The Grup Vallparadís was founded in 1986, but the training in traditional and folk music of its members comes from the Group Cap Roig of Terrassa – Calella de Palafrugell. They were members of this group in 1974 and they can be considered its heirs, not only in the sensitivity of interpretation but also in the concept of repertoire. This is why we can consider the Grup Vallparadís a new foundation of the old group rather than a new musical group.

In the wide-ranging and varied repertoire of the Grup Vallparadís different types of song forms are present. On the one hand, the old habanera, interpreted with a more traditional flavour, on the other, the modern habanera, which is fresh and participative. Let us not forget the popular and joyful valsets, the sardana, the tavern songs, as well as the sea songs in general.

They have performed throughout Catalunya, Andorra, Mallorca and towns in other parts of Spain such as Portugalete, Baracaldo and Getxo (Bizcaya), Villarrobledo (Albacete) , Aguilas (Murcia) and Denia (Alicante); as well as in Perpignan and the village of Banyuls in Nothern Catalunya . In June 2007 they performed in Luxemburg.

As members of the Group Coordinating Commitee “100 Years of Habaneras in Catalunya “ and solidary collaborators of the Casals Catalans (non-profit organizations that promote the diffusion of the culture of the Catalan Countries abroad) in Cuba; in April 2001 and in August 2007, Grup Vallparadís went on a tour and performed in cities such as Habana, Guanabacoa, Matanzas and Cienfuegos.

Among their performances in Catalunya, their participation in the Festival of Calella de Palafrugell in 1987 and 1998 as well as the Festival of Palamós in 1987 and 1988 stand out because of their importance and popularity. Also worth mentioning would be the task of organization and sponsoring of the homage to maestro J.L. Ortega Monasterio, celebrated in Terrassa on the 30th of September 2001, with the cooperation of the Centre de Promoció de la Cultura Popular i Tradicional Catalana de la Generalitat de Catalunya (Center for the Promotion of Folk and Traditional Catalan Culture) and the Obra Social de Caixa de Terrassa.

The members of the group are: Xavier Delgado (tenor and guitarist), and Agustí Alonso (bass and accordion)

The three members of the group sing, with his author, several maestro J.L. Ortega Monasterio's songs, at the first encounter of the Habanera in Ripollet (20-05-2000)
