Aliboria

Aliboria is a contemporary Galician folk music ensemble known for their deeply evocative performances which draw from the rich musical heritage of Galicia, an autonomous region in northwest Spain with a distinct Celtic cultural influence. The group is fronted by the skilled accordionist Xosé Lois Romero, who is not only an ambassador for Galician music but also an innovative force in the tradition-bound genre. Aliboria has made significant strides in the folk music scene with their ability to blend the old with the new, infusing their compositions with both the soul of the past and the vibrancy of modern soundscapes.

Among their recent works, the single "La leyenda del tiempo" evokes timeless narratives through its haunting melodies, while “Estrela Guía” offers a celestial guiding light with its intricate harmonies. "Latexo," translating to heartbeat in Galician, reverberates with the rhythmical pulses of life, showcasing the group’s deft interplay of traditional rhythms and contemporary motifs. "O acougo do colo" presents a soothing, tender soundscape, reminiscent of a lullaby’s embrace. Their dedication to their roots is further exemplified in "Muiñeira de Ons," a track that vibrantly brings to life the traditional Galician muiñeira dance. The eponymous album "Xosé Lois Romero & Aliboria" captures the synergy between the leading maestro and his band, marking a significant entry into the world music scene. Through their fresh and emotive approach, Aliboria remains a beacon of Galician culture, inviting listeners to explore the depth and beauty of their regional musical landscape.
