Mina

experimental folklore group

Impro music / flamenco / percussion / drone / noise / collective / live composition / ritual

Mamen Fernández / Andrés Navarro / Selu Herraiz / Emilio Saura / Alejandro Solano.

Mina is an experimental meeting of polyrhythmic and abstract percussion with soundscape, synthesized waves and memories of traditional flamenco from the Iberian periphery. A band that works on deconstructing traditional songs through improvisation and instant de-composition from an experimental perspective, without losing the reference to flamenco.

An intermittent project based between Southern-Spain and Berlin in which Mamen Fernández, a singer from Cartagena, reveals a poetry and lyrics that explore the limits of voice, accompanied with "quebraos". Andrés Navarro and Emilio Saura, bring free style percussion and extended techniques that nurture and break the traditional rhythms of Alejandro Solano's yunque and cajón (flamenco style). Selu Herraiz introduces field recordings, synthesizers and self-made instruments, melting the sound into psychedelic atmospheres or noise structures.
