Welcome to the Folgazán site!

Folgazán is a Belgian folk-rock-pop band that widely crosses the borders of traditional folk music. Next to violin, flutes, accordion and piano you will find acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitar and drums, easily mixing elements of contemporary pop and rock music with typical Irish tunes and other Celtic or gipsy influences. Folgazán always plays varying concerts containing catching dancing tunes, rock songs with a folk sound, delicate melodies with a jazzy folk-touch and cheerful party songs. Mostly sung by male and female voice in English (or Dutch), sometimes purely instrumental.

In 2007 Folgazán ended up second in the finals of the Dranouter Folk Contest. Folgazán also played their first concert abroad: the audience of the Misty Fields Festival in Holland was happily surprised to discover this energetic band from Belgium. In 2008 the band confirmed their growing live reputation with a successful gig at Labadoux, the second largest folk festival in Belgium. 2009 promises to confirm the band's popularity with the launch of a music clip and several Summer festival gigs.
