Skacha is an influential Galician Celtic punk band that has been stirring the music scene with their powerful blend of traditional Galician folk music and raw punk energy. Emerging in the late 1990s, the band has managed to carve out a distinct identity by incorporating the use of traditional Galician instruments such as gaitas (bagpipes), tambourines, and fiddles into their sound, thereby creating a unique repertoire that speaks to both regional cultural identity and a universal punk ethos.
With their recent releases "Catro," "A Ferro e Lume," "Skacha," "Xustiza Cega," and "Sempre Ceibes," Skacha has continued to consolidate their reputation as torchbearers of the Galician punk movement. These albums display their consistent commitment to themes surrounding social justice, cultural pride, and political awareness, all the while bolstering their musical approach with vitality and a commitment to the DIY ethos that underpins punk culture. Through their music, Skacha has not only become a staple in the Galician punk scene, but has also resonated with diverse audiences, contributing to the rich tapestry of global punk music.
