History:
In 1969, a
cultural-musical project begins that would be know in 1978 as "Saraibas".
The main aims that we had and followed keeping them nowadays are the
defense and the promotion of the galician language and culture, through
out the music, but not only on the stages, also on the daily life.
The lirics of our
songs come from classic Galician poets, unknow poets, texts of the
people and a high percentage of own creation.
Lots of those poems
refer to social, political and cultural matter of Galicia with a
"retranca gallega", sattire and hot treatment.
Therefore, we are
called and we feel, a "compromised" group.
Concerts:
For the last 25 years,
we have perfomed all over Galicia, also Barcelona, Bilbao, Sabadell,
Madrid, Venezuela, Lorient Festival, Paris, Munich, London, Bruselas,
Amberes, Ginebra, Berna, Zurich, Braga (Portugal), etc...
