Evo is a group of musicians, widely experienced in the fields of Early and Roots music (L'Ham de Foc, Trio Petrakis/López/Chemirani, Aman Aman, Ross Daly & Labyrinth…) who have dedicated this new project exclusively to Medieval music, directed by multiinstrumentist EFRÉN LÓPEZ.

Their philosophy regarding the interpretation of this effectively "dead" music, leads them to investigate elements found in living traditional music, both European and Asian, which hold some ties to our Medieval past.

Their first CD: EVA, contains 13 original Medieval songs arranged by Efrén López, and some other. Brand new composed passages have been added following the rules and aesthetics of the period with few concessions to traditional elements such as Persian, Turkish or Greek.

THE PRESS SAID:

"In between the interpretive rigor and current experience, between the historic past and connecting existing musical traditions (European, Eastern and North African ), EVA is a different view of a part of our cultural history.".
JORDI URPÍ. Revista musical catalana.

"It is comforting to find such an encouraged and groundbreaking proposal as EVO's. Their medieval music pieces are far away of their former condition to sound sensually reborn, disturbingly alive and present."
