Fillas de Cassandra

Fillas de Cassandra is an emerging musical ensemble with a fresh and invigorating approach to music, positioned at the confluence of tradition and avant-garde. With a name that pays homage to the figure of Cassandra from Greek mythology, they evoke a rich narrative element in their work, embracing both historical depth and a contemporary edge. The members of the group are known for their embrace of theatrical elements and their dedication to reviving and reinterpreting traditional Galician folklore, alongside the exploration of wider Mediterranean and ancient musical motifs.

Their oeuvre is characterized by a dynamic and powerful use of language, melody, and rhythm, as evidenced in recent releases such as "canta miña sombra (negra sombra)," where they delve into the somber tones and depths of shadow. Songs like "Tola" and "Tataravoa" further illustrate their ability to blend the mystique of folklore with a modern sensibility, while "PUNHETA!" and "ACRÓPOLE" showcase their fearless penchant for experimentation. "V. AS MOIRAS," "II. LISÍSTRATA (Varre Vasoira)," and "I. ANTÍGONA" constitute part of a series that seemingly pays homage to powerful female figures and narratives from antiquity, thereby underlining their conceptual artistry and the feminist undercurrent of their work. Fillas de Cassandra's music is a beacon for those seeking a deep, cerebral connection with music that is as layered and complex as the ancient stories they draw inspiration from.
