Local Music. 3rd November Folk

How can we not sing if we have a throat? How can we not make music if we can use our hands and feet? How can we not dance if our body asks us to? We sing and dance to the rain, to the fire, to the harvest, to births, to death, to love, to work…

The origin of music is uncertain, but as old as we are; we need music and it is present in the essence of our communities.

November once again dresses up in folk music with this third edition of " Music of Proximity ." It's a tribute to these roots musics, their musicians, and the informants, those elderly people who, like human libraries, store, preserve, and transmit the sounds of yesterday so they can be heard today and be possible tomorrow. Thank you all.

Let the musicians come and let the music play!


  • Tales and songs of washerwomen

Oral narration and live music by Elia &Uxía

" Tales and Songs of Washerwomen " is a work of oral storytelling, theater, and live music based on traditional themes, centered around the task of hand-washing clothes, which women performed in springs, rivers, and wash houses; an emotional journey through one of the most important work environments for women just a few decades ago.

Uxía López, a musician specializing in folklore, sings and plays several pieces related to washerwomen's gatherings on traditional percussion instruments and the accordion. Meanwhile, Elia Tralará, an actress and storyteller, tells several folk tales that reflect how this activity left an indelible mark on oral tradition, interspersed with narratives about what it was like and how women lived and interacted in these workplaces.
