MERCEDES PEÓN

MERCEDES PEÓN is the clearest exponent in the new musical resurgence of the national scene. Her roots take new forms: tradition with ancestral flavour that regains life with traditional bagpipes and percussion and is mixed with the most current electronic sounds. Her incisive and modern interpretation of tradition is based on years of study and compilation from town to town. The tone of her voice, the variety of her compositions that culminate in eclectic and shamelessly vibrant themes, her wide repertoire and the bewitching and energy that take possession of each one of her performances makes this woman a sur bet for the continuity of Galician music.
