The performance by the pop-funk and spectacle band took place in an absolutely packed community center in Vilaplana, with an audience devoted to the tribal party that defined the group, known for dressing up as prehistoric people, a detail that further enhanced the concert's lively nature.
El hombre de Pekín was formed in the early eighties in a Barcelona fertile for musical experimentation. Their key was the combination of music and spectacle with a prehistoric imaginary, featuring songs like "Usa sílex, afeita mejor" or "Amor de piedra".
The original lineup of El hombre de Pekín, which most likely performed in Vilaplana, consisted of José Díaz de Quijano, Pepe Sarto, Joan García 'Panotxa', and Boris Porter.
The group documented their work with the maxi single 'Usa sílex / Vidi va de caza', recorded in 1985 and released in 1986 by the label Gira-Vis. Their only album, 'Pekín, New York, Barcelona', came out in 1987, reflecting the formation's irreverent and experimental spirit before dissolving in the early nineties.
