Released just a couple of years after his revered \"\u003cb\u003eDioptria\u003c\/b\u003e\", this remarkable work is regarded as one of the earliest D.I.Y. albums in the history of Spanish pop music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAt the time, Riba was only 23 years old.

The album was conceived during this period of \"hippie\" living. As they became part of a growing community of young people drawn to the island by a new, nature-centered way of life-completely different from that of the tourists who also visited Formentera-they also discovered LSD. Playing and singing under the influence of acid opened the door to an entirely new creative universe.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhen Riba returned to Barcelona, the ideas he had originally developed for the follow-up to \"\u003cb\u003eDioptria\u003c\/b\u003e\" before moving to Formentera were completely abandoned, and the project evolved into something altogether different. The album was recorded in Formentera using two battery-powered film sound recorders-a Revox and a Nagra- in order to capture every nuance of the island's idyllic surroundings.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe result was \"\u003cb\u003eJo, la donya i el gripau\u003c\/b\u003e\", an extraordinary psychedelic folk album that not only celebrated Riba's life with his partner Mercè-the donya-and the birth of their son Pauet-the gripau-but can also be understood as the concluding chapter of a trilogy whose first two installments were the two volumes of \"\u003cb\u003eDioptria\u003c\/b\u003e\".\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAn essential album.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes an insert with liner notes and photos.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklisting\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide A\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.
