L´HAM DE FOC is a group from Valencia that plays contemporary folk music. Their first release picks up principally mediterranean sounds which are mixed with sounds from greece, the middle east, India, Australia or the north of Europe in order to get a fusion that is based in antique music. Considered as Dead Can Dance from Spain they present a fresh, worked out folkmusic that follows the present tendencies of the contemporanean folk. In 1998 they were winners of the INJUVE (Instiute of youth) reward in the category best newcomer act in folk music. Surprising in their music is the extraordinary voice of Mara Aranda which is accompanied by qualified instrumentalists.
