Ruido , the new single by An Danzza, is now available on digital platforms and on YouTube as a music video. It’s very different from what this veteran folk project has released so far. Ruido is a raw, fast-paced track with a clear message: indifference in the face of barbarity is what will end us. In it, hurdy-gurdies, bagpipes, guitars and whistles intertwine with synthesizers and electronic elements, resulting in a dizzying, powerful song , far removed from the melodic beauty that usually characterizes the compositions of this Madrid-based band. The single comes with a music video set in a post-apocalyptic Madrid, where we see the Cibeles Fountain abandoned and overgrown with vegetation, the Four Towers half-collapsed, and El Retiro Park turned into an echo of what it once was. Shot in the mysterious ghost town of El Alamín (Madrid), the images of destruction suggest that wild nature would reclaim what humans once took from it. Both the music video and the single are fully independent productions, something that has defined An Danzza since their beginnings over 20 years ago and gives them complete control and creative freedom over their music. Less than a year ago, An Danzza released their latest album, Encantadas , also available on digital platforms. It’s a medieval-folk record that they are taking to stages in Spain and abroad in trio format (violin, guitar/bouzouki, voice/percussion) and as a trio with dancer. Booking for 2026 is now open (for more information, contact: andanzzapress@gmail.com ). This is how An Danzza sounds LIVE .

The fantasy folk group shares the live performance from May 10th at Espacio Ronda, marking the celebration of St. John’s Day, a date that inspires their new album Encantadas . An Danzza has released the concert they performed on May 10th at Espacio Ronda (Madrid), a tribute to their Encantadas  — the creatures that bring their new album to life and awaken strongly on the magical night of St. John. The live show, which sold out the renowned Madrid venue, offered a journey through the most evocative tracks from Encantadas , b lending music, vocals, dance, and legends in a deeply ritualistic and dreamlike atmosphere. Besides the new compositions, the setlist included some of An Danzza’s most iconic songs, such as Hekate , Las moras negras , and El árbol del ahorcado , warmly received by the audience. On stage, Andrés Campuzano (guitar, bouzouki), Haydée Mariñoso (vocals, percussion), Roberto Rodríguez (violin), and Layali Alkasar (dance) brought to life a show rich in symbolism, connecting with nature, the ancestral, and the invisible. The video is now available on their YouTube channel, offering a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in An Danzza’s magical universe, where mythology intertwines with sound, and spirituality with art.

The fantasy folk/world music project An Danzza has just released Encantadas , its tenth studio album, on digital platforms. This new album, with a more medieval and folk sound than its predecessor Visions of a volva  (2023), marks a return to its roots and even features an original Murcian jota titled La encantá . Based in Madrid with Murcian origins, the band delves into the stories of the Iberian Peninsula, collecting legends of enchanted beings – the "fairies" of our folklore – from as diverse locations as Guadalajara, Madrid, Asturias, Galicia, Cantabria, Catalonia, Extremadura, Murcia, Euskadi, and Portugal. The result is eleven folk-medieval tracks that immerse the listener in tragic legends, balancing between fantasy and the pure essence of our ancestors. As a fun fact, the track Fecha os olhos  (a Portuguese legend) is performed entirely in Portuguese as a nod to the thousands of Portuguese-speaking fans who have supported the project almost from its inception. As with previous works, the production has been completely independent and was handled by composer Andrés Campuzano, who founded the project over 20 years ago in Madrid. Singer Haydée Mariñoso, who has been the vocalist for An Danzza since 2015, lent her voice to this new work.

Encantadas , the new album by An Danzza, will be released on March 21, 2025. It is a collection of legends about the fairies from different parts of the Iberian Peninsula. We all know Tinker Bell, but... what about the fae creatures of iberian folklore? Mouras, alojas, anjanas, strange figures that appear in fountains, rivers, and caves on the Night of San Juan... there are countless stories that repeat throughout our geography. Specifically, Encantadas gathers stories from Madrid, Murcia, Guadalajara, Cantabria, Euskadi, Extremadura, Asturias, Galicia, Catalonia, and Portugal. A medieval sound -sometimes festive, sometimes melancholic- accompanies these ancestral legends revived by An Danzza, who has just celebrated no less than 20 years of history. This new release, the tenth project in the fantasy folk series, will be digitally distributed on all platforms, along with its first three singles, which have been released over the past few months: Moura, Dama de Anboto, and Alojas.

The new track from the veteran folk group is inspired by the legend of the nymphs of Lake Banyoles (Catalonia) and is now available on digital platforms and as a music video on YouTube An Danzza delves into Catalan mythology with their new single,  Alojas , a track  inspired by the story of the nymphs of Lake Banyoles (Girona, Catalonia) . According to legend, at the bottom of these waters lies a crystal palace inhabited by aquatic women. Local folklore describes them as extraordinarily beautiful, eternally young creatures who can be seen combing their hair, singing, and dancing on moonlit nights. However, it is said that venturing near the lake at night is not advisable, as they are believed to lure humans into their domain, making them disappear forever. The music of this track  captures the essence of those magical nocturnal dances under the moonlight , blending ethereal melodies and hypnotic rhythms that evoke the stillness and mystery of the lake. Carefully crafted instrumental arrangements enhance the dreamlike and captivating nature of the piece. Alojas  is part of An Danzza’s  tenth album, Encantadas, which draws inspiration from mythical female figures of various traditions across the Iberian Peninsula.  This album, set  to be released in the coming months , brings to life stories from Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, the Basque Country, Catalonia, Murcia, Madrid, Guadalajara, Extremadura, and Portugal. An Danzza will present this work live at the historic Sala Galileo Galilei in Madrid on May 14, 2025,  in a very special concert performed as a trio with a dancer:  https://salagalileo.es/eventos/an-danzza/

This new track, inspired by the goddess Mari, one of the most enigmatic and powerful figures in Basque mythology, is available on digital platforms and as a music video on YouTube. 'Dama de Anboto' delves into the story of Mari, the goddess of earth and storms in Basque mythology, whose favored home is the Anboto cave in the mountains of Euskadi. In her role as protector of nature and guardian of ancient secrets, Mari embodies the untamable power of the earth and is a deeply respected figure: she punishes lies and greed, controls the weather, guards treasures, and connects the human world with the supernatural realm. Her mysterious presence symbolizes the Basque people’s ancestral connection with the earth and natural cycles, reminding us of the necessary balance that must exist between humans and their environment. 'Encantadas', An Danzza's upcoming album, is a collection of stories inspired by legends of fairies and spirits from the Iberian Peninsula. This work brings back tales from Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, the Basque Country, Catalonia, Murcia, Madrid, Guadalajara, Extremadura, and Portugal. The album is currently in production and is expected to be available in the coming months. 'Dama de Anboto', the music video:

The fantasy folk project An Danzza will take part in the next edition of La Noche de los Candiles, a magical evening under the stars where fire, music, and a connection to the ancestral will be the main features. La Noche de los Candiles is a unique event held in Almócita (Almería), promoting responsible consumption and renewable energy, reminding us of our connection with nature. As night falls, a large oil lamp is lit atop the village, followed by a blackout, leaving the town illuminated solely by torches, candles, and oil lamps. It’s an experience that deeply invites reflection on our relationship with nature and the importance of preserving it, something that resonates directly with the music and spirit of An Danzza. 🗓 When?
