Caamaño&Ameixeiras

Sabela Caamaño (chromatic accordion) and Antía Ameixeiras (violin, vocals) are Caamaño&Ameixeiras, a Galician duo linked to roots music and dance. Since its birth in 2018, this duo has had an intense trajectory, both nationally and internationally. Taking tradition as a starting point, the duo manages to create its own unique language, with personal and lively compositions and arrangements that both keep the essence of popular music while incorporating contemporary resources and placing emotion at the forefront.

After the success of their first album, “Aire!” (Segell Microscopi, 2021) —Martín Códax da Música Award 2021 as the best folk group, 1st prize at the Folkez Blai 2021 (Ermua, Basque Country), Opinión da Música de Raíz Award for Record of the Year 2021— produced by the renowned musician from Burgos Diego Galaz and with such outstanding collaborations such as Sílvia Pérez Cruz or Fetén Fetén, the duo releases their second album in October 2023.

In “Quitar o aire” (Raso Estudio, 2023), with Hevi (Malandrómeda) the producer, Caamaño&Ameixeiras resignify and update the codes of roots music, turning their sound upside down, elevating the mysticism and depth, taking the sonority of Galician and Iberian tradition to the virulence of more close-ups with music that goes beyond the margins of genres.
