XABIER DÍAZ

GALICIA

Born in A Coruña, Xabier Díaz embarks on a journey through Galicia compiling songs and music from rural women that then gathers in his records to which he gives a personal touch along with this traditional style.

With As Catedrais Silenciadas, Xabier completes the trilogy he created with Aldufeiras de Salitre with the the albums Noró and The Tambourine Man. According to him, there was no village in Galicia left to visit during their creation.
