El primeru | Uruna

What is Uruna?

Investigators say that the temperature in the depths of the cavities of the interior of the earth is perfectly stable, marking the average temperature of that point. For this reason when we peek into the mouth of a cavity in good weather we notice a cold air, which our people have always called uruna.

The uruna, the air of the earth, is the result of a perpetual cycle and when we perceive it we internally feel the stillness of time.

The musicians Mariu Torre and Raúl Molleda come from having played in other folk and traditional music groups such as Gatu Malu, Bruma Folk, Luétiga, Brez, Bozainas del Juncu and La Flor y los Romeros. One fine day we found ourselves in a case similar to that of the uruna: we wanted to circulate for a long stretch deep in the earth to come out with our own fresh air. And here we are.

El primeru ("The first one")

It will be a family record for those who like the classic folk sound and traditional Cantabrian melodies.

We set out to find a sound for our popular music, deliberately ignoring what the musicians previously advised us.

We take good note of the tendencies and ways of proceeding in the folk to be able to reject of them properly. And we hope you like it.

About the rewards

We offer you several lots to collaborate in the edition of "el primeru" as you see fit; Of course, save yourself from looking for the one that includes the well-known "Tote bag" because we were very aware of remembering to forget it at all times.

The rewards are titled by different denominations that receive the little edifices that in the past were used by the Pasiegos to keep cold products such as cheeses and butter, taking advantage of the uruna of cavities and springs.

What will we use your contributions for?

All proceeds will go to cover the production and editing costs of "el primeru". To do this, we set a minimum target of €2,500.

The album will have twelve tracks and will be released in digipack format with a twelve-page color booklet.

"El primeru" will be a self-produced album, recorded in Trieme Studios and mixed and mastered in Palomar Studios by the third leg of the tripod that makes up Uruna, our sound technician Baldo Bañuls.

Planned schedule

Today we are fully involved in the studio, both in recording and mixing tasks.

We would like to have the album finished in the month of April and be able to deliver all the rewards to you in May or June at the latest.
