Caamaño & Ameixeiras dare with Jeanette’s “Soy Rebelde”

Caamaño & Ameixeiras revisit “Soy Rebelde”, a composition by Manuel Alejandro originally performed by Jeanettein the organ of the Church of the University of Santiago de Compostela. According to the duo, the song depicts a type of “intimate rebellion”: not an epic or combative rebellion, but one that is born from vulnerability, loneliness and the desire to find oneself in a world that is sometimes not understood.

Sabela Caamano (chromatic accordion) and Antía Ameixeiras (violin and voice) form Caamaño & Ameixeiras, a Galician duo linked to roots music and dance since its birth in 2018. Taking tradition as a starting point, the duo creates its own language, with personal compositions and arrangements that maintain the essence of the popular while incorporating contemporary resources.
