Albaluna, a six-piece Portuguese band founded in 2010, led by multi-instrumentalist and composer Ruben Monteiro, emerged from that fertile fusion of planes. The group dedicates itself to musical, historical and cultural research and to the creation and arrangement of musical pieces. Mainly original, these are highly inspired by the cultural continuum which unites the peoples around the Mediterranean Sea and the three cultures that define the civilisational heritage of the Iberian Peninsula. Using as many antique instruments from various parts of the world as modern instruments, the six musicians present an energetic album, full of distinct musical aromas, embracing multiple genres, such as world music, prog rock and metal, folk, and fusion.
