Pakolas (Paco Cerdeira)

Paco Cerdeira, or Pakolas, the name by which he introduces himself to children, is a musician and composer, and defines himself as a rocker and guitar player, creating music for all audiences, from the youngest to the whole family.

Paco Cerdeira has been dedicated to children's audiences for more than 16 years, with a long career in this professional field. He began his career as a member of Mamá Cabra and, after almost 10 years as a member of the group, in 2014 he decided to form a children's band, and so A Gramola Gominola was born, which has already released three albums published by Sonárbore (Ed Galaxia), "A Gramola Gominola" (2015), "Cancións para desafinar" (2017) and "Bravas. O rexurdir da luz" (2019).

At the end of 2015, he began to articulate his more personal project and thus the proposal of "Pakolas" was born, where he continues to work for children with his own lyrics and compositions. His first solo work came out in November 2017, a book+CD published by Editorial Galaxia in its collection Sonárbore, under his name "Pakolas". In 2020, and in the same collection, her second book+CD "Ramona Órbita, a Dona do Tempo" was published. In April 2023, his latest work, "A Ramona Pequena vai á Lua" (Ed Galaxia), was released.

Pakolas' small-format shows have been touring all over Galicia since April 2017, with an astounding reaction from the public. In 2023 he won the XIV Premio Rosalía de Castro de la Diputación de A Coruña and was a finalist in the X Martín Códax Music Awards in the Children's Music category.
