The councilor of Festejos has detailed that "Cap Pela is a vocal group from Mallorca that develops its repertoire sung entirely in chapel, that is, without any other instrument than the voice. They began their career in 1994 with a varied repertoire, characterized by a balanced combination of international successes of many different styles: from R&B in Pop, through Jazz, Soul, author song ... to traditional songs and own compositions ".
Ponce has pointed out that "precisely, one of the keys to his success all this time is to have known how to select this repertoire based on his own personal tastes, but, above all, depending on what best suits his vocal characteristics and his way of conceiving the live. "
In their more than 20 years of experience they have performed more than 400 concerts both in Mallorca and in the rest of Spain and part of Europe.
The members of the groups remember with special affection their first steps in the international festivals of Verona (1996) and Cantonigros (1997 and 1998);

having composed the soundtrack of the gala of the MAX theater awards of 2000, as well as being able to interpret the traditional 'Canto de la Sibila' in Paris (2010), just after being declared Intangible Heritage of Unesco, among others.
