Os d’Abaixo is a contemporary Galician folk music band that has been enchanting audiences with their unique blend of traditional melodies and modern influences. Hailing from Galicia, a region in northwestern Spain with a rich cultural heritage and distinct Celtic connections, Os d’Abaixo skillfully combines the sounds of local instruments like the gaita (Galician bagpipes), fiddle, and pandeireta (tambourine) with broader elements of folk music. Their music is characterized by lively rhythms, intricate melodies, and a deep respect for their cultural roots.
Notable for their vibrant live performances, Os d'Abaixo gained additional recognition with the release of their electrifying live album "Ao Vivo en Lorient," showcasing the band's dynamic stage presence and connection with the audience. With tracks like "Somos A Pedra" and "Carvalheirinha Escura," they craft a narrative that is both reflective of Galician tradition and appealing to a modern folk audience. "Muiñeira do Verdellinho" and "Quixera Ser Dos Paxaros" further exhibit the band's ability to tap into the traditional dance and lyrical styles of their homeland while infusing them with a contemporary zest. Os d’Abaixo continues to stand as a beacon of Galician music, bridging the gap between the old and the new and solidifying their place in the global world music scene.
