ARTAICA is a new project which emerged in Valencia with musicians with an extensive background in root music. ARTAICA was born with the confluence of diverse artistic and aesthetic heritage, creating a genuine sound and an unprecedented and contemporary vision of tradition, making traditional music evolve in a subtle way, following the premise of the cult and respect of beauty. The musical roots that nourish ARTAICA are reflected in the Valencian “cant d'estil” and other Mediterranean music. However, they do not renounce courting melodies, rhythms and sounds coming from inland, achieving a very personal style coming close to traditions, some known, and others more distant.
