The group was founded by childhood friends Luciano Varela (bass guitar) and Fernan Mejuto (keys), who both grew up in the Spanish region of Galicia and were inspired by bands such as Manu Chao, Che Sudaka and La Troba Kung-Fú. Together they studied Jazz at the conservatory in The Hague, where a close-knit group of various musicians arose. Debut album Camino del Sol saw the light of day at the beginning of 2017, after which the great adventure along the many festival meadows began. From MadNes and Oerol, to Zwarte Cross, Wildeburg, and Into The Woods, Parkpop, and many international festivals.
In 2019 the Mamih’s decided to slow down to be able to fully work on the second album. The band shuttled back and forth between seven different studios in the Netherlands and Spain to find the perfect conditions for the album. The result is a new album that is more mature, political and philosophical than the debut. MAGHíA shows a sarcastic and raw image of our current reality.
Safe concert visit in PAARD
We want to continue as much as possible of the current program in an adapted manner. We do this in the safest way possible and within government regulations. For this concert it means that a maximum of 30 people can be present who can visit the PAARD. Of course, our (strict) 1.5m measures that have already been implemented will remain in force. There are also a number of new rules: mouth masks are mandatory in the building (except on the seat). The catering is closed and no drinks or food may be consumed. We hope that everyone will continue to do their very best with us to comply with the measures within and outside PAARD. For more information click here.
