Tanxedoras is an evocative folk ensemble that delves deep into the rich tapestry of Galician music, honoring traditional sounds while also bringing them into the contemporary sphere with grace and authenticity. Named after the word for 'weavers' in their native Galician language, the group is known for their intricate musical arrangements that beautifully interlace the threads of Galicia's cultural heritage with modern sensibilities. Their work not only serves as a tribute to the past but also seeks to keep the region's unique musical traditions alive and relevant for new generations.
The band's dedication to celebrating Galician musical traditions is particularly evident in their release "1952. Homenaxe a Alan Lomax", an album paying tribute to the legendary ethnomusicologist who famously recorded and preserved a vast array of traditional music from around the world, including Galicia, in the early-to-mid 20th century. With releases like "Á sombra da oliveira" and their eponymous album "Tanxedoras", the group showcases their ability to balance respect for tradition with innovative musical exploration. The seamless blend of vibrant melodies, haunting vocals, and the rustic timbres of folk instruments resonate with both purists and newcomers to the genre, earning Tanxedoras respect and admiration within the folk music community.
