Maragda doesn't just play music; she crafts sonic tapestries woven from the threads of folklore, metal's raw power, and a decidedly modern sensibility. Hailing from Catalonia, Maragda emerged from Barcelona’s vibrant underground scene, quickly carving out a niche with her unique blend of folk metal, drawing inspiration from the region's rich history and mythology. Think Eluveitie jamming with Björk in a sun-drenched Iberian forest. Her music, characterized by ethereal vocals, intricate instrumental arrangements, and driving percussion, isn’t just about headbanging; it's about storytelling. The release of her debut album, "A través del mirall," marked a turning point, garnering critical acclaim for its innovative sound and thought-provoking lyrics, deeply rooted in Catalan identity and struggles. Maragda’s cultural impact lies in her ability to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation, appealing to both seasoned metalheads and those seeking a deeper connection to their cultural heritage. Known for her captivating live performances, Maragda has shared stages with notable acts in the European folk and metal scenes. Currently, she's rumored to be working on new material, promising an even deeper exploration of Catalan folklore and the boundless possibilities of folk metal.
