Composer, producer, cultural researcher, teacher and performer, born in Oza-Cesuras (A Coru\u00f1a) in 1967. She is considered one of the most charismatic artists on the global world music circuit, not without a certain post-colonial tension: she describes herself as an \u201cartist with cultural self-esteem\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the age of thirteen she heard the singing and playing of women from A Costa da Morte on the Galician coast, inspiring her to spend 25 years collecting music. She started composing in the year 2000. Is\u00fae<\/em>, her first disc, was followed by Ajr\u00fa<\/em>, Sih\u00e1<\/em>, S\u00d3S<\/em> and Deixaas<\/em>. She works together with other disciplines, such as dance, with Janet Nov\u00e1s on the piece Mercedes m\u00e1is eu<\/em>, and films, composing soundtracks. Her most recent work is Osmose<\/em>, where she enters into a dialogue with the film Naci\u00f3n<\/em> by Margarita Ledo Andi\u00f3n and, through the struggle of working-class Galician women, explores the pre-gender conception of the body. She was the first \u201cwoman\u201d to enter and win the MacAllan award and the only Spanish National Music Prize winner in Galicia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2842,"template":"","categoria-participante":[101],"class_list":["post-2844","participante","type-participante","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-participante-variations-on-gender"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
