Mercedes Peón
Mercedes Peón is a Spanish singer and music researcher, she plays on bagpipes and tambourine. At the age of 13 she heard some women singing on the Costa da Morte. The playing of the tambourine and the singing of the ribeirana was the trigger to collect the songs, dances, stories and experiences of the villages' people. An intense compilation begins. She transmitted all this knowledge at schools, at Television of Galicia, and in Universities such as La Sorbonne, Oporto, Wales, etc.
The variety of her compositions that start from the polyrhythm under the gaze of the most ancestral rhythms, culminate in eclectic and blatantly vibrant themes. Her wide repertoire, the energy that seizes each of her performances, make this woman a sure bet for the continuity of the ethnocontemporaneous scene in Europe. After deepening the tradition for more than 25 years, in 2000 she recorded her first album called Isué. She expressed herself and expanded through the international field without any media effort. In her later works, Ajrú (2004), Sihá (2007) and Sós (2008), she created her particular creative atmosphere, a combination of Galician tradition, electronics and rock as if it were the most natural way that such disparate styles would meet, making of them her specific sound.
Her latest work, Deixaas, is the result of an intense research on the possibilities of sound art brought to the field of tradition, in which she stands out as an international reference.
