Career

From childhood, Cedrón's vocation focused on the cello. She was a member of the Municipal Chamber Orchestra of A Coruña, and later, a music teacher in Ferrol. She was also a teacher of Sabela Ramil, a contestant of the television pop music talent contest Star Academy (Operación Triunfo) 2018, being a finalist in fourth position; Cedrón and Ramil sang "Negro Caravel" at the program's Christmas gala.[2]

Luar na Lubre (1996-2005)

Cedrón began to collaborate with Luar na Lubre,[3] initially as a cellist, but ended up also being a vocalist and with great success, a fact that the musician Mike Oldfield would observe, inviting her to participate in the recording of Tubular Bells III,[4] something that increased Cedrón's popularity and the success of this folk music group.[5] For nine years, Cedrón did extensive work with Luar na Lubre, performing on the best stages, recording several albums, and collecting recognition awards for her music. Meanwhile, she combined her intense career with other projects: recordings with the flamenco music group La Barbería del Sur; the participation in the soundtrack, "Blanca Madison" or "Illegal", put her versatility to the test.

Solo (2005-)

In 2005, Cedrón left Luar na Lubre and thereafter, she dedicated himself to her solo career,[6] publishing her first solo album Entre dous mares in 2007. In 2010, she released a record with Cristina Pato, with Cedrón the voice and Pato on the piano. In 2013, Cedrón recorded the album Cantando a Galicia with Paco Lodeiro and Sito Sedes, a project that also included a concert tour. In 2016, she published Nada que perder, her second solo album. Recorded at the Casa de Tolos studio, the album Nómade was released in 2021. It was produced by Sergio Moure, and included the musicians Xavier Cedrón and the pianist Miguel Artus.[7]
