An Danzza - Topic

An Danzza is an independent "Fantasy Folk" project from Madrid (Spain) composed and produced by Andrés Campuzano. An Danzza started as a personal studio project on 2004, and released their first self-produced album Last Autumn Tears in 2010. They have since 6 more self-produced albums with many colaborators (as of December 2019), 1 EP, and 5 metal singles (as a side project) and reaching 3 Million views on Youtube. The project is strongly inspired by the many pagan traditions of Europe. Their works feature mythology both old and new, from Celtic mythology, Norse mythology and Classical mythology to J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium. The songs are varied, using many different instruments, most commonly the hammered dulcimer, oboe, traditional drums, guitar, bouzouki, flutes, bagpipes, harp, synthesizers etc.. Lyrics are usually sung in English, except for the 2011 album Canción de Los Juncos which is entirely sung in Spanish by Macarena Martín. A wide range of vocalists have featured in An Danzza's albums and singles throughout the years, with Haydée Mariñoso being the current lead vocalist since 2015. The project was first brought to the stage in 2016 with a band, offering several concerts and recording a video clip for Beltane song In December 2018 Andrés continues his work in the studio and The Claws of Dawn is published, an album with 15 songs full of fantasy and folk sounds: the music travels between two worlds: life and death, reality and fantasy, light and darkness.
