The video, titled ‘Verdes Herbas,’ includes Doa’s newest member, soprano singer Susana de Lorenzo, who has an admirable voice. ‘Verdes Herbas’ appears on Doa’s album A Fronda dos cervos.
Doa is known for its combination of ancient folk music and Medieval traditions with modern elements such as electric guitar and keyboards. Many of the pieces on A Fronda dos cervos (The Deer Forest) are based on Medieval songbooks such as the renowned Cantigas of Alfonso X El Sabio (Alfonso The Learned), the codice Calixtino (Calistine codex) and the Martin Códax. The rest of the material are original pieces by Doa members Xoan Piñon and Bernardo Martinez.
Doa’s current line-up include founders Xoan Piñon, Xaquín Bernardo and Blanco Martinez, along with master zanfoñeiro (hurdy gurdy performer) Oscar Fernandez and vocalist Susana de Lorenzo.
