SEIVA

SEIVA - Portuguese Cutting Edge Folk

Seiva look at the Portuguese soul – present in work songs, in pilgrimages, in square drums (Adufe) and tambourines, in ancient rhythms and songs of faith, with special emphasis on the “Senhoras” songs, the women who protect, welcome, and know all evils. The women of immemorial ancestry invoked in songs that transform faith into true healing acts.

Seiva look forward to breaking new ground, mixing tradition with electronics and electricity without shame or purism. They bring all this rurality to the rock-urban habitat of their members and they try to renew their whole culture and show it to the World.
