Argelaguer, a town with fewer than five hundred inhabitants, is the operational base of Sol i Serena, a group that lives and breathes the clear air and slow pace of small towns. Their repertoire alternates songs from the oral tradition, adaptations of poems and original compositions, but always maintains a strong well-crafted character and a characteristic sound.Currently working on their forthcoming third album, they are building a sound wich makes the case for "roots music with a fresh and contemporary feel, which aims to create new branches in the poorly fed tree of the folk tradition".
With this ancient recipe of a traditional drink called "ratafia" Sol i Serena tries to explain how they concipe the process of developing a repertoire, with patience, pampering each subject as if it was unique in the world and investing the necessary time to find the best ingredients.
The history of the band begins in a bus in the way to England. The band begins.to develop a distinctive style based on Catalan Country's mother culture. And so because a this is quite rich culture with great vitality, and also wiht a wide variety of misical instruments, the project has an extensive field to grow.
