Faltriqueira live at the Teatro Principal (Pontevedra), April 18, 2008

The band Faltriqueira personify the freshest of the scene emerging from the fountains of traditional music. Fusing poliphony with drumming and acoustic instruments.

Faltriqueira is an autonomous vocal project raised in Pontedeume (Galicia), which escapes from the rigid tradition and brings new life to songs collected from diverse latitudes, not only from their homeland.

After many years of hard work on the melodic tradition of the pandereteiras (tambourine women players), these four young singers have put together a collection of traditional tunes in a modern style where voices mix with synthesizers and acoustic instruments such as fiddle, accordion, darboukas, txalapartas, cellos, and guitar.
