 Deva Author/Band: Llan de Cubel
Asturian traditional music of celtic origin
Description/Songs: Deva is Llan de Cubelīs debut solo album (aside from
previous appearances on compilations) and--as the title suggests--it is
dedicated to the Celtic Goddess of the seas. The title is also a tribute to
Cuideiru, the cold and rainy fishing village where most of the band members are
from, as a local legend says that Deva became a huge rock overlooking
the village and giving the "pixuetu" (people from Cuideiru) seafolk
their children. Deva was a huge success with both critics and
record sales, considered by many the album of the year in Asturies.
Llan de Cubel are unquestionably the most internationally recognised
Asturian folk group and their five records--published between 1987 and
1999--are basic for the new Asturian music. Their tunes are characterized by
their recurring rhythm, the originality in treating the traditional tunes, the
use of vindicatory and poetic texts (in sung themes) and a high melodic and
instrumental quality. They play gaita, violin, flute, percussion, bouzouky,
acoustic guitar, bass and--occasionally--accordion and synthesizer. Llan de
Cubel are: Marcos Llope, Elías García, Fonsu Mielgo--three of
the founders--, Simon Bradley, Xuan Rodríguez and Xel Pereda.
