Bio
The recipe of this music group founded in 2000 in Barcelona has always forged from a known and
simple formula: the musical stews cooked in the Mediterranean but with no set Galician Atlantic.
Keympa was based primarily on the sounds and the musical repertoire of cultural and traditional
Galician and Atlantic roots. Training born in Catalonia, Keympa became one of the bands Celtic air
with the most of the Iberian Peninsula. But the eclecticism of the group, on the one hand, and touring
various Spanish cities sharing the stage with musicians as Kepa Junkera and Carlos Núñez, on the
other hand, managed to place the group as a new referent of the root music fused with modern music
and ethnic rhythms in general.
The Galicia, Cantabrian, Irish and Atlantic influences have always been a constant in the music of
Keympa especially evident in the group's first album and the first live performances, so the group took
part in the Festival XXVè music Ortigueira Celta in 2002, one of the most prestigious European
festivals in Europe such as music is concerned and certainly the oldest music festival in the Iberian
Peninsula.
