A band formed by Jaime Rebollo, Iván Costa & Diego Langarika, with his unusual instruments: bouzouki, zanfona and nyckelharpa.

Obal brings his music from the Rías Baixas in Galicia, where this project was born, thought and created from the dance. Already in its beginnings, in 2014, folk music and dance come together for Obal, following a growing trend troughout Europe: the bal-folk.

With a traditional repertoire and also new compositions, own and from other authors. Bourré, xota, scotish, mazurka, brandle, muiñeira, circassian, etc.

Baile en Massó

It will be our first record, the recording of a repertoire that we started to elaborate in 2015, and that we recorded live in Ancestral Estudios with Isaac Millán at the controls. We also have the photos of Fernando Iglesías Fotografía, the videos of Bea Besada Homestudio and the great dancers Mercedes Prieto and Sergio Cobos.
The location in the ruins of the old factory of Massó (Cangas), is our particular tribute to all the women and men working of the sea and especially to the whales.
