Galician folk band
Tanxugueiras () is a Galician folk trio formed in 2016 by Aida Tarrío and twin sisters Olaia and Sabela Maneiro. The group aims to bring a modern sound to traditional Galician music by merging folk sounds with pop and world music influences. Their music focuses on themes such as the understanding between peoples, the defense of the Galician language and culture, and women's empowerment.
History.
Beginnings.
Tanxugueiras made a name for themselves in Spain even before the release of their first album. In early 2017, a video of the trio singing with "A Banda das Crechas" in Glasgow became popular on social media. Later in 2017, they collaborated with fellow Galician band "A banda da Loba" on the song "Pepa".
2018: "Tanxugueiras".
In 2018, they released their first album, the self-titled "Tanxugueiras". For this they won the 2018 MIN Award for the best album in Galician.
2019: "Contrapunto".
In 2019, the band received the Martín Códax da Música Prize in the category of "Traditional Galician and Folk Music". Later in the same year, their second album "Contrapunto" was released. It was produced by Tanxugueiras with the collaboration of Isaac Palacín. Along with pieces closer to traditional music, such as "Perfidia" and "Miña Nai", other tracks such as "Malquerenza" and "Desposorio" have sounds reminiscent of pop or electronic music.
2020–2021: Recognition and new singles.
In 2020, Tanxugueiras received the award for "Best Adaptation of a Traditional Piece" at La Opinión de Música de Raíz Awards. 
One of their singles released in 2021, "Figa", was chosen in a vote among fans of the Eurovision Song Contest as the favourite song to participate in the 2022 edition. Subsequently, they entered Benidorm Fest with the song "Terra", which is based on the traditional rhythm of Muiñeira, with the aim of representing Spain at Eurovision. The song was published to significant positive reception, garnering over half a million plays on platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music on the first day of release.
2022: "Terra" and Benidorm Fest.
Tanxugeiras progressed to the final of Benidorm Fest 2022, winning both the televote and demoscopic vote, coming in second place overall in the semi-final behind Chanel Terrero's song "SloMo". In the final, they came in third place behind Chanel and Rigoberta Bandini. In addition, they collaborated with Rayden on the song "Averno", which will feature on their upcoming album.
Following the competition, Tanxugueiras entered the Spanish charts for the first time. "Terra" peaked at number seven on the Spanish Singles Chart and "Averno" entered at number eighty-one. In addition, their 2019 album "Contrapunto" entered the Spanish Albums Chart at number fifty-two.
On 29 July 2022, Tanxugueiras released their third studio album titled "Diluvio", which includes the singles "Midas", "Figa", "Terra", "Averno" and "Pano Corado". The album debuted at number four on the Spanish Albums Chart, marking their second entry on the chart and first top 10.
