The mountainous northern Spanish region of Asturias, a close cultural cousin to neighbouring Galicia, nonetheless nurtures its own distinct traditions, strongly informed by the Celtic heritage of Europe’s Atlantic seaboard. Those age-old connections with Scotland, in particular, have been vibrantly rekindled in recent decades, not least by the pioneering band Llan de Cubel, without whom no Asturian gathering at Celtic Connections would be complete. Celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2009, the group are justly regarded as godfathers of the current Asturian folk revival, combining carefully-researched traditional material and instrumentation with deft contemporary touches.

Tonight’s other acts include rising star Anabel Santiago, a dazzling young singer in the ancient Asturian style of tonado, a distant relative to flamenco characterised by its intense, powerful delivery. Her most recent album, 2007’s stunning Desnuda, allies her mesmerising voice with specially written songs by her close collaborator Ismael Arias, amidst a bold mesh of influences from tango to country.
