The magazine Enderrock confirmed the death of Escribà, a figure whose name is forever linked to the history of popular music in Catalonia and, especially, to the circuit of local major festivals (festes majors).

Born in Bell-lloc d’Urgell, Escribà was the soul of La Salseta del Poble Sec, a group he founded in the mid-seventies alongside Pep Vercher. The band was established in 1977 to perform at a PSUC rally, and its immediate success led them to tour squares and stages across the entire territory.

Prior to La Salseta, the musician had been part of Som… Indígenes, a cover band created in 1964. With his main band, he recorded over a dozen albums, consolidating a unique style. His influence extended beyond the stage when he created his own label, Salseta Discos.

This record label was crucial in the early days of Catalan rock, publishing the first works of relevant bands such as Sopa de Cabra and Umpah-pah. In 2023, Escribà still conceived the show Sol d’hivern: Els músics que van acolorir les places (Winter Sun: The Musicians Who Colored the Squares), which inaugurated that year's edition of the BarnaSants festival.
