Legiana Collective

The band Legiana Collective has created its own sound from various folk influences, recognisable by the polyphonic arrangements of the female singers accompanied by a surprising array of acoustic instruments. Over the past four years they have developed from different folk traditions, into an original group with their own compositions and a worldly sound.

After their beginnings in different street formations, the members from the Netherlands, Italy, Denmark and Spain are now a fully-fledged podium show, that does not forsake their acoustic sound and theatrical presentation. They are based in the Netherlands but have played international tours with shows at Bout du Monde, Eurofolk and Millo Verde and shows in Paradiso, Mezrab and Grounds, but you can always run into them on the street or in a session.

Seeing Legiana Collective live is like traveling to a mountain village in the Pyrenees, a cobbled street in Italy or an Irish bar where folks are dancing, laughing and singing.
