Anxo Lorenzo Live: powerful Celtic folk from Galicia
Anxo Lorenzo performs powerful and dynamic folk music from Galicia in northwest Spain, a region with a strong and unique Celtic tradition and identity. And he is one of the best – having collaborated with the likes of Lunasa, Kathryn Tickell, The Chieftains, Dervish, Spiritu and many others, he’s known as a genre-crossing artist who draws from the wider Celtic scene as well as his Galician Spanish roots. In the UK Anxo and band have played Womad, Trowbridge, Celtic Connections, Cambridge, Sidmouth and Nottingham and Musicport Festivals. Leading on Galicia bagpipes (gaita) and flutes, he’s an exhilarating performer, his fast fingers tracing ridiculously intricate melodies; when top gear is reached, it's impossible to fathom how a human brain can actually work that fast.
