At the end of 89 we decided to share the Traditional Song of Galicia, through the sound of tambourines and voices, believing that the Galician Song, by its uniqueness and strength, should have its own space on stage.

After 25 years and five albums Leilia wants to thank all the women who did and make possible the creation, preservation, and transmission of the Galician oral tradition. Thanks embodied in the figure of Eva Castiñeiras, a singer, a pandereteira, a woman like so many women from almost anonymous seeded our land of art, culture and beauty.

With the invaluable collaboration of the musician and arranger Xoán Porto, we propose in this fifth album, a musical idea according to a new reality. A project in which only three instruments: guitar, accordion and bass, harbor to perfection the beauty of the Traditional Song, and the verses of some of the best Galician actual poets.
