Gatos del Fornu - Gatos del Fornu (Spain 2002) @320

In January 1996 was founded the group " Los Gatos del Fornu ", in order to collect and disseminate traditional Asturian music.

This collective is formed from the union of several musicians from other groups related to the Asturian culture
(Andecha Folclor d’Uviéu, Banda de Gaites “Fonte Fuécara”...) and others from the Conservatory of Oviedo.
The aim of our association is mainly the dissemination of traditional Asturian music, but they also include other traditional pieces of Atlantic Rim countries (Galicia, Brittany, Ireland...), in addition to his own compositions.

At first, the group began as an attempt to revive it in Asturias called " Bandinas " spontaneous groupings or
already prepared several musicians who came together to liven up a party or pilgrimage, using musical instruments embedded in Asturias. The group evolved into a folk group with a more elaborate and personal music.
