Donación Agnelli

Donación Agnelli was a band from Barcelona formed in 1983 by Cristina Bagan and Pepe Barrancos (both vocals), José M. Mauriz (guitar), X. Vidi (guitar), Tito Villalonga (bass) and Alberto Carreras (drums). With only half a dozen tracks, but with a compact and forceful sound, in September 1983 they recorded a EP with two tracks they share with Primera Linea, also on the Gira Discos label. The songs were "Asfixia" and "Azul" and were recorded at Sono Centro Studios in Barcelona.

That year of 1983 also means the beginning of their live performances, among them the anniversary party of the program "A Fluor" of Radio Obrera. They played in the mythical Zeleste of Barcelona, ​​another of the most underground and modern centers of the city. At the end of that year they participated in the festival Va de Lona Viva!! in the Pavilion of La Plana of Badalona with Claustrophobia, New Buildings and the local group Kremlin. In July 1985 they recorded a four songs demo entitled "Ritmos Inéditos", including "La Harpía", "Lo Antiguo", "Ritmos Inéditos" and "Convaleciendo". 

In 1986 they participated in the First Festival of Young Artists, held in the city of Tebessa (Algeria) with their music and painting show and as the only Spanish representatives. Shortly afterwards in the same year they played in Beziers (France) at the festival Reencontrées Rock-86. After some more performances in different parts of Barcelona, ​​they played in the famous 666 of Pueblo Nuevo, center of all the new wave of the city, a three storey room that had been part of the underground history of those days. That same year they appeared in the compilation of the independent label Grabaciones Góticas '6 Nuevas Bandas Catalanas' with the songs "Ritmos Inéditos" and "Convaleciendo", and along with emergent bands from the Catalan panorama like Avant-Dernieres Pensées, New Buildings, Sangre Cristiana, Los Humillados and Ai Las Tibet.
