"Hui fa dia de fallses, hui fa dia d'arrar un bon nano tot el dia, fa dia de bar" is a phrase that could be used at any time of the year. And it could be said by anyone who wakes up in the morning in good spirits, with the sun shining from above and wanting to spend unforgettable moments with his friends. But its author has a virally famous voice, a very well-known name, surname and nickname, he is from Beniarbeig and a Fallero in Dénia.
He is Jose Miralles Di-croce, known as Nay, and with six seconds of audio he managed to express what the entire Valencian society experiences on a day with a desire for 'comboi', partying and joy. But above all, he captured what we longed for in days when the pandemic was still very present.
Jose very casually sent that voice message to a group of friends from Pedreguer. The crew was organizing a meal and he encouraged the people, quite a bit. "I remember we weren't at parties, it was a normal Saturday," but what it unleashed was something grander than just normal.
This was three years ago, when Covid restrictions were the order of the day, but the constant references to audio today do not stop coming. And even more so on these dates, when the Fallas begin another good Saturday and with all the festivities ahead to enjoy and "grab a good nano", or get rid of inhibitions, for those who do not understand the matter.
Already at that time, Jose's voice spread like wildfire through all the mobile phones of thousands of people. First the closest ones, then it reached the entire Valencian territory, as far as we know. Although it is not ruled out that he has traveled further. Friends, family, more WhatsApp groups, until reaching social networks, the famous memes and video montages. "You want to do this on purpose and it doesn't work out," he jokes.
Suddenly the King explained I don't know what about "fa dia de fallses" in one of his speeches, Stacy Malibu from The Simpsons said even stranger things or even the then mayor of Xàbia He reported on the latest agreements reached in the municipal plenary session with Nay's voice. T-shirts, sweatshirts and aprons have even been created in reference to this already iconic Valencian expression.
Although, "without a doubt, the best montage and the one I liked the most was that of Joan Baldoví, for being the person she is and for sharing it on her own wall." A good friend sent it to her and she was especially excited. The audio quickly went viral, but with good reason, it reflected a feeling shared by everyone.

And now, on March 16 and with the parties that are happening in every street, "for the Falla group they have been non-stop with the audio for about 10 days." Jose has belonged to Les Roques de Dénia for about five years. Falla to which he joined with his partner and where he can dedicate these intense days that are coming to doing, exactly, what that memorable moment expressed for the most intimate of him.
Bones Falles!
