Quempallou is a vibrant Galician folk band that has been an active ambassador of Galician traditional music since the late 1990s. Known for their dynamic interpretation of folk tunes, Quempallou's music infuses new energy into the ancestral music of Galicia, a region in northwest Spain with a rich Celtic heritage. Their name, inspired by a traditional Galician expression that is a call to dance, reflects their commitment to keeping their cultural traditions alive and inviting audiences to join them in celebration.

Their discography illustrates a journey through the heart of Galician music, with each album encapsulating both the traditional and the contemporary. From their self-titled debut "Quempallou" to the recent releases of "Quarteirón 2" and "Quarteirón 1," the band showcases their prowess in blending the old with the new. The album "Vellas Novas" is remembered for offering fresh takes on old classics, while "Once Anos Mallando" celebrated their eleventh anniversary with a compilation that captured the essence of their first decade of music-making. Their work not only preserves the folkloric sounds of their home region but also brings them to the forefront of the world stage, allowing a new generation to appreciate the melodies and rhythms that have been passed down through generations.
