MontRauxa is a research-based musical creation project led by Nan Mercader and inspired in the sounds and histories that live in the Montseny mountain (Catalonia).
A sound investigation through the Montseny and the rhythmic analysis of its environment brought the basis to compose MontRauxa's themes.
For this project, new and costumized instruments were made and also old tradicional instruments were recovered.
Ten drummers, four wind instruments and a dancer in order to offer you much more than a concert: an authentic tribute to the mountain, its people and its culture.

- THE RHYTHMS OF MONTSENY-
Nature, traditions, tales and legends... the magic imaginery of the mountains of Montseny give life to MontRauxa's musical and scenic show.
