Camaxe goes all the way back to the encounter of two musicians: Miguel Allo and Marc De Martelaer. Together they decide to form a band which will take as a starting point the traditional music from Galicia, an autonomous region in the north west of Spain. Miguel knows that tradition inside out. At a very young age he starts playing the gaita (Galician bagpipes), the emblematic instrument of the area he comes from. Soon he also starts composing his own melodies. He puts to music the images from his Galicia which linger in his head. The first CD “Imaxes” comes out in 2005. It is a record which is at the same time melancholy and joyous. Marc’s arrangements appeal to an audience with an openness to the peculiar sound of the band. The CD receives a warm welcome as well in the specialised press as on the stages of various festivals in the Benelux, France and Spain.
