Drusuna creates Ritual Pagan Folk music as described in this self-penned quotation: “The connection to the mother earth is what we pursue through our music. Shamanism is presented in our concept as a link to the ancestral roots to which we belong. The modern world has reached a level where people have almost lost their connection with nature. Humans are using and have abused the planet to the point of no return! Despite their intelligence and technology, most of them are not able to raise their consciousness to a level high enough to hear the planet’s grief, because they are full of arrogance and greed. It is urgent to find once again the missing link and connect with nature once more…Drusuna intend to spread this message through their music. Ritual Pagan Folk music!”
With such a poetic introduction, it is without doubt that Drusuna offer a special listening experience. Drusuna is a Pagan Folk Band from Gallaecia (Northern Portugal). The roots of Drusuna project began in 2009 by Sephirus and brother Alvahagal. The initial idea was to create primitive sounds with only organic ethnic musical instruments made from wood, stones, and other natural elements. The main idea was to build something directly from the roots of the earth, because the call of nature was the driving force behind each project. After two years of productive rehearsals came the concept of their debut album, “Kaytos Kom” (2016). Drusuna left the forest and hit the stage in 2016 at Oestrymnis folk festival, Ponte da Barcacelt folk festival and other stages throughout Portugal. Summer 2017, Drusuna signed with Friendly Folk Records and March/2018 found the release of Kaytos Kom in digital and physical format. Their singles, ‘Spirits of Ancient Trees’ (July/2020), ‘Solitary Woods’ (March/2021) and ‘The Eldon Grove’ (Sept/2022) pave the way for their highly anticipated 2nd album in 2024. November/2024 finds the release of Drusuna’s second album, ‘Beyond The Green Realm’. Limited number of CDs available.
