Sangre de Muerdago

Sangre de Muerdago is a Galician neofolk band formed in Ourense but based in Leipzig (Germany).

The band was started in by Pablo Caamiña Ursusson and Jorge Olson de Abreu in 2007, when they released their first demo Sangre de Muerdago. The group recorded their self-titled first full-length album in 2009.

Their lyrics, sung in Galician, are inspired by the Galician and European tradition, dealing with themes related to nature with mystical elements. They make use of traditional musical instruments such as the hurdy-gurdy and the nyckelharpa. They have converted several poems by Galician writers into contemporary music, including the works of Rosalía de Castro, Celso Emilio Ferreiro and Manuel María. The group have performed 20 international tours, and have collaborated in split albums with other artists such as Novemthree, Monarch, Steve Von Till (Neurosis) and Judasz & Nahimana.
