They ask to be called Dusminguet, coming from La Garriga (near Barcelona) but having their grounds in music they harvest from here and there to transform into a thousand colours and shapes in Catalan, Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and Arabic. Their own world, the way they see things. The group was born in 1995 and, as a grinder of folk tunes, they began playing Tex-Mex, rumba, merengue, waltz music coming out of dance and festival. 

     Their debut was with Vafalungo (1998, Virgin-Chewaka), defined by them as a voyage around the world, a passport that entitles you to cross any border without having any papers to show‚. Going backwards and forwards between reggae, cumbia, cha-cha-cha, and even sardana, supposedly the most boring folk dance on earth. The grinder of all danceable tunes, celebration without clear end, accordion, guitar, bass, djembe, drums, cajón, keyboard, night that only finishes when the sun rises. 400 concerts were reported during Vafalungo’s Tour (El disco que da la vuelta al mundo) around Spain, France, Italy where they were forging themselves as a group that makes its best performances live. Self-defining their music as World Pagès Music, like a peasant that likes to travel and see things and bring some back home, roots music springing from the so called popular and fake patxanga, a lively melting pot of joy, a musical trip. 

     Postrof (Virgin-Chewaka), the second album, was issued in 2000 and recorded in Chefchaouen (north Morocco) with guest musicians Neat Veliov (Koçani Orkestra), Mustafa El Haffer, Nando Lumbalú (proyecto Lumbalú), Martín Fuks (Macaco). This musical trip takes place in the imaginary town of Postrof. All is possible in that place where during the day you are allowed to do things different from those allowed at night, and where north and south get confused by Dusminguet's music. Through Arabic music, eastern gypsy trumpets, Mediterranean havaneres. This second album keeps on vindicating both a peculiar and particular way of making music. They are risky searchers of folk and celebration tunes along with the most naïf surrealism. The Postrof Tour visited Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Holland and finally Mexico, where the bassist Carlos Rivolta suffered an accident on stage at Guadalajara and died. From then onwards Dusminguet cancelled all live performances and concentrated on the new recording: Go. This third part of a planned trilogy, along with its predecessors Vafalungo and Postrof, is expected to be launched at the end of 2002. The album is being recorded at home in La Garriga and adds to the previous influences those of Greek rhythms, rock and roll, gypsy guitars, and samples from east European tunes. This is Dusminguet's new adventure, a journey inside out, new, smart, and varied melodies intended to be enough luggage to travel to unexpected lands and to explore far away continents. Dusminguet belong to their own world, and ours, it seems, is upside down. They have been involved in soundtracks for films such as Puta de Oros (Miquel Crespi), 1999. Shortlisted, Oscar Awards 2001], Marujas Asesinas (Javier Rebollo), Tú qué harías por amor (Saura Medrano), Nos hacemos falta. Tilt (Juanjo Giménez Peña). Also they have worked on mixes with Mad Professor, Toti Arimany, Adarve, Dstivie & Katai. And they have participated in compilations such as Zona Bastarda [Barcelona Sona, 2002], Radical Mestizo, Calaveras y diablitos, Cáñamo, Peret, rey de la rumba...
