Xera

Xera is a band from Asturias, Spain. Their music is a mixture of traditional Asturian folk and Techno. So their music varies from folk songs with dense electronic rhythm sections; to energetic techno songs with gaita, fiddle, and bouzouki carrying the melody; to everything in between.

All their music to date has been released under a Creative Commons license, and can be downloaded for free off their website or Jamendo.
