Authentica
Folk, world and Celtic music
Authentica celebrates the beauty of the songs and stories from past and present traditions through the sounds of folk, world and Celtic music.
The five-piece band founded by singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer Martina Menichetti blends together lively tunes from the Celtic regions with folk songs from Luxembourg, exploring the country’s hidden treasure of legends and danceable tunes.
With songs in English, Luxembourgish and many other languages, Authentica combines ancient and modern instruments, original compositions and traditional songs, mystical ambiences and an energetic stage presence.
