Founded in 2014 by Tiago Marques and Tiago Morais, Alma Menor explores the sonic and timbral convergence of the Galician bagpipe and the chromatic accordion, bridging ancestral Portuguese traditions with contemporary musical languages.
A major leap in aesthetic maturity and sonic exploration between bagpipe and accordion. 3 original tracks recorded between Maia and Corroios.
