Clave de Fado

Clave de Fado is a band of independent music founded in Galicia with the purpose of offering a different vision of the music published in Galician and Portuguese. Based on fado, they achieve an interesting and rich fusion creating their own style.

Multifaceted performer and composer, author of music for contemporary dance performances, theater, short-films, as well as for other bands.

Xanelas is Clave de Fado's first album, for which they had a special collaboration with Uxía Senlle, among others.
