Lo Pau de Ponts warns: his love story seems like "an example of Catalanism and Pujolism," but it's 100% real. He met his last partner last year at a sardana gathering in Collbató, at the foot of Montserrat. The sardana was playing. Maria of the braids with music by Josep Saderra i Puigferrer and lyrics by Ramon Ribera i Llobet, premiered for the first time during the San Martiriano Festival in 1949. "We had to dance side by side and I said to her: 'Watch out, my hands sweat a lot.' She looked at me and replied: 'suadores, it means you're hot.'" Pau de Ponts was so captivated by that answer that he thought: "This is the right one."

The son of a family of farmers and merchants, Lo Pau de Ponts has made his charisma and roots in Terres de Ponent his career. In addition to performing song parodies, he takes his musical comedy show to major festivals across the country. Pau Pinós (1993) began working at age 16 as DJ Pepinos, playing music at the San Juan festival at the swimming pools in Ponts (Noguera), his hometown.
