Senor Cabrales

Senor Cabrales is a group of well-known and respected traditional musicians from Australia who have come together to share their love of the music of Asturias, Galicia and Brittany. The band's focus on fine multi-instrumental arrangements, driving harmonic rythm and rich percussion produces a powerful, exiting and innovative sound which has thrilled festival audiences throughout Australia. All of the artists in the band have a long association with celtic musical traditions in Australia, and their deep roots in Irish, Breton and Scottish music weave perfectly into their expression of the rich and beautiful musical traditions of "green Spain". This band is a must see for lovers of high quality traditional music.
