Catalan rumba band La Pegatina is back from a successful musical tour in China, where they played at the Hangzhou Festival for 15,000 people and at several smaller venues. The band originally hails from Montcada i Reixac (Barcelona) and after 7 years they have already played in 13 countries and had millions of downloads of their records, which can be obtained for free as digital files in their website at http://www.lapegatina.com/en/multimedia/downloads, together with other material such as lyrics and chords, clips, wallpapers and even an iPhone/Android app.

La Pegatina was invited to play in China by the organizers by the Hangzhou Festival, which encouraged the band to find other gigs in cities like Beijing and Shanghai. A chronicle of the concert in Beijing can be read at the Beijing Daze blog, under the title of "Catalonia and Mongolia collide when La Pegatina meets Hanggai for a fun show". They are the third Spanish band to play in China, after Berri Txarrak and Fito.

According to one of the members of the band, Rubén Sierra, "Chinese audiences are very interested by everything that comes from the West, due to the recent opening of the society to foreign influences". He also pointed out that they have received a proposal to perform again in China, at the 2012 Midi Festival.
