Banda das Crechas and Maija Kauhanen

Banda das Crechas has the face of a collective universe which we started constructing between us 31 years ago based on conversation, art, live music, the love for our own culture and our curiosity for the strange at “Casa das Crechas”. An open collective; a band 2.0 in which the usual musicians get together with occasional visitors to keep the tradition alive, with the sound and emotion of the ceilidh session. This disc is a recording of one of those nights of song and dance in which Casa das Crechas honours its history converting itself, once more, into the meeting place it has been since the middle of the 19th century.
