Alosa has traditional roots and is a personal, sincere and energetic proposal in the Catalan folk imaginary. The duet formed by Giulietta Vidal (vocals) and Irene Romo (cello) has managed to captivate audiences through their unique interpretations and their ability to fuse tradition and modernity. With a vibrant live performance, Alosa manages to fill any hall or festival with the austerity of their scenic proposal, using only their harmonic voices, a cello and small traditional percussion instruments, rising through the unique connection between the two performers, who make each concert an intimate and festive experience at the same time.
The artists began their collaboration with a friendship that arose in the classrooms of Taller de Músics and this soon evolved into a project that became a viral success with “A la voreta del foc” in 2023. Their first studio EP, Oh, lai l’om, was released in July 2024 and has been awarded best folk album at the Enderrock Awards. They were the winners of the XVII Sons de la Mediterrània Contest and thanks to this they are developing a new show and recording an album in 2025.
Oh, lai l’om
After the viral phenomenon of “A la voreta del foc”, which accumulated more than 650 thousand reproductions, Alosa release their first studio EP, Oh, lai l’om. This EP includes their singles “La meva barca” and “La Plaça”, as well as the interpretation of “Sota de l’om”, all with new arrangements, and an unreleased composition: “Una nova casa”.
Oh, lai l’om is a captivating fusion of tradition and modernity, reinterpreting traditional-style songs with contemporary freshness. Through themes of love, community, and connection with nature, each song reflects a unique emotional and cultural richness. With poetic lyrics and evocative melodies, the EP explores the celebration of everyday life, self-discovery, and personal empowerment. Alosa succeeds in connecting the past and the present, offering a very close and personal musical experience.
Honesty and naturalness, the magic of Alosa
Alosa was born in a natural and wholesome way, without pretensions or expectations: two girls performing music as they understand it, with no frills or fireworks. Just the two of them and the song.
What is most surprising about Alosa is their ability to create full and rounded songs with only two members, without the sense that anything else is missing. Giulietta’s hypnotic voice is a perfect match for Irene’s energetic cello which, although typically thought of as a “classical” instrument, sounds both modern and traditional in her hands.
