Uxía

Uxía, the voice of the Atlantic.

Uxía conceives writing words and music that always flow from the deep of her soul. In 2012 she celebrates 27 years of artistic carreer, what turns her into one of the most popular and cherrished voices of Galician language. The traditional music is always present in her songs, but with an innovating and personal treatment. She's always had the belief that a community that has sang through all times cannot lose such a fundamental instrument as its voice. That is why she has promoted the creation of “Cantareira's groups” (women traditional singers) such as Malvela or Cantadeiras do Berbés, participating in numerous musical experiences with renowned artists such as Tito Paris, Jessye Norman, Dulce Pontes, Noa, João Afonso or Chico César, among others.

Her career is also emphasized by her production work in records such as “Vida miña” and “Interior” by Emilio Rúa, “Na Flor dos meus anos” by Señora Carmen e and "A nena e o grilo" by Magín Blanco.

Uxía captures in her compositions the essence of her wide experiences among kindred musicians from all over the world and their traditional backgrounds as well. It all emerges and flows as a natural consecuence of this bond.

Her passion for cultural mixes gets her to merge voices, instruments, rythms and sounds... as a magnet for talent, a proof of this is her work as the Artistic Director and creator of the International Festival of Lusofonía “Cantos na Maré”, a multicultural show conceived as a meeting point for artists from the Lusophony areas.
