The romantic "Palmira" with her arabesques airs, sounding at the Sala Karma (Pontevedra), last October 27, 2007.
Faltriqueira is an autonomous vocal project raised in Pontedeume (Galicia), which escapes from the rigid tradition and brings new life to songs collected from diverse latitudes, not only from their homeland.
The band personify the freshest of the scene emerging from the fountains of traditional music. Fusing poliphony with drumming and acoustic instruments.
After many years of hard work on the melodic tradition of the pandereteiras (tambourine women players), these four young singers have put together a collection of traditional tunes in a modern style where voices mix with synthesizers and fiddle, accordion, darboukas, txalapartas, cellos, guitar,....
Their most outstanding feature is the polyphonic arrangement of galician rural villages and of other places and latitude of the world (their melodies as opposed to the traditional monophonic singing of galician rural villages). Tunes like "Vamos dançar", "As sete mulheres do minho", "Agarrado de Brañas Verdes", "Fatou yo", "Canto libre", "Cantiga bailada", "Sae lúa", "Corpiño xeitoso", "Trobadores", "Queridiño", "Adios", "Ven bailar", or "Palmira" .... show very clearly the band's personal and innovative style.

Heime de ir e non me vou
Heime de ir e non me vou
Eu non me podo apartar
Do redor de quen estou
Non te me poñas de costas
Nin te poñas de través
Ponte de cara dereita
Que quero saber quen és

Eu non sei o que me deches
Que non te podo olvidar
De día no pensamento
E de noite no soñar
Na alma se me cravou
A raíz do teu querer
Mentres no mundo vivir
Outro amor non hei de ter

I should leave but I don't go
I should leave but I don't go
I can't break apart
from the one beside me
Don't turn away
don't turn your back,
turn your face to me,
I want to know who you are
faltriqueiroastur 2 years ago
You must have done something to me
for I can't get you out of my mind
Meither in my daily thoughts
or my nightly dreams
Yor loving has taken root
deep down in my soul.
As long as I live in this world,
I won't have another love
