Luar Na Lubre

Luar Na Lubre is a folk band from Galicia, a region in the northwest of Spain, known for blending traditional Galician music with contemporary sounds. Formed in 1986 in A Coruña, the group has become one of the most respected acts in the world music scene, celebrated for their use of traditional instruments like the gaita (Galician bagpipe), harp, and tambourine. Their name, which means "moonlight in the sacred forest" in Galician, reflects their deep ties to Celtic and Galician mysticism.

Over the years, Luar Na Lubre has released numerous albums that showcase the rich cultural heritage of Galicia, often drawing on medieval pilgrim routes and historic themes—as seen in titles like Vieiras e Vieiros. Historias de peregrinos and Ribeira Sacra. They’ve also collaborated with renowned artists like Pablo Milanés and brought Galician music to international audiences, supported in part by their association with artists such as Mike Oldfield. With a career spanning decades, the band continues to evolve while staying rooted in the traditions of their homeland.
