.a.

Near Plaça George Orwell, also known colloquially as Tripi square, they started giving impromptu concerts on the streets with musicians from all around the world.

Marcel "Tito", started playing a charango, a small stringed instrument from the central region of the Andes, with Alguer and Sergi "Hipi".

All three of them agreed to capture that festive spirit of the street music and to take it to the stages as a new project named after Marcel's instrument: Txarangö, with a diaeresis over the "o".

In 2010 after closing their phase with the group Vall Folk, Alguer, Tito and Hipi decided to work on their new music project.

In the free and nomad spirit of the circus, they found their inspiration to start talking about Clownia: a magic place where every street artist they grew up with in Tripi square would play.

"Vola" and "Nits amb Txarango" have 100,000 reproductions on their official page, 100,000 more in YouTube, and 25,000 in MySpace, and they have had two lipdubs made by groups of young people of Anglés and Igualada.

This first year of life of Txarango peaked on 31 October 2011 with a concert in Castanyada Rock in Piera, where they shared stage with Bongo Botrako, Brams, and Stombers.

January 2012, Txarango signed up with Éxists Produccions & Management agency and they came back to the studio of Can Pardaler in Taradell in order to release their first album.

After finishing the recording, Miquel Rojo left Txarango because of an incompatibility with other musical plans and he was replaced by Jordi Barnola.

On February 16, the day Carnival started, Benvinguts al llarg viatge was published in their official page for free.

[11] In June, the band was chosen, among more than a hundred Catalan submitted proposals, to participate in the State Circuit of Concert Halls, Artistas en Ruta, during that very same autumn.

For this album, the group included three new members: percussionist Joan Palà, guitarist Pau Castellví and Sisco Romero as backing vocalist.
