Milladoiro is a Gaulish folk band that emerged in the late 1970s from the merger of the groups Faíscas do Xiabre and the musicians Antón Seoane and Rodrigo Romaní. She is located in the area of traditional Celtic music in Galicia and tries to keep the sound of instruments such as the Galician bagpipe gaita , clarinet , ocarina or bouzouki alive in folk music practice.
Milladoiro are considered important ambassadors of Galician culture. In addition to numerous own productions, they also recorded the soundtrack for the film La mitad del cielo by Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón and received the Spanish Goya film award for the best soundtrack. In addition, they received honors and awards from various organizations, including the Premio Castelao of the Galician provincial government (Junta de Galicia) in 2004.
