Hirundo Maris

Hirundo Maris is a captivating ensemble that blends ancient Mediterranean and Nordic musical traditions into a fresh, story-driven sound. Founded by Catalan harpist Arianna Savall (daughter of early music legends Jordi Savall and Montserrat Figueras) and Norwegian vocalist Petter Udland Johansen, the group acts as musical time travelers. Their work revives medieval ballads like *Draumkvedet*, reimagines Catalan liturgical chants like *El cant de la Sibil.la*, and breathes new life into traditional carols and seafaring tunes, often weaving in multiple languages and historical instruments.

True to their name (which means "sea swallow" in Latin), Hirundo Maris creates music that migrates effortlessly across cultures and eras. Recent releases like *The Wind Rose* and *Vox Cosmica* showcase their signature mix of haunting vocals, harp, fiddles, and percussion, while projects like *Wayfaring Stranger* highlight their knack for making centuries-old wanderlust anthems feel surprisingly modern. Whether exploring mystical visions or nautical myths, this group turns history into a living conversation between past and present.
