About this sound

✦ AI

Josep-Lluís Carod-Rovira introducing himself in Spanish on TVE's Tengo una pregunta para usted, now shared widely as a Catalan politics meme sound.

This clip captures Catalan politician Josep-Lluís Carod-Rovira calmly introducing himself in Spanish with the line Yo me llamo Josep-Lluís during a televised question session. The delivery is polite and measured, but the contrast between his Catalan name and the Spanish phrasing gives the moment a dry, memorable tension. Listeners familiar with Catalan politics hear it as a pointed assertion of identity rather than a simple introduction. That understated firmness is why the short exchange stuck, turning a formal broadcast answer into a recognisable reaction for debates about language, names and regional identity.

Josep-Lluís Carod-Rovira led Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya and became one of the most recognisable voices in Catalan politics during his time in the Catalan government. The clip comes from his appearance on the TVE programme Tengo una pregunta para usted, a format built around members of the public questioning senior politicians directly. His short self-introduction was clipped and shared online in Catalonia and Spain, where it survives less as news footage than as an in-joke about pronunciation, language choice and insisting on being addressed by your proper name.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it right after someone gets a Catalan name wrong or is asked to repeat it, letting the calm self-introduction land without music underneath. Keep the TV ambience intact, trim only the dead air before the line, and avoid looping it.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Replying when someone mispronounces a Catalan name online
  • Punctuating debates about language and identity in Catalonia
  • Reacting to a formal introduction that feels pointed
  • Adding a dry political callback to Catalan edits
