Artist description:“Best Artist“ Galician Awards “Premios Opinión Música de Raíz“ 2019 Anxo Lorenzo is a virtuoso award-winning Galician piper who has toured extensively throughout the major European festival circuit, having featured in WOMAD, Cambridge Folk Festival, Celtic Connections, Festival Interceltique de Lorient, Ortigueira, Cork Folk Festival, William Kennedy Piping Festival, to name but a few. His exceedingly high octane, mesmerizing performances have left audiences in euphoria, becoming a modern entry in the lore of many of these long established events. Reciprocally, he has been decorated with festival awards (the latest being the distinguished Folkherbst Award) and regularly features in official festival CD charts (more often completely selling out of stock before a tour’s end). In addition to fronting his own band, Anxo has collaborated with such prestigious artists as Lúnasa, The Chieftains, Kathryn Tickell, Jarlath Henderson, Michael McGoldrick, Blackie O´Connell, Diarmaid Moynihan, Ross Ainslie, to name a few. Anxo has introduced the gaita pipes to an extraordinarily wide array of music genres. Early in his career he co-founded the electronic fusion band, Spiritu 986, and has since merged with top tier artists across jazz, pop, rock, Indian classical, and flamenco. In addition, he has been invited to international conservatories and cultural centres to present masterclasses and performance workshops to learners and enthusiasts of all levels. One of those rare breed of artiste entertainers, Anxo is at home among his audience, with an increasingly large and loyal following returning to hear what beyond belief sounds like! “the incredible Anxo Lorenzo“ Fatea Magazine. “a combination of sheer speed and unbridled imagination that simply defies belief!“ Geoff Wallis at the Irish Music Review. It is a difficult task to define a musician simply through the use of words and especially so when the musician is Anxo Lorenzo. An artiste who has all the qualities that enable him to touch the essence of music itself, marking it with his own personality and moulding it at his whim achieving the spectacular results on show in his new album, “Vortex“. In his universal experience as a piper, he has collaborated in many musical projects fusing the traditional sound of the pipes with a great array of styles and genres from jazz to electronic, pop, rock, or flamenco. In his hands, the pipes are unfettered and endowed with endless possibilities thanks to his genial flair.
