Celtic-inspired folk and ambient music

VAL is a music duo founded by lead singer Valentina Buroni and guitarist Valerio Vado.

​

They play traditional Irish music, folk music from Western Europe, English prog rock from the '70s, shamanic chants and Celtic-inspired original music. 

They re-arrange every song for vocals, amplified classical guitar with sound effects and ancestral instruments like handmade shakers, wind chimes and tubular bells.

​

VAL's music is a bridge between past an present. It's a journey through the magic atmospheres of the Celtic world. 

Their chants speak of an ancient spirituality connected to Mother Earth. Their songs tell the stories and the legends of women, fairies and goddesses.
