[edit] About the band
During its career, this musical group has spread Galician music and culture. The band became famous worldwide after Mike Oldfield took interest in their music. Oldfield fell in love with their song "O son do ar" (The sound of the air; composed by Bieito R. de LNL). In 1992 he offered help in their worldwide tour. Now it is one of the most famous groups from Galicia. Their first singer Rosa Cedrón is also featured with Mike Oldfield in some songs of his live concert at Horseguard's Parade, near St James' Park, London. Rosa Cedrón left the band in 2005 and Sara Vidal became the new siger.
The group recorded a version of Gerdundula by Status Quo.
The Spanish heavy metal band Mago de Oz made a cover of Luar na Lubre's song "Memoria da Noite."
Their most famous singles are "O son do ar", "Tu gitana" and "Chove en Santiago". All of their lyrics are in Galician language.
