Formed in Barcelona by Giulietta Vidal and Irene Romo, Alosa weave close harmony singing, cello and traditional percussion into songs that feel both ancient and newly made. Emerging from the Taller de Músics music school, the duo first caught wider attention when their song “A la voreta del foc” spread across social media, before going on to win the 2024 Concurs Sons de la Mediterrània and become one of Catalonia’s most talked-about young folk groups.

Their music moves between original compositions, reimagined Catalan traditional songs and unexpected touches of jazz, pop and Mediterranean colour. Their debut album El primer cant del matí has confirmed a distinctive voice: intimate, rhythmically alive and full of warmth, with performances built around the power of two voices, a cello and small percussion instruments.

Arriving in Australia after major recognition at the 2026 Enderrock Awards, where they were named Best New Artist and won Best Folk Album from both critics and the public, Alosa offer Australian audiences a rare chance to hear the next wave of Catalan folk up close.
