Biography

Luar Na Lubre was created in 1986 in A Coruña with the vocation of developing and spread Galician music and culture. With a repertoire basically based on music from Galician origins, Luar Na Lubre is the most international band in Galicia having toured from Palestine to Canada, from Germany to Argentine. In 1996, Mike Oldfield included on his Voyager album a cover of their song O son do ar (The sound of the air) which was the title of the first album by the band from Coruña, released in 1988. Luar Na Lubre's music is suggestive, diverse allowing to dance and dream. The songs are full of life, soulful, well designed and intended to be permanent, with a long collective reach that flies above borders. "We perform traditional music, old songs, always from our own perspective", states Bieito Romero. "We work on root music contributing our colour, the same as with our own compositions, always inspired by Galician music". And when the term "fusion" appears, Bieito makes this very clear: "we are a permeable country, helped by back-and-forth emigration, Camino de Santiago... Character comes from the way to understand music, sounds... We must be very careful with fusions and we must know styles properly. Fusion is not confusion". But Luar Na Lubre's music has no fusions nor confusions, no fashions nor fluctuations. It is an example of loyalty to a way of doing, of discovering links between root and contemporary, of determination in hard times that always bears fruit
