When you hear the term summer hit, what comes to mind: Georgie Dann, The Refreshments, King Africa, Don Patricio? It depends on the generation you belong to. But what are the summer hits in Catalan?<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Globalisation and the popularity of Catalan brands, especially beer brands, mean that the songs they use reach more people, but we can consider that the birth of the summer hit in Catalan took place in 1990, when <\/span>TV3 commissioned the popular group La Trinca<\/b> to compose a song to be used in the channel’s <\/span>summer programme advert<\/a><\/span>, which would be used for three summers, covered by different performers.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1993, the <\/span>summer hit in Catalan <\/b>was <\/span>Munta-t’ho b\u00e9<\/span><\/a>, by Els Pets. It was from this year onwards that the groups or singers chosen to provide the soundtrack for the TV3 summer advert opted to adapt their own songs, instead of composing one exclusively for television. In many cases, this has given them a popularity they did not have before. In recent years,<\/span> radio stations have also signed up<\/b> and commissioned versions for the summer campaign. A new channel of visibility for songs in Catalan.<\/span><\/p>\n
