GROUPA - New album released
Some photos from our release tour in Sweden (-:
Groupa releases their fourth album in the Kind of Folk series, a collaboration with Spanish and Portuguese musicians. This time around, their musical radar takes them to the Iberian Peninsula and its rich musical tradition, treating us to soft ballads, intense love songs, and irresistible dance tunes with a unique Groupa twist.
Multi-instrumentalist and singer Vanesa Muela has her roots in the music of the Castilla y León region, and she plays a variety of percussion instruments. Vanesa’s compelling vocals and solid percussion skills paired with Groupa’s improvisational technique produce beautiful Nordic-Iberian music.
Sofia Adriana Portugal belongs to the young generation of singers in Portugal who are interested in the traditional music of their country. With a background in the band Fadomorse, the vocal trio Maria Monda, as well as training in puppetry and theater, Sofia spellbinds audiences with her lyrical vocals and storytelling.
Sara and Maika Gomez make up the fascinating percussion duo Ttukunak Txalaparta, and play the traditional Basque txalaparta. Their intricate rhythms surprise and delight with sudden shifts and expansive dynamics.
