Anxo Lorenzo from Moaña, a small village on the Atlantic Coast of Galicia, is a new breed of musician who sees no barriers when experimenting with traditional and contemporary music and has the ability of seamlessly amalgamating the two into vibrant, fresh and new melodies and rhythms. Anxo has managed to fuse the unadulterated natural sound of the Gaita (Galician Bagpipes) with a wide variety of alternative music styles such as : Rock, Pop, Jazz, Flamenco, Chill out, Hip-Hop, electronic... converting the Gaita into an avant-garde instrument without giving-up his celtic roots.

Anxo has collaborated with what reads like a Who is Who of the music world, from the pure traditional folk scene to jazz, not forgetting rock, pop and electronic genres, such as Skape, Celtas Cortos, Lunasa, Kathryn Tickell, Michael McGoldrick, The Chieftains, Daimh, The National Jazz Orchestra, Luigi Lai, Diarmaid Moynihan, Brian Finnegan, Xarabal, Om/Off, Jaula de Grillos, Tejedor, Angus Mackenzie, Iain MacDonald, Germán Díaz, Mónica Molina, Amistades Peligrosas, Poncho k, Pedro Gonzalez, Spiritu (986)...

As a classically trained musician, soloist and composer Anxo continues with his research into various fields of music and gives master classes all over the world.

Geoff Wallis from the Irish Music Review summed it all up very neatly when he wrote:" ...the unquestionably outstanding track is a jaw-dropping work-out on an untitled set of tunes by the Galician piper Anxo Lorenzo, a staggering improvisation whose combination of sheer speed and unbridled imagination simply defies belief!

Anxo will be joined by long-term collaborator Xose Liz de Cea on bouzouki, guitar and flauta
